Way too late in the set to only have 2k acres. You need land. Land is the key to everything. You build per turn should be higher. Love that you maxed out Res and Ent, but they will fall fast as you add acres.

I would spend a day building up CS, then start batch exploring. You might be able to explore out 40 turns with so little acres? Certainly not a full maxed out turn save.

Any news?

nice

Get a new op up. Life gets in the way, but I'll watch for it.

You are too little. You need CS to grow fast. At this point, there is a week left at best, put up an op and lets see how to maximize what you have and maybe get you into game A. No promises, you are so little, but lets see a new op.

I post the updated status:)

BPT is good for 11K acres. You need about 55 bpt for 11K, so good work, just have more acres next set.

This really is a pretty good country. I've played Casher only since about 1998, and this is a good make up.

I assume the stupid ammount of troops is because you are adding net for the end push?

BUY TANKS! dear god, buy tanks. You could be leveled to nothing right now. You need 100K tanks minimum. I think I have 3-4 million of them right now. They are the second most cost effective unit on your private market after troops. You should be buying them anyway.

Don't change it this round, but a ratio of 11 bus to 10 ent is better when food runs in the high 30s and low 40s. so for 5000 res, have 5500 ent. You make more not having to feed the extra population. For the same reason, run with a 36% tax rate. Also have 5-10% more Ent tech points than res tech.

Your spies should be higher. I'll bet you found that you couldn't spy on/see anyone, right? Get 15 spies to every acre and most people won't be able to see you, and you can see about anyone. I'll bet you could have more land if you could grab better. Land wins this game.

I wouldn't add spies now. If I hit my land goal early, I'll sell spies on my private to get to 10 spies to every acre to lower expenses. But run with 15-1.

I may think of other things.....

Thanks a lot for details, they will really help me to improve my next set. I will try to keep the mentioned ratio 11/10 ent/bus, it really make sense when you are talking about the food price . Which will be the difference increaisng the tax rate with 1 % (36 instead of 35) in terms of decreasing the cost of food for population?
Even a low no of spies, I was able to spy more than I estimated, probably due to the small no. of acres (I know that there is calculated a ratio beetwen no of spies and level of country when it is decided the succesfull of a spy operation). But you are right, I should try to increase it in the next set, probably to build from the beginning double no of ind or to keep also that ratio of about 5% of total area for ind.
I would really appreciate any other suggestion and I would like to thank you for the advices.

All the best!

I started this round of tournament with almost 1 week later than the others:)
