2 more grabs and im in stockpilling mode. This strategy usually gets me between 13m and 16m nw which isnt that good for express lol. I'm just thinking maybe its me whos doing it wrong ; i had a 1 day tech phase at the beginning when i teched all the tech i have.

I think a tech phase with an H casher is a big mistake. H cash is pretty good without tech and a moderate amount of tech makes it competitive with R/D cashers. However, H cash needs to acquire and hold more land than other cashers. You're best off getting big early. Get on top and stay on top. A last day converstion to MBR may or may not be a good idea...

I don't see too much of a problem with Theo Tech Start -> Theo Casher (not to say it is the greatest or anything), but you might as well get a reasonable amount of tech if you are going to the trouble of doing a tech start :-P

now that makes sense :P
i always tech start quick with low land (before first batch explore or i get farmed) and i try to do it quick so i can all explorer and get to 8k land fast. My bpt(Building Per turn) is always a bit high but i like it cause if i get my land fast enough i can hope for tmbr (Theo - Military Base - Reseller)at the end.

The one problem I see w/ a tech start would be the delay in land gain for a casher. You'll have to tech for so long to make it worthwhile that you'll end up behind the rest of the server for land, and not have gained a huge advantage from it.

it seems to be the case, casher start is what i do worst in this game right now.

I'm not sure if it's any good but my H cash start is super simple:
Save up 360+ turns
Set tax rate to 35-36% depending on food prices
Build 1 turn ent/res in approx 10:9 ratio (e.g. if BPT is 7, build 4 ent, 3 res)
Build CS one at a time until BPT increases by one (it's usually 2-3 CS with H so I actually build 2 CS and then 1 more if needed)
If more land needed to build, explore 1-2 turns
After reaching 2-3k acres in this fashion, activate exploration bonus and batch explore max acres (using explore bonus at this point might not be ideal if you're playing all-x)
(You can build to your desired BPT either before or after the batch explore. I'm not sure which is better.)
Use level 3 reduced construction cost bonus (-40%) to batch build on all the acres you just explored

If you're quick enough, you can do all of this in Express with zero or near zero military since the scores only update once per 15 minutes.

i did this once and i got farmed just before i buy some military.
