Interesting set so far! Are the public markets always this empty at this point in the set?

Been slowed down a bit by two very foolish countries that now have no hope of any decent finish this set. :-)

Looking forward to this set.

If people could see the Abe Lincoln style hat I have on when I play, I would get the respect I deserve....or at least that is what I tell myself.

Good ol honest Abe, he could handle the truth, but not the Booth.

Not gonna lie, I’m pretty disappointed #53 stopped playing and is now out of my range. I wanted to have some fun with him.

He is not out of range for you to send him a strongly worded message.

If you get some enterprise buildings, there could be big retail to go along with your big retal.

If a defense ally of a target has twice as many turrets as the target, how much benefit is actually given? It's not the full 25% right?

25% of your defense allies turrets/troops/tanks help out on defense of your country, but with a max total boost (both allies) of 100%.

So if you have 10 turrets, 100% weaps, monarchy and your allies have 100 turrets each they boost you 10 turrets or (100+100)*0.25= 50 turrets, whichever is less, ergo you get 10 turrets worth of help (100% boost)

If, however, you had 100 turrets you would get 50 turrets help, which is a 50% boost.

You get 25% of your ally's D. You can only double your own raw break though.

One ally can fully double you, but no more. Two allies can't more than double you, either.

Ahhh I didn't realize one ally could fully double you. THAT was lost on me. I knew you couldn't get more than double total though. Thank you both for the details.

Here's a question. Say I have 1m turrets and 2 allies with 4m each. We've established i can only double my 1m to 2m, but how much does each ally help? Will they both suffer losses on 1m turrets, or 500k each?

Gerdler

The total losses will be the same if they have 4m turrets each or they have 4m turrets total. When it comes to allocation of losses, especially if the allies more than max you each but don't have equal numbers, Im not sure actually, I should have payed more attention I guess. I could make a guess on how it is but I never payed enough attention to know for sure.

Unless Slagpit knows, this could probably be set up for a test in FFA pretty quickly

I would imagine that if they were both huge and contributing the max 50% each to double your defense their losses should be even regardless of who is bigger. If the lesser ally is only contributing 100k and the larger 900k turrets. Losses would not be equal obviously.

I was wondering if it actually distinguished that you have 2 allies or not. If I have one ally only that has 4x the D, they will double me and have losses on 25% of their D if I get hit. If I were to add a second ally with 4x my D, then it will recognize that it should only use 12.5% from each?

Not that important, I was just thinking there could be a flaw so I threw it out there.

I am confused. How can one ally double them when the max bonus is 50%?

I think the intended meaning was "double the bonus". i.e. one single ally can actually provide the full 50% bonus rather than 25%

One ally can give 100% bonus. I think serp was saying if you had 2 huge allies they would each give you a 50% bonus to get you to your max 100% bonus.

Did Avenger (#2) get deleted for sharing breaks and trying to get people to gang bang #28? I messaged him telling him that would result in getting deleted.

Clapping brought back Tinkerbell, maybe it can bring back low oil prices, both seem equally fanciful now. Clap if you believe in sub-$200 oil barrels!

Delphi isnt selling his food I take it lol. He will get it stuck as food crashes hard soon. The usual pattern is: Delphi is the biggest farmer = high food prices + delphi finish low. Please prove me wrong on one count by selling your food now instead of when food crashed. :)

Ok, I'm #68 Banned in DC. Yesterday I pulled off a 2300 acre grab against the much larger #50. "Cool" I think, because he can hit me back, but can't take nearly as much as I did, and if he starts a war, I have options. But then he gets an INSANE 3200 acres back in one hit. How was this possible? It can't just be the small disparity in MilStrat. I would have let this go, but he says in PMs "Anything I say about this will be used against me. So I will stay silent on the matter." WTF.
