Accidently grabbed someone today who I had already grabbed earlier.
Trying out a diplomatic approach and offered to give advise on how to run his country better. Instead of just defusing missiles and outgrowing. Let's see how that works..

I meant 25 turns total for the set, not 25 turns in a day.

Maybe magellaan stocks on 8k acres?

You probably can't defuse the guy's missiles if he's in GDI (or if you are!). But if he was tempting enough to hit twice I'm sure you'll outgrow him quickly.

Yes, I can't even defuse them.

Military market seems to be getting bought out daily. I keep seeing nothing for sale at certain times. Are the big comies storing turns waiting for tech prices to fall?

I doubt it. Storing turns as a commie is an invitation to fall behind and be relegated to the 40th-100th place once the top 40 start farming you.

Tech's remaining 3.2k, so it does begin to look more and more like that elusive techer reset.

If you want tech prices to fall, then no land grabbing techers! =p

The more techers produce and sell the cheaper prices will be right?

It's been +32% for two and a half years and yet it never said that under the gov info screen. But it was announced here:
http://forums.earthempires.com/...ernment-rule-dictatorship

Now it does have the bonus on the gov info page in game but it says +40%. Not sure...

TJC probably got off early in grabbing by a day and probably did the couple of late night log ins to follow the 20hr ps waiting period. I've yet to wake up at 4am to try to get that day ahead. Only been Lging every morning, so 24 hours between grabs for me.

What I am curious about is BiBiGoN.

He hit a few of the commies at the top and so far no retal. I wouldn't think it would be that difficult to break him if you are already siting at the top.

He isn't in GDI either, which tells me he probably isn't going to stay at the top for very long (one way or another). Maybe they are waiting for him to become a better target. Or maybe they are afraid that since he is not in GDI and grabbing big targets, that he is just looking to pick a fight and war with someone for the rest of the set.

+40% ghost acres is the same as +32% building capture in case anyone was still wondering (I asked qzjul).

Looks like a war started between #39 and #149 because #39 did a RoR. He grabbed me too but it didn't seem worth it to me buy up jets instead of more tech, kinda glad I didn't bother with it now.

Can you elaborate how +40% ghost acres is equivalent to +32% building capture? The ratio of built:unbuilt acres is unknown when you grab ghost acres, and even with this tidbit from qzjul, you still can't determine this.

I'm surprised dude would ab so hard considering he has a pretty decent set going so far. Pride maybe?

Because Cannon, if one is willing to double tap (the second one being a RoR at that), then he has already taken the chance and gambled that the person he RoRed wasn't going to sacrifice his reset to ruin both countries' reset.

He failed the gamble.

[22:25] <Magellaan1> qz, is +40% ghost acres for dicts the same as the +32% building capture?
[22:26] <~qzjul> Magellaan , yes

That's about as far as I can elaborate..

food hit $100 a few days ago and was $48 yesterday for a bit
military is averaging about $150 now

Interesting set here.

I think food is going to stay low awhile longer. I also saw it run out but then way more came back onto the market, and the oil market was reflooded as well.

Sounds like a bad set to be a casher! Im struggling to keep tech levels up too.
Im waiting for it to drop below 3k, because after that it should be downhill all the way

Look at the number of cashers vs number of techers.

Bad set to be casher. Maybe the top 10 might see only 1 casher this reset, with maybe 5 commies, 3 techers and 1 farmer.

It's nice to see competent commies playing: the longer we can keep prices this high the more we can profit :)

If he weren't theo he could easily tech some GDI. I mean he still can tech GDI but theo's tech sucks. Hopefully nobody missile bombs him for no reason.

I don't think cashers are necessarily out of it. This is my perhaps incorrect assesment of the situation:

1) It's a good tech start precisely because there aren't any really big techers. Sure techers will t10, but won't really compete to win.

2) I'm not sure it's a bad set for casher for those competing to win. Eventually the average commies will grow at a faster rate then normal compared to the average cashers. And then the market prices for military will go down. If the best cashers have avoided being grabbed up til that point they could actually end up doing very well. I spied one casher today who had a very impressive country given tech circumstances to date.

3) It gets really interesting if top commies grab top cashers right now to try to keep the cashers from catching up later. But the t15ish countries each set seem to have an unspoken DNH agreement so I kinda doubt this will happen...
