Pride comes before the fall

I would think rainbows don't buy from the market either... So no supply or demand impact. We need farmers and oilers now. Without bushels turns aren't played and then other commodities run low. We won't see the sets market equilibrium until food prices stabilize.... whatever that will end up being. But I'm going to be calculating how much agri tech my commie needs to make farms match the production value of turrets.

Looks like Yodal is going to be the only significant Fascist on the server this set. I'm not sure if any of the 4 Democracies in the top 30 are selling food. Are we all going to have to become rainbows?

Wish I wasn't in there. Has anyone gotten away with a single landgrab in A this set? Everything I've seen has either been retalled successfully with a PS or missiled back.

When was the last time that happened. I was playing my first set in a month and couldn't sell turrets 5 times so gave up. Top CI finished 24 with under $20M NW. Weird set.

I am new here. Hadn't played since 2012. And unfortunately my 8 techers used turns instead of decay. So I am watching my end of set goal fade quickly with the price of a bushel. But that makes a lot of sense that with 90+% decay the demand for food is almost none.

The medical tech I was refering to wasn't the price it was that in a 24 hour period 40.8M pts were sold in comparison to 15.5M sold of military, or 35M of Agri. Seems like an odd way to transfer money...but maybe.

it's a bit early in the set for most people to destock...but it does appear to be dropping. This could be an interesting indicator though... If destocks were being prepped Military tech would be bought....instead Medical tech jumped. Maybe I should start scanning for red countries ?

Tech
type min price avg price max price amount
Military $2,191 $3,151 $3,876 15,572,903
Medical $1,605 $5,630 $9,997 40,877,741
Business $1,603 $2,614 $3,116 92,627,090
Res $1,617 $2,450 $3,003 53,022,227
Agri $1,607 $2,923 $4,300 35,091,875

In my opinion it very much depends on how fast you are going to grow and how much defense you need to keep to protect your land. If you are only growing at explore rates you will be able to keep up and increase your tech while growing. If you are growing faster as a % of your total land it will be more difficult to keep up your tech rates.

The other factor is defense. I made the mistake in primary this set of not teching long enough and then growing too fast out of the gate and not being able to keep up with Defense, Offense and Tech at the same time. Because R/C require the most tech per acre in the early phase when you can explore 25+ acres per turn you would need to be able to buy something like 750 tech pts per turn to maintain a healthy revenue per acre. I haven't built a spreadsheet for it but there is probably a sweet spot where the growth % of acreage allows for adequate investment in tech and military. I hope this makes sense.

Didn't learn my lesson and did the same thing again. For those who change governments to destock, do you tech up before losing 17% just in case it's not available?

I came back to the game recently after about 10 years off. After a quick look around it seems like FFA is all about teching and farming bots as fast as possible. I don't have enough free time to wait for bots to get out of DR or to sell multiple times a day for all 16 countries. A few questions.

1) Are tech prices always above $4k every set, or have the past few sets been excessively good for techers? I can't imagine a casher is able to compete well buying 30 pts of tech per acre at $5k.
2) What's the bot to human ratio, and is it always very easy to find a bot not in DR?
3) It seems like Kill4Free is setting up a DMBR from day 1 and sending as much stock as possible to that country to optimize $ to NW conversion. Is this common? and are there multiple countries like this most sets manipulating market prices and reselling?

Thanks all for any guidance. The dynamics seem very different from when I played 16 Dictator farmers Landtrading back in set 20.

I've only played a couple sets after a long time away. During my destock last set I thought that the sell price for food was higher than it used to be, but I was trying to play 360 turns in 4 minutes so I didn't stop to look. Does it still start at $29 and go up based on the $ of mil tech you have. For example 29/.82 = $35, or 29/.81 = $36?

Edit: I found the answer. $32 is the base price so I guess $39 is highest it will go with max milltech

I understand there is a replenishment rate and a decay rate and that the size of the private market equalizes based on the land and turns generated since last login. My question is in regards to decay. Does decay occur when you play turns or when a new turn is generated.

For example if I want to maximize destock size in express and wait 24 hours. Then cash 360 turns in 2 minutes before a new turn is generated. Will any decay occur or will the size be the same until the new turn is generated.

Thanks

This will be my first set in a long time (8 years I think). I got warmed up in Express. I'm doing a tech start into something undecided at this point. I'd love to have some defense or tech allies though as I am unfamiliar with who the better players are at this point.

I too would like landtrading in FFA to return to the way it was. I dont mind the dictatorship change as much as the reduction in overall ghost acres an increase in build costs. The only reason to net in FFA instead of other servers is to land trade, with the changes of the past 6 months, FFA netting isnt as differentiated from other servers. I agree with most of the other FFAers on this board.

In saying that I do like the challenge of adjusting strategy from set to set.

Thanks pollex, I was hoping to top Drinks before the upcoming changes. I wanted $400M ANW bad though, and I should have had it. There are still a lot of things I could have done much better.
