this food market is quite unsustainable at this rate. I'm not sure what's going to happen. People may start to build farms themselves and hence reduce the food demand. Quick analysis of the different strategies in game now:

Techers - The big ones are stocking for a while, they are the one driving the food up probably. Don't see any techer dumping their food stock soon, there're 3 more weeks to go! The smaller techers are probably reaching their land goal and will be joining in the stocking.

Commies - they could start building farms soon and that will reduce the food demand slightly

Cashers - don't see them building farms. With the number of cashers this set greater than last set, I think their only way out is to continue to grab until the end. However, their daily consumption is likely big enough to cause the food price to remain high.

Farmers - well, there're just too few of them. We may see smaller countries converting to farmer to capitalize on the food market.

Overall - I think food price will remain high for the foreseeable future.

But then again, never trust what analysts say =P


Heh old man, this is all assuming ppl know what the heck they are doing. The smaller techers are probably small for a reason (they don't know what they're doing and may not even stock). And smaller countries might not be smart enough to realize the opportunity of switching to farmer. But then again this all depends on you definition of 'small'.

Here's a question, are ghost acres based off total acres gained? So like, since a tyrant gets +20% gains (before ghosts), are the ghosts calculated based on that larger grab? So that effectively, the tyrant has +20% gains before ghosts and then slightly additional ghosts as well because of the larger gain... and how does that compare to a dictator, who has +40% ghosts - how does it compare as in, if AustAgder made that same grab but was a dict, would he have gotten more total acres?

There were 3155 ghosts. *1.4 = 4417, or 1262 additional acres there for the dict.
There were 6219 acres grabbed. 6219 /1.2 = 5182, or 1037 additional acres there for the tyrant.

Well qz said +32% building gain is equal to +40% ghosts. So if a dict gets 32/40 = 80% of that 1262, which is 1009 extra buildings already built for you.

And that is why all the landtraders in Alliance are Dicts. And yes, they all go -building costs bonus.

I don't understand how the gains work at all to be honest. Even with the tyr bonus and Im guessing mil strat tech I don't get it why he gets more than twice the land I got on my retal on fearvendor..

I also can't find the formula for this in the wiki. Maybe I glanced over it but does anyone know?

How much does a 60k food farmer earns now / turn?

60,000 * 5.3 * 200% agri* $75 = 47,750,000 / turn.

Heh, nice, that almost twice the amount a casher/indy can produce right now excluding food consumption still. We can see a 100m casher and 200m farmer this set.

Pretty stupid to sell 2.7 mils turrets at that price....considering the market commissions would have been better to sell on private.

This is why I say that past a week long retal is some bullfluff. Is the 119 acres usefulness compounded over ~30 days worth 6219 acres he had to give up for it at the end? Factor in the military losses plus rebuild costs and I highly doubt it.
