Holy Hell, they made ICCYH a mod? And a mod of a server he is on record as having zero respect for at that? This only makes me believe more than ever that quitting this game was the right choice. Earth is in a death spiral, and the admins are only doing things to make the end come faster.

I was going to apologize for not being around to run my standard Demo Casher, but five seconds on these forums quickly killed any nostalgia I had by reminding me how unprofessional this game remains.

And, Monsters, do not forget to specify, when time and place shall serve, that I am an ass.

buy bushels with excess money (after buying oil, military, techs and building up) just keeping enuf money and bushels in hand that you can play your turns every day or if you are farmer then stocking your own bushels produced except when you need money.

Patience: Yep, I'm with ELK and Marshal.

Welcome! Have you picked a strategy that works for you yet? Are you playing to achieve a high score, or just to paste some fools?

Hey all, good to see you there Viceroy. I'm taking a vacation. I expect Iccyh will disappear soon when the crystal meth all becomes too much and he ends up dead or in rehab with no Internet. Now you can delete this post and give me another forum ban, thanks.

Don't bother stocking kamac. Keep growing. You did good. Your techs all up and up? I neglected my country badly yet again, skipping many days of growing and ignored my techs for too long when oil skyrocketed, and I shoulda focused more on my tech. Lol. Sucky set all around. I'm actually thinking of calling it quits again early and cashing out the remainder. Not sure yet.

correct you are my basketball-american friend, this is only my 3rd set in primary. Having said that i probally had the win but i've been too busy to play this last week and between that and many, many mistakes and trolls this set i was really disappointed with my performance, and that is def more to blame for my recklessness than my being a n00b. feel free to grab me guys im probally done not sure if im even gonna bother hitting that guy back.

i do have 2million tech and 16 mil turrets though, could make for some funny topfeeds.

so who is it guys? who is the biggest jerk on primary. their fate is in y'alls hands.

I gotta say that I've received a lot of helpful advice on this forum about effectively playing. Haven't run into too many headaches that would cause me to ragequit like done by some former players.

The techer strategy is pretty fun, especially the times when oil and food is really expensive, so I'm forced to work through it while still remaining technologically productive. The hidden gem I've found this set is how building military bases saved my ass, even though most techer guides I've read through suggest a pure research base approach.

There's a reason why they are all labs. ;-)

In the old game where military prices were always higher I used to love converting to MB reseller, but wouldn't think of it in this server how it is now.

and Oh!! Yesterday, I got 993 buildings and 390+ blown up by earthquakes. Really annoying. Costs me a lot of $$$. :(

I'll say that's annoying. I'm way behind you. Never recovered from taking those days off of grabbing, then getting hit twice. My techs are set if i stayed at my current acreage. Congrats on making it through this crappy Indy set as the top Indy. Lol.

Always build all-labs (other than the CSes, and a bit of Indies to produce spies). The reason is that Tech-Per-Turn is calculated as

Tech Per Turn = 0.17 * Labs * (1 + Labs/Land)

Look at the Labs/Land part of the formula. This means that the lower % of your land that is labs, the less Tech per turn you get. Example:

10000 acres, 4500 are labs: 0.17*4500*(1+4500/10000) = 1109 tech per turn
10000 acres, 9000 are labs: 0.17*9000*(1+9000/10000) = 2907 tech per turn

The value of additional tech you get from having higher Labs% on your land (you're teching them to sell) far exceeds the value of lowered upkeep from having *any* Military Bases. In fact, mathematically, MBs are only good at 0% of your land. The only other time MBs are good is if you are no longer intending to spend any turns for the remainder of the reset and are preparing to destock a massive stockpile; you want to be at 99% MBs in this scenario. This is because MBs generate no income, and every other building type generates more income than MBs can, unless you are not spending turns.

You're probably doing it wrong. Is your Res/Bus both over 160%? This should be exceedingly easy as a techer. Most techers stock with no less than 175% (or 185% as democracy). Unless you're over 50m in NW, your income should be positive, not at -1.2m per turn.

With just 3+ days left, I don't think any commie will break 100M. We'll see.
Only 1 person looking like he/she will crack 100M based on what I see, but I could be wrong since I'm not playing and haven't paid attention this set.

Anyway just dropping by to say hello =P happy new year everyone!
