But JJ is going to break the casher record... or if not him, Bohemian or Cats.

I agree, but my point is that even if prices ARE ridiculous due to big cashers, even the big cashers are setting record marks... everyone is scoring high

if we can get 2000+ players in a primary game, that'll be a fun game to play.

all I can say is that a demo will probably take this set. Food, oil and tech prices were just too high for too long. Military prices were in the low 100s for a long time too. A bad set for CI.

#11 is obviously going to be tough to beat. But I would be surprised if no commie reaches 120m. I wonder how much higher #11 can get.

i wouldn't call it a bad set for CI. I'd say avg. There was only 6 days where it dipped below 120.
If you think about all the cashers that had to buy bushels at $65 and selling at 45 or less. Commies/farmers only have 1 production tech vs 2 for cashers. Commies also need less tech. CIs make the only production that is efficient for netgaining.
Now with the high prices, you can really use that additional income to cover the higher expenses. Since a lot of commies were storing turns during high bushel price inflation, you have plenty of turns to run now with higher prices.

Not really true that a commie only has 1 production tech. Spy any of the top commies in the top 10 now, you'll find all of them have 170% or higher bus/res techs. That cash is important.

It is the casher that has less production techs, even a farmer keeps high bus/res, because if you calculate it out, it is worth it.

I wouldn't be surprised if farmers have that luxury this set. Look at the prices.

at the prices farmers had, a smart farmer should be top 3 this set. If I ran farmer this set with these prices. I would've made over 90k acres and over 90 mil net easily. And if i stockpile, it would've been easily over 100mil.
But if i ran a big farmer, i'm sure prices would've been different

If i ran a farmer this set and stockpile then 120mil net is really not that difficult. I'm sure a lot of people can do it too. This is assuming price is the same.

There's a big difference between talking and doing.

There are only 16 people who have finished over 100 million nw prior to this set...you aren't one of them.

Tduong, you said that it wasn't a very difficult task to hit over 120 mil nw. I never said that I could hit 120 mil net as a farmer (or any other strat).

You also implied that you could've "easily" been over 100 mil net. Again, I simply stated a fact that only 16 countries prior to this have ever finished over 100 mil nw.

I don't understand how if a task is so "easy", that you haven't managed to place yourself there yet?

ah NM, I see he has been going up and down some, I've just been noticing him at the 100m mark for the last few days and figured he had no gain. He probably just had goods sold every time I look.

I'd have figured his stock would have been bigger though. He should be like 125-130m with the amount of stock time he had.

lol why wouldn't a commie put everything in expense bonus. I could see why a techer would turns or a casher but not a commie lmao.
But we're just guessing. Maybe he has a lot of turns stocked with a lot of cash. Just wait a few hours.

Well... tested the expense bonus (30%) with a rep this reset
and it really works well. Even if I decided to not play for the Max NW the 22th of february (and even before) :-), I finish with a good NW.
With a demo farmer, 30 % expense bonus, and bushels at 50 it's really possible to make something good.
