What do most of you use for your bonuses?


This set I went building cost up to -40.3% and now on expenses at -9.6%. I will continue expenses for another 10 days then food booms.

Depending on strat, if I go techer I do building cost, as farmer I'll do turns early then booms.

I started with building cost because I was afraid I would switch strats, and I’m doing decay because I’m gonna try the no stockpile thing again

Ive gone all on expenses thus far.

Curious to know what the other top players went with.

I always go expenses, maybe I should switch it up for dif strats

but ya, expenses and turns, 9 bonus points a day so 2 for expenses and 1 for turns every 2 days

As a casher I really like pci boost

Everyone has a little twist. I'd like to hear from anyone who ever went with luck as a bonus.

I've gone with luck as bonus throughout the reset in a set of team before

It's very hard to quantify.. but I think I got more missiles than I would have otherwise

Where is Tulsi Gabbard?

Who???

The only hot dem candidate for president

Well said. Hello Mrs President 😉

i went for 10% defence and the rest expenses for republic.. someone said should not be going for defence bonus but i just feel more comfortable and need that psychological boost with the defence to offset the -10% defence of being republic lol

I can't find round 61 thread. Did it disappear?

Who deleted the round 61 thread????

Yeah, defense is kinda silly.

Defence benefit is no guarantee, but reducing expenses (each turn) is.

Bonus

When you're using bonus for pci boom so you can cash turns and make some money as a techer.. you know your reset is shot.. lol

bonus

I use the first 16 bonus points on free GDI. If I'm teching all set I use bonuses for turns. Otherwise I get the Expense bonus until half way through the set, and then use cash booms (or food booms).

Luck is great when doing all-xp.

Here I usually do expenses then turns or booms. Sometimes I switch early, sometimes later, depending on strat and what I need urgently.

Last set I went GDI first 16

Then expenses to -30%

then booms/turns

then booms for the last two weeks

Seemed to work well

I get in two expenses bonuses before using 16 for gdi. oops, just gave away my only earth tip.

Do you grab enough land to make building cost worth it on this server?

If you get past 30-35k then yes

hmmmmm just my gut feeling is that even 35k acres isn't enough building to justify the points. I'd have to actually do some numbers on it but that's just my initial reaction.

I went building cost 2 sets ago to-40% or 40.2% can't remember. Yes it was worth it if you go above 45k acres. I went to 60k acres and it was very much worth it then I tell ya.

Lol disregard the triple post tried to fix a mistake and made 2 more

n00b :P

Ok 60k may be another story :p

I feel like, even at 60k, expenses are the way to go. If you have to rebuild alot or can manage to stock with low military, then i could see going a different way. Last set i didn't have to rebuild any of my 60k buildings, and didn't stock. I went to -36% expenses. I prob saved 2b+ cash over the last 5 days alone. I'm thinking that's all i would have saved for the whole set by going -60% building cost.

Well for starters going the entire set building cost would be the opposite of a good idea :). Yes there would have to be common sense applied and if used to be valuable the cutoff would have to be early like no later then day 20 to 25 and move on to other usage. That's what I did and moved to expenses afterward and it really turned out well. Especially since I gained the majority of my land after I had already moved to expenses. As a farmer making zero income on bushels having the reduced land building cost helped immensely. It allowed me to move up the board much quicker as I had more limited money to devote to expensive tech and units during the down bushels time. I never sat down with a pencil and paper and actually went over anything ever im just stating as a dict farmer playing in that round it was a good choice for me to make. In your set with your playstyle and no tech start as a commie I agree it would make 0 sense to use building cost that round.

Would expenses outperform on building cost in the majority of games and strats i would have to think so and agree with you.

Good point about tech starts getting land after upping building costs, and stopping building reduction a third of the way in. There's definitely alot of variables that can come into play.
