...so I haven't played in 5 or 10 years....

Just realized Demo bushel price on PM goes above $37 with enough Mil tech lol. What's the max?

39 for demo, 38 for normal govt.

I have no recollection nor did I take time to properly math this so I could be wrong but if my mental math serves me right its 29 max for theocracy.

$39 Dem with Max mil ( in express)
Different on other servers. Think Max is $38.

On other servers max is:

Demo $36
Theo $26
Normal $35

Thanks, good to know. Trying to pick up on these server specific differences. Just realized tech sells and $999 instantly, and to still expect idiot suiciders, just now they hit with 6 hours and 10 minutes to go in the set. lol

Sending extra units on grabs to max ghosts is a thing, right? Seems like it on trial and error. Any other express specific stuff I might be missing?

wari this thread from a set back might be helpful on the 6 hours question for you:

This is also server details: https://www.earthempires.com/express/serverdetails

Technically you don’t need max tech for the $39, you can do the math by (starting price/target sale price) or $32/$38.5 = 0.8312 (which the Max military tech percentage for a demo is 0.8167). You use $38.5 instead of $39 since you get the benefit of rounding up.

Using that quick math is a good way to set your required military tech percentage given your desired private market sale price.

noob here, teach me everything

Don't you guys hate it when an earthquake destroys 946 buildings?

LOL

Peanuts. :) The ghost of Mehul haunted me in 1a last set. In two weeks my country got FSed by supposedly random earthquakes costing me 30k+ buildings in total. The biggest ones were 5k(twice) and 6250 buildings once. :/

Yeah, I see people with 400k acres in 1a last set. LOL. So the bots aren't labeled in 1A, any real reason for that?

I keep hearing about an alpha server. I did the monthly premium thing, is alpha for the lifetime premium people only? or am I old and blind and just not seeing it?

Today I was re-introduced to the fact govt switch costs a lot more than 14% above a specific NW. Now if I could only remember where that was....ha. Love a fascist destock.

From the Wiki:

Switching Governments

If your current government is a Monarchy then there is no penalty for changing to another form.

When changing from any other form of government, there is are losses incurred to your countries resources during the change.

This loss is a percentage of all cash, military, technology and buildings. Starting at 14%, this number increases based on your networth (NW) with the following formula:
pre
NW < 10.5M: 14% losses

12M < NW < 30M: (14+25*(NW-10.5M)/18)% losses
NW > 30M: 39% losses
