But if you are in GDI, and you don't want to chance being hit with missiles or other harmful attacks that could mess up your set even more, you may reconsider retaling a "retal" no matter how late. According to GDI, any country who has hit you more than twice is fair game for anything, regardless of how spaced out those hits are, or if they are in response to hostile actions.

Yeah, I agree that's a reasonable calculus for whether you can get away with it by taking advantage of GDI rules, but I don't think that makes retaling a month later a reasonable thing to do.

Reasonable or ethical? what would your response be if someone retalled you after a month?

Im interested to know what the top individual ANW was this set. I think in PAN we didn't have anyone over 250M.

we will do better next set :-)

I guess if I was a demo I could have sold stock, waited 3 days and then bought bushels back and ran 120 turns. I was a Theo.

with tech prices dropping below 1500 it was the right move for me to destock at the bushel peak. even if I lost 3 days of stocking

on express selling oil on private market will provide the fastest start. when you can sell on public you should start building farms and buying aggri tech. A pure oiler can't match other strats unless oil is >160 for ether whole set. you want to hedge your bet with farms.

Is the tax based on what government you are when you send the goods to market, or when they are bought?

what strategy? i would have thought republic farmer would be best suited for all X, but I've never given it a try. i agree though that techer has the possibility of a good market. whereas a farmer is mostly market independent.

I was in the same boat. Demo casher FTW now!

I figure if I buy tech for $1799 and sell it for $999 at the end of the set, you can't bet that ROI.

I think that over the course of an entire set everyone will likely get the same amount of earthquake damage. I hate earthquakes, but from a competitive perspective it can be a differentiater.

Should you build more construction sites early on to account for rebuilding a percentage of your land? Should you rebuild or destroy the land or keep it unused? These unplanned decisions can add a tiny bit of seperation that may make the difference between two players.

However I don't know what the distribution is, if it is possible for two players of the same size to have 1,000 acres of destroyed building difference in a set, that is too much.

Ya Andrew, but that difference is because in other strategies, you don't specify how much cash to cash for, or how much food to farm for. If tech was changed so you specified how many turns you want to spend teching, instead of how many tech points you wanted, it would work that way.

Agreed, I think there have been some previous suggestions to change research based on turns. Not that the earthquakes issue is a huge factor though.

that is a difference from teching and other strategies. All other strategies will see a drop in per turn production from an earthquake in the middle of the batch

also remember that you should be cashing turns. even though most of the money you gain will come from sale of goods, you will gain 20% more (our lose 20% less) from cashing a turn vs selling.

I think for an Indy to sell after 30 turns cashing is pretty optimal. if you wanted to do the math you would find out how many turns of production will increase your expenses the same amount as the 20% cashing bonus. obviously your tech will change that optimal number. a good Indy will have cashing tech too

well done drinks. I finished just above 350M ANW ($5,602,249,336 TNW) in the set ending January 31st. I'll have to play another set to see if I can top you.

I agree with everything you just said blid. I did a CI tech start this set for the first time. It was a bad set to try it as tech was $2200 when I was teching but even so I feel it wastes too many turns.

$5,601,674,843...I have 2 M troops on sale still for $230, I won't have time to login and buy again so if they sell that number will go down a bit. Nevertheless it should be $350 ANW.

[quote poster=Angryjesus; 14872; 269805]5.6 bill is 350 mill anw, that would be an interesting target.

I should come up just short. My guess is 5.5 bill TNW, but reselling could change that.

Why not self farm from the beach?

Ok Drinks, so $5.5B would be the next milestone. I think a few people will hit $5B this set...Anybody out there care to predict a $5.5B finish? I think $6B is impossible without outside FA.

Edit: I guess if I ran 16 techers this set I would have had $6B, so I should probably think through my posts better. But this was a crazy set for techers.
