great job everyone. no idea how land of little people managed to hit 31 mil with communism

uh, maybe i overestimated my end NW this round. now, i think i'll be happy if i hit 25 million NW


sent you a pm!

i didn't mean to sound rude. i just still don't know what you're trying to say


great job, dude! keep improving. maybe even ask the players who do even better than you for help in order to improve?

i knew i shouldn't have drank coffee and then watched all that porno

failure failure failure... isn't so bad. i just rather be winning and succeeding


i have no idea what you're talking about dude


Thank you so very much. i needed to hear that. even if 28 million NW is very good, i will always aim for improvement! success and failure should be measured by how much you improved over your past iteration! and in the off chance that you are wrong and that 28 million is not so good, i will still aim for improvement over the past reset!
but i don't think you're wrong, tho. so i should be very happy. but i feel like i've been stuck in this 28-32 million NW spam cluster for over 3 years, now, in tournament

to some people 26-28 million NW is very high lol
to some people 26-28 million NW is very low lol

but i don't care. all i aim for is improvement. trying to get better and better each round by trying new things and adjustments

i think i'm going to reach around 26-28 million NW this reset for my commy, because of how bad the tech market was this reset

i have no bus/res tech because they cost too much

my industrial tech is not really maxed out, because of how high the costs were this round

the low selling price of turrets/jets/tanks/troops didn't help either

my stockpile right now is 1.7 billion, which was around the same amount as what i had last reset at this time of the round, but this time i have no bus/res tech, so the turns will be costly

whoever sold me that 20,000 industrial tech, nice doing business with you!

that's a great idea! i will make those orders right now.

glad we're not competing for industrial tech lol

if i set a standing order at 4000, the sellers will just sell their industrial tech at 5000 or 5500. best not to create any high standing orders or the sellers will think demand is ultra high and they'll try to get a "good" price for their tech

could someone please sell industrial tech? like we're starving here; you can make a lot of money if you just tech industrials and sell them at 4000

so what i think is happening is that somewhere in game b or c, there's two techers going to war with each other, and that's why there is no tech on the market

yes, there's no tech on the market

this whole reset is ruined for me. not doing anything well. stuff isn't selling well. no industrial tech on the market. i'm so poor, i haven't even started stockpiling

this idiot is about to get his ass wooped lol

goat only reached 10 million last reset

how else do i sell my stuff? i have to undercut all the other commies

i am so fluffed. all the communists are so fluffed. no one is buying turrets or jets anymore this round. it was a big mistake to go indy

thanks a lot

will i reach 35 million NW with my current strategy?

i tried at tech start last reset. i reached 29 million NW, whereas i reached 32 million NW the reset before that using a normal build 260 CS and then start batch exploring strategy

i am also already doing exactly the 20 turns and then sell and then 20 turns and sell, in an attempt to tech faster

my plan this reset was to do a communist indy with all the stuff that people told me to do at the beginning of the reset, which is get a lot tech as early as possible, and use the profits to get more tech, but i used up my first 100 turns to build cs and then worse yet, i didn't have any money to build industrial complexes so i used even more turns to build CSes to get money (from my 100 farms) to build industrial complexes until i reached 20000 turrets

now, i am sitting at 140 CS and only now do i have enough money to build as many industrial complexes as i want.

well, my intention is to explore to 1900, build industrial complexes all the way, keep making money by selling my turrets on market to buy industrial tech, and make another 60 CSes (and buy more industrial tech) and then batch explore to 3800, build it up with Industrial complexes, and batch explore, and repeat, while buying industrial tech as i can

am i doing this right?

you always forget to destock. this is like the 8th time you've done this

oh, i forgot about that. thanks!

i need tech allies for my tech start.
i will be researching bus and res for my tech start
hit me up asap!

we need more people for this idea of changing governments to gain traction. but not enough people visit this area of the forums

oh, i must have misread those responses

guys, stop making fun of me! i'm serious about changing governments in order to introduce some more variety into this non-changing aspect of the game that has existed since the beginning of earth 2025 days

maybe my ideas for changing are too radical, then we should make some very minor changes! that would still introduce more variety and make it fun for existing players

my idea of very minor changes:
a 10% increase here or there, a 10% decrease here or there, in preexisting governments.

that would make people who are very experienced and focused on the theory behind each strategy (comy indy / rep casher / dem farmer / theo techer) feel a huge breath of newness, which would be fun!

i don't really know the deep dynamics between governments in this game, but here is my attempt at new governments or additional stats to old governments

TECHNOCRACY (the research government)
+50% science maximum
+100% maximum missile science
+20% research lab effectiveness

THEOCRACY (the buyer/reseller government)
+300% private market replenishment rate

REPUBLIC/DEMOCRACY (the casher governments)
+20% res/bus science effectiveness (or maximum science)
+20% population growth

DICTATORSHIP (the thief government)
+30% spy tech effectiveness
+100% espionage gains
-50% spy maintenance cost
new op: rob banks
new op: rob food stores (even those on market)
new op: rob oil (even those on market)
new op: propaganda (a very difficult op that requires huge advantage in relative spies per acre), this allows you to have a random chance of stealing another country's troops / jets / turrets / tanks (the randomness means that you don't know which category of unit you're stealing in each successful op)

