and perhaps even an exploring tech!

fluff

acres? No. An exploring tech... not needed at this point but I would support it if changes made all explore worse or somesuch. I think we should have an oil tech to have another strat tech.

why not?

I don't know why you'd want to be able to buy Acers, they are horrible computers.

buying acres would just be like mars2025, and that game sucks.

explore tech would be interesting, but Reps would be too overpowered.

rather than have oil tech which caters to an existing strategy, the game admins should come up with something completely new that will actually make us develop new strategies.

we don't need to improve upon the old ones, we need new ones. this game needs something fresh, not tweaks to old strategies.

I agree

didnt realise one could do that in mars2025 that alone would make me against it

yeah something new like pharmaceutical factories. where they produce amphetamine. and your jetpilots need them to attack. you produce more by getting med tech. also, small countries must pay more on the public market for these drugs than large countries. also farmers, indies, oilers and rainbows must pay more.

plus we should get that government that tan made up earlier.

Pacifist country:)

can't grab and can't be grabbed:)

but, it is only available the first week of the reset, and once you are in that country type you can't change out of it.

Bah bad idea

it may be OK for this server and this server only.... i wouldn't support it everywhere though :p

Too many techs as it is, I cannot wait to explain to a FB newb the difference between Mil tech, warfare tech, strat tech, and weapons tech.

how about removing stuff? remove oil? and fascism? med tech? em's?

Bring back GS steal bushels. That fixes everything.

Detmer wants that because that's the only way he could net

Increase food sell price on PM to 36 or 42
Then make PM bushel cost to 80

detmer is in PDM. they like to suicided and ruin others gaming experiences ;) and bore why would you remove oil/facsism?

yes there's the revolution we've been waiting for. increase and decrease food prices on pm.

How is GSing for a bushel gain different than landgrabbing?



And Jelly, I can guarantee my highest NW is higher than yours. If you don't think so, then post here your best finish. (oh that's right, you won't reveal your precious identity so I win by default)

Also, increasing food prices makes the game less dynamic - not more. It will just increase the number of farmers.

i'm sure your highest net isnt even better than mine ;) No pdm'er has beat me since EE started up :P

Detmer. I've netted to 120m+ and it was my first and only reset that I tried to net

How about you?

I don't believe it unless you show it. I'll show mine once you show me yours.

(yes, I mean it that way too)

I know your ability to troll in secret is your top priority so you of course will make an unverified claim.

it wont work... the problem isnt the amount of land. the problem is every1 wants more land than the guy next to them. every1 will still end up with the same amount of land. then people will start complaining that they dont get enough land.

there is plenty of land in the server. people just complain because they dont have the most

Detmer, I said the networth, and it's public on a website that I cannot change.

Why don't you post it first?

Detmer has had a few nice finishes. He isn't a terriable player.

No real need to play the penis showing game, becuase mine is bigger.

We now have the ability to reset the clock of when our stock comes back by recalling and putting the bushels back up for sale. Doesn't this eliminate the reason why bushel-stealing GS's were eliminated?

eh not for the people who arent careful about it :P

Isn't it your alliance that always talks about how small clams can survive if they're careful with their land?

Detmer's got a point. The difference between a GS and a land grab has been minimized.

I dont talk about everything they talk about :P I think it is a good thing they changed that... it made them unkillable :P

on the subject of land in particular

its good for average/achievable land to have a relationship to acreage sizes at which the decision to go mbr or not is interesting

if everyone is 200k acres no one should go mbr

on the other hand if techers couldnt grab any acres after say 10k yet explorers could go to 30k easily then perhaps all techer should go mbr

No, it made them very powerful when there were tons of countries will millions of acres lying around poorly defended. Stockpiling is player contrived - not a game mechanism. If the ability to steal stock is too powerful it is because you empowered the stock stealers.

fluff all of you for trolling the thread and getting off topic.

not sure I understand what you are saying enshula. Can you expand on ur thoughts plz?

im saying that it does matter if everyone is 10k acres usually before stocking or 100k acres

if they are 10k then mbr is a lot better because rebuild cost is 370m

so yoou get 25% cheaper cost for spending only 370 therefore ignoring turns you only need 1.5b worth of stock

if they are 100k rebuild cost is 360b which is impractical in both cost and turns and would imply required stock size over 1440b

the most interisting land sizes are when some people should go mbr and some shouldnt, usually techers will be the ones doing mbr who will stock earlier because of falling tech prices

therefore land, (this includes explore rate, grabbing environment, ghost acres, daily bonus acres) should be tuned with the intent of having some techers choose to mbr and some choose not to

as the game is set up in alliance the only people not to go mbr are some grabbing farmers and some cashers (grabbing and allx). In the line of people who should entertain not going mbr, techers come last I would think. Why do you want to make it so that almost everyone doesn't go mbr I"m still confused heh

Detmer you must try to be ignorant. Stocking is intentended with the way the game is designed. And the way it is it is almost impossible to stop a suicider. Use 2 sets ago as an example. Son goku had a country with a 17-20millionish break and he got suicided. Stopping someone who comes from a tag is virtually impossible no matter your defense. Thus the change to unempower them a bit while still leaving them the ability to do so
