yea.. ugo makes a decent retal.. biggest hit in this round.. he took all the cheap jets lol

I spied him to see how many jets he had, and he basically destroyed his country to make this retal

He has very low bpt and he's a techer.. his tpt likely went down, and he hurt his own country more than anything

I guess the retal is more important than the finish for some folks

He’s Theo techer- it’s not like he’s making too much teching his turns right now. If anything he needs the land for his finish more than anything

I did that last set, sometimes it has to be done in order to send a message, the hit by Prowler on a vet with under 10 days left is a BIG no-no.

KoH knows where its at :)

he cant squeeze in top 10 this round anyway.. so make a huge retal to end the round with the biggest hit and put it into own personal history record book.. also quite a nice thing to do for personal achievement lol

ah few days ago i peak at u like a peeping tom (i was intending to hit your very quiet ally after prowler hit on him), u were at 36mil turrets lol.. that's a really psychological thing to handle to fend off possible retals by going turrets heavy.. kill the expenses and prevent a retal from the bottom, and give a slightly higher chance for non commie to snatch a win

i dont think prowler is a non-vet newbie, his country setup is good and he makes good hits.. he wouldnt be someone's ally if he is lol.. his ally save him, otherwise i would have sneak an attack on his large land cos im really land deprave this round with so little worthy targets to hit..

He's a returning vet, I know him and if and when he decides to reveal his prior nick, you too might recognize him :-)

How many units per turn are you making? I imagine the negative income is heavily outweighed by the production, right?

162,357 turrets in 1 turn if I set production at 100%

so... assume a sell price of 130 and 10% commissions

=18.9 mil or so minus the negative income and negative bushels... it looks like you will best me this set bug

This is my first set ever playing primary.. and I'm not normally a commie indy player

Next set I will explore a lot more early and not waste grabs on 100-200 acres early like I did this set

Also, I think I'll try a dif strat.. maybe a demo techer or a casher

Getting land in primary is both the most important thing and the hardest thing to do. That’s why it was important for ugo to retal and that’s why I stock up 40+ missiles.

Some people like to get fat on low defense and earn themselves a retal, some like to get bigger than everyone and dodge Missiles and other people can’t figure out why they can’t keep their land.

As a non commie Indy, you’ll find land much harder to come by next set. I am probably going to tech next set so ally me.

I agree with you here Delphinus. I thought Bug and think Bug will be the only one to challenge for the win at this time.

Gl all in the destock portion which should start commencing today or tomorrow for some folks.

you guys ever wonder why this server gets smaller ? maybe its because there is 7 or 8 peeps who pact each other and rape/pillage the rest, nobody likes getting farmed . have fun with your little social club ya'all got going on here !

My first couple sets here were brutal, here are couple basic pointers I learned via trial and error...

1. Don't build rainbows.
2, Get D/I/R allies ASAP.
3. Do tech start.
4. Don't do SS, only PS.
5. Don't start grabbing til you have a good foundation.
6. Don't multi tap unless you can handle a war.
7. Partake in Primary Talk (you learn a lot, trust me).
8. Retal ASAP.
9. Same country name every set helps establish yourself.
10. If you get multitapped, do not let it slide, you don't even have to have a long scrimmage, enough to send a message to the rest of the players, if you allow farming you then become an attractive target, getting warfare tech is a great way to fend off would be bottom feeders from multitapping you.

Those are just a few basic steps every new player or anyone wanting to net in this server should take, like I said, I learned from trial and error, nobody told me about this.

I’ll do about 94. Losing 40% of my current 32m nw to switch to Theo is gonna hurt. I’m gonna do some math and see if I can’t squeeze out more by staying rep

I would have to think staying rep and jumping of the private and public market would give the most bang for buck. Especially if you just purchase troops of private and snag any cheap public regardless of the expense cost to future cashing turns.

I just do not see stocks being big enough to warrant a theo conversion with such horrendous penalties. I always liked the phase in slowly and reduce optimized turn usage and grow with cheap military.

It’s a ruthless place to try and survive. You either feed the lions, or strive to climb above and be the lion.

That’s the challenge of primary, and why it’s a fun challenging server compared to alliance. You can’t hide here.
