Wow.... 25k separation at 51m+ NW. That is crazy close. Great playing, st0ny.

I sold ~26m @ 36 on my PM. In hindsight, prob could have sold it at 40 but didnt want to gamble too much. I did sell 18m at 63 and another 11m at 53. That definitely helped.

Sorry bout that. I paid a premium for having 80% SDI, 12m turrets, 600k tanks and 1.5m troops on hand from around turn 1350, and tank and troop defence all through of course. Thats OK, just wanted to do it without GDI.

st0ny -- Yeah, you probably had the better techer. I had to realllly play the market today to get to where I finished. If I hadn't, I was 2nd by a mile.

I was going to top feed you when you hit 20k. I had 300 turns and I was going to start grabbing and I bought 4mil Jets. I caught you at the right time and I had you dead to rights. Not sure why I wimped out.

I have no idea at all, I didn't calculate it. If I'd wanted to win, I would have played a demo techer in GDI like I often do. But as you can see, I was able to withstand missiles, and I fended off some spy attacks. It doesn't really matter, what happened is what happened and I had a fun game, and I'm very happy with $40m NW. What a great set for techers,

wow, close one .. looks like the demo ability to stock and play the market w/o commissions is more important than being first to 20k acres.. great playing everyone, my guinea pigs placed in the top 10 so I'm happy,

just found this game in January after 15 years or so from when I played earth 2025.. lots of changes ..

GDI sucks in express.. great job hitting that nw without gdi.. gdi is not fair anymore like it used to be.. now it favors top feeders, you can't hit back with 2 ss or 2 ps or you become a sitting duck basically.. should be able to declare war or something to override gdi. i joined gdi thinking i could leave in a couple days once i was big enough.. thats the way it used to be .. rep casher is not good in express.. ill try techer next set

From what I can gather, unless commie, 20k is kinda the number to hit

Side bar, had I continued teching instead of spending 100 turns building into a casher, how would that have changed things?

never know. you could have finished higher or it could've changed the tech market prices because we already have quite a few techers.

I played behind significantly .. got to turn #99 and then stored max turns.. and continued to play behind until the first land grab against me.. then I had to retal
