It's that time again folks...

Hitting a bot 5x with no DR is a much better play than hitting a human player 5x.
Especially when they are similar in acreage.

I've been happy to turn countries into parking lots two sets in a row now.
Just let me get back to netting... don't be stupid.

Regardless of DR, thou shalt attack only automatons.

Regardless of DR, thou shalt not break thine own GDI against humans.

The punishment for breaking GDI against humans... purgatory ^..^

someone septa tapped me...
I do not usually retal. Saturday night* is shaping up nicely so I think I will let it go.

*Some of the obdurate and deliberately obtuse object to the use of the phrase "Saturday night" to include the hours after midnight but before dawn so the asterisk is needed.

No rules. You learn by trial and error. This round you got a lesson. Next round we shall see if you learned.

Only a few countries have been ABed or BRed into parking lots as of late.

-Castles Made of Sand (#55) for double tapping Aphsinx (#66) (I assume this is commandos)

-stoner (#99) by Blitzville (#39), although he didn't start it and #39 did. Then an unknown entity, likely with intent to troll, piled on out of the blue.

-Just Too Bad (#64) by GDI Salesman of the Month (#13) for quad tapping.

-Omeros (#98) by Blow Stock to Retal (#87) for multi tapping.

or commandos simple way if you join GDI dont' hit anyone more then once in the set or do any harmful ops. they won't be able to do anything but SS/PS, bomb banks/raid oil/raid food

I made an effort to not double tap but I did hit C R O A T I A, 83, twice and one other , a bot I think I hit just about everyone, getting hard to find a target I haven't hit. Its hard to not break GDI

Maybe wait until they are larger, do you then use up your single hit on the country.

Or maybe it's the game telling you you've gotten enough land and to venture out more by double taping increases the risk to you exponentially.

F that farm them to the ground and just keep a lot of tanks around. Quad taps daily to keep them in DRs! lol

Sure. Buy tanks.

Have a high SPAL too.

Have high SDI too.

All of the above are expensive to maintain and don't actually benefit your country's netting growth. Meanwhile people stay in GDI, piss few people off and buy turrets and jets only, keeping costs down.

Turrets need to be high too because they might tailor production to your defenses.

Not to mention lots of troops, because your productivity grinds to a halt once they deplete your population with GS.

All of a sudden everything need to be high.

Simplest way to keep expenses down in GDI turrets:jets = 1:3 first 36 hours, 1:1 36-72, 2:1 72-96, then last stretch you shouldn't need any more jets and should be selling them and buying turrets with the income. No need for troops/tanks or high SPAL/SDI or any other tech but your income tech as you only single tap countries.

SPAL is a personal taste, if you plan to keep alot of bushels/cash/oil on hand then keep a 20-30 SPAL, if not 5-10 spal to spy on bots.

But remember spies carry the highest expense of any unit.

And, those spies are not content with mere bushels, but require expense accounts and martini lunches which translates into a high bushel consumption per spy compared with regular citizens.