TYRANNY (the super warring government)
-50% military losses on offense and defense
no military losses in helping allies
allies don't get losses if their military helps your military
+1 defensive/offensive ally slot

i would like oil science to be implemented

these changes are just from someone who doesn’t really understand the deep dynamics of the game. feel free to suggest anything and remove or add what i listed here

we've had these same 7 government types for the past 20 years. can it be like utopia where the stats of the races/governments change every reset? i think that would be fun

edit: woops, maybe this is in the wrong forum

what's a coup

effective immediately, i will be taking control of paradime and its name will be changed to paradie ....

despite the fact that i've never played in alliance before and i don't have any idea what i'm talking about or what's really going on

does this mean it's pointless to sell turrets, troops, and tanks and buy turrets, troops, and tanks, because you'll never get attacked?

omg plz dont hurt me, i hope you're not in game A, superfly!

i wasn't here 15 years ago, but i'm pretty sure it's still a "wild wild west" server, because you can do anything to anyone as long as you don't collaborate with someone else. if the mods find out that you chatted with someone and used this chat to team up on another player, you will get deleted

sometimes, two people can be at war, but if you intervene on behalf of one player (without the person you're attacking doing some type of harmful op against you), you can also get deleted

those filthy netgainers will find the power of god's might rushing down their throat.

it's completely gone to fluff. none of my turrets will sell even if i put the at the lowest price
this set is ruined. i knew i should have never gone communist

none of my turrets are selling. no one is buying turrets today, damn it
two days ago, turrets were being sold off nonstop that the market didn't have any turrets to sell. today, nobody buys turrets
at least the jets are selling off

*watches and eats popcorn*

rocky79 would know what to do with this interaction ;)

oh yes, absolutely!

update:

so basically, i am deep in my first and final teching/researching phase (i just spent 200-250 turns teching to 150k industrials, 50k business, and 50k residentials). i am about to switch to commy/indy. i have 3950 acres and i am about to raze all my labs (3694 to be exact) to industrial complexes. after that, i will batch explore to ~7500 after loading up on turns from the bonuses.

analysis of this approach to getting tech (teching instead of buying from market):
i don't think it's a bad approach. Because while i am teching at 3950 acres, i am getting about 1200 tech points per turn. assuming that i could have sold this tech on the market, each tech point is 3500$ each. this translates to roughly 1150$/acre while teching/researching. This is a whopping difference compared to say... buying tech from the market as a farmer. if i were to buy tech from the market as a farmer with say 0 agricultural tech, i would be making around 200 dollars/acre from my 3694 acres of farms. same with commy/indy, i think.

so i would be getting much less tech if i were to buy it all from the market (with each tech point around 3500$ each at this stage of the round) as a farmer or an industrialist. The only bad thing about using teching/researching phase instead of just buying it all from the market as a farmer or industrialist is that while i'm teching, i'm not exploring. i just spent 250 turns teching, which could have been used to explore myself to around 8000 acres by now. 4000-5000 additional bonus acres as a farmer means that i would be making around relatively 500-600 dollars/acre as a 3950 acre farmer with 0 agricultural tech.

oh no, please don't hurt me, i'm a virgin ;)

but there are no communists either in game a, b, or c => high demand for military units ;)

i'm going commy/indy this time, since swamp guardians says he's going farmer. can't have two big farmers, that would flood the market and make it impossible to make money for either of us

i always buy my tech as early as possible


damn, tech starts don't work on this server, huh? oh well, i will try it anyway this one time

wow, swamp guardians himself! if you don't tech start, how did you get 38 million NW using commy/indy? the best i ever got with commy/indy is probably 28 million NW

i'm not too sure if it means anything to talk about my strategy, but here goes:

usually, i am an explorer farmer. i batch explore first, then start buying tech until it no longer benefits me to buy tech (payoff does not overcome cost of tech), and then i keep exploring in increments after my 2-3rd batch explore. i don't buy spies, i don't buy tanks or troops, i don't attack, i just keep exploring and building farms and stockpiling my bushels until the end when i sell all my bushels on private market for 35/bushel. with this strategy, i am able to get around 27-28 million NW by set end.

but i noticed that some people (swamp guardians) are able to reach 38-40 million using other strategies. i've been trying to figure out how they do that, and so i think it's because they implement a research/teching phase at the very beginning which is far more cost efficient than buying tech incrementally using the market, and so that is what i will do this round

i will batch explore to 3700 acres (convert everything to research labs), then i will tech for 200 turns, hopefully reaching max agriculture tech, and then i will raze my research labs into farms and i will play like normal. hopefully, with this strategy, i will be able to reach 35 million NW by set end

wish me luck!

also, if you think there's a different way to reach 35 million NW as a farmer, or if i am wrong, then please tell me!

i've never had sex nor have i ever kissed a girl before

i keep running away (or ignore) when girls like me and chase girls who don't

nice :)

how did he die?

i know that guy. i had a war with him in the past. very annoying. i stopped attacking him and he kept doing ops on me
