Why do you guys waste all of your turns like that? It seems like the strategy I would use if I never wanted to ever win 1st place

I can’t think of many ways to use your turns less efficiently, maybe you guys could try the construction site strategy and just build 2000 turns of construction sites and you all would still get to waste all of your turns and KoH could actually do proper landgrabs like every single skilled player who ever wins does

I’ve said the same thing. They need to give the few guys that do the super stupid grabs their own three bots so that they can do their 10 acre grabs all sets

It’s easy to get anywhere from 400 acres to 1300 acres on express and those guys blow all of their turns doing the super idiotic grabs and it ruins the game for everyone else that wants to actually have a decent finish. Those guys blow all of their turns on that. I just don’t get it.

Depends on the server and the set

Either set standing orders and go for a public market destock or get your military tech looking nice and use the cheap private market prices to destock.

If oil and food is super cheap and everything else is high sometimes its best to
Do an oil Destock as well. The write up on that is over on strategy forums.

After seeing the way they would send guys to suicide Tmac across every server every time he would have a record broke (which was a lot) I will never consider any LAF record as legitimate.

They have just cheated way too much. They should be banned for life from the game for cheating over and over and over. It’s absurd. There is no honor in that.

There should be an
Asterisk beside those records. Among the community there surely is.


Who knows how many other ways they cheated. I feel like what is discussed is most likely the tip of the iceberg.

Not the full 60 but if I don’t run out of time to get my stocked turns maybe 55+ mil ? I think 70+ is possible on a good set.

They are also ruining the bots. They are using all of their turns on 10 acre grabs for god knows why and making sure the bots are in DR so that’s all they can get Imao

Here’s the one single bot I managed to find they didn’t do that to. Notice the difference in grabs they are doing versus a normal one. Possibly the dumbest thing I’ve seen anyone so in this game and I vote on these guys just getting their own bot to keep doing 10 acre grabs on.

I like the grabbing and big scores on the bot servers but the market on team and primary is MUCH more fun without the bots. If only there was a way you could get the good aspects and trash the negatives without changing the dynamics of team or primary but allow for more landgrabbing.

I know bots on primary are very very unpopular, but what if they didn’t change the public market at all? Would the guys here be ok with that? Everything else stays the same?

Is there any way to add land to the game without messing with the market dynamics that everyone loves in primary?


What about a bot market so the bots can be grabbed but don’t use the public market?


Is there anyway at all this is possible? Without the bots maybe?

This thread is to discuss and theorize how the chosen one will break 200 in primary.

Who is this mystery man?

What strategy will he run?

Will superfly AB him
For no reason?


Is this even possible?

To play a match without superfly doing this?

someone said in primary that tech leeches don’t work if your TPT isn’t high, so unless you are a techer you won’t get much tech.

He may have been a techer, and the cause of me not getting tech from our alliance may have been that I was a rep casher actually now that i think about it.

Seems like it causes you to get like 50 tech points or something really low

You can use the other missiles to just up their SDI. If they have high sdi I will use cruise missiles first, but if I think they will go through I will send nukes first in general, but during a solo kill run saving turns is more important than using the other missiles typically. The biggest problem is running out of turns during the kill run.


The tyranny attack bonus + decent military strat levels solves that problem and is why they are so dangerous.

Skol usually gets solo kills as a tyranny techer with military strat up, I think.

You use spies to demoralize 10 turns before your kill run and do like SF said, hold turns to max turns and you only want to use chemical missiles for the run. Nukes and Cruise missiles don’t kill population so it’s better to save the turn.


Build 1k indies early on for spies. Spies are very important. From there just run a techer and once you have a lot of cash stockpiles and turns saves the kill run should be fairly easy with the tyranny.

Fascists are harder to do it with imo but others do it including superfly.

I like the darkness vs light theme, it reflects the world we live in and the chaos that stems from the eternal struggle between the two. The very universe is divided in this same fashion so how wild is it that the game community natural separates into these two group as well.

The biggest issue I keep seeing is the lack of players. Adding more bots to alliance just obscures the issue and helps the land-obese top players play as if the game is somehow still competitive. It's not. Placing top ten in alliance server is like beating a six year old in one-on-one basketball. I know nothing about this game as it stands today (except what I read on the outdated wiki), but finished 21st in my 1st set in alliance because there are so few real players. I'm not even proud of it, after realizing how easy it was.


As Misses Blackhole already said, many of us have said the same. It would he great to see recruitment and the game needs it badly.

Maybe if you know a good way to go about that you should hit up Qanon. I think that’s the guys name that runs this place. Q shaman. Q something anyways
