Do you have a destocking plan? I can give you destocking ideas, if you want.

you should get at the very least a minimal amount of Troops/Tanks :-P

Don't really need troops/tanks unless you attack someone more than once.

Yea..destocking..and really some general tips..seems i can run any strat to about #5-#12 ranking..but never any better.

i would love to see slagpit's answer to two questions

honestly hoping to learn soemthing

what was the appropriate destock?
and how does this reflect on the question of whether Fascism is a competitive gov type when even Republic is a better farmer than Fascism?

Wrong linc.
Both Rep and Fasc are good strats.

And id actually say Fasc is better than Rep.

And i have finished 3rd as fasc farmer.

Well i ran this Rep strat as well as i know how(not saying much)..
My Fasc countries of past sets finished far better..
Thought i would give it a try tho.

That country finished first as an all-X fascist farmer.

How would I destock as a fascist farmer?

On the last day of the set, public military prices aren't very reliable. I destock off private because it's reliable and easy. The units available on the private market are based on when you login. If you don't login for 24 hours, your country will have many units on the private market.

So I don't login on the last day until there's between 1-1.5 hours left in the set. I explore/build/cash as necessary after I login to around 360 turns. All bushels go to the public market for $38. If you did well, you should have over 100M bushels. That quantity of bushels may require a public market clearer.

Is there any advantage to staying as a fascist at the end of the set? Your stock is on the market, so switching governments will barely hurt your country. There are barely any turns left to play in the set, so your food bonus isn't much benefit. The 20% PM discount makes switching to theo worth it.

So over the last hour or so, I try to sell as much tech as I can. When my bushels and tech sell, I use that money to buy up private military units. Typically you can spend most of your stock on troops and tanks.

What I posted isn't a complete picture, but it should get the general idea across.

um, if you can protect your stock from loss, why wouldn't you max military tech and dump the bushels on private before you started buying?

i'm guessing that the obvious answer is because switching to Theo drops the sell price for food the same way as Military Bases.

Yeah, theocracy's bonus drops the sell price for food the same way as military bases.

just as a matter of game theory and what you are striving to do with express, does it make sense to reward people for not being logged in? i think the rule where private market units and how quickly they regenerate based on how often you log in should be re-examined for express.

no, i think you should be penalized for market camping and having nothing better to do with y-o-u-r l-i-f-e.

we don't want people dropping dead like all them Korean Starcraft players, now, do we.

I feel that if people pick the right strategy, they should be able to run a decent count while only logging in once or twice a day. In this case, part of the destocking strategy is to remain logged out. The PM unit gain is a positive. Obviously the country pays a price for staying logged out for so long, in some cases severe.
