I am mostly just curious if farming is still viable. It was back in the day but I am uncertain if there are better routes to take now?

depends when starts de- and restocking and if has military tech since during last week (or day in express case) price drops quickly so getting 38+ (37 for demos with max mil tech) bucks per bushel from public will be hard.

The amish live snd die by it. Corn subsidies help, but mostly farming is a difficult life. Especially if you enjoy indoor plumbing and bookkeeping in black ink.

Try iowa.

because of the market and the laws of supply and demand any strategy can be viable just depends on how what the biggest countries end up as.

Well I used to compare after market tax without expenses. I think that is reasonable so for techer ~1/3 tpt/acre and tech sells at 3000 means $1k/acre/turn except I would add tax income to that. Techer naturally stands out but it used to be quite informative to see at what market prices different strategies/govts were competetive.

Thing is I don´t remember the formulas and some of them seem to have changed since last I played (swirve days).

Edit: I have noticed the changes to the private market which have helped to raise the public market price for food. If all else is equal this should make farmer more competetive in general. However, all else is not equal. :)

If I have time I will do a reset of tournament in game A next set and see if I can win it as I only got second and third before. :( I started an account this weekend. Who are the strong players still playing? Rockman, raheel, h2, Eug, RCT?

I see no apparent reason for it but I got the impression Techer is no longer the best strategy. When I last played it was either tyranny to democracy techer or theo techer that were competetive and casher was a distant second. Indy was useless but farmer could work depending on the prices.

I see the govt changes and I guess the explore changes matter a lot but I don´t see why a techer couldnt just start grabbing a bit later, it still makes the most per turn/acre until the tech prices dip under about 1500-1600 if the formulas have not changed significantly.

techer is still viable even as all-x (on soloservers). if you want to win then you need to start grabbing earlish.

if eug is eugene from laf then he might be around others you mentioned are gone (stopped playing/never moved to ee or kicked the bucket).

Havent read a single post here but:

Farmer < techer/farmer any day

Start as farmer up to 1000 farms-> 4-5000 research labs -> tech for Agriculture-> sell tech on market & sell bushels in private -> dont spend on anything except research labs until you can sell for 300mil + profit each cycle.

Never let your money drop below $ 300 mil.


Buy 600mil-1bil in 1type of unit at a time once you reach 2mil-3mil networth

Watch your country jump like crazy......

(Always invest in warfare at least a bit when starting up-> by the time your established you ahouls own over 20 missiles)
