if two different players put the same unit but at different prices at the exact same time, which one is shown to the customer first? the lower priced i assume? what if the lower priced units are placed after the higher priced units? do the higher priced units have to go before the cheaper ones are shown? or are the cheaper priced given priority?

Cheapest first always

cheaper + fifo

What about standing orders?

player who created so 1st gets 1st dips on goodies and then next player etc until its repeated until sos are filled or expired.

private market question - i know the size is determined by land but how long does it take to replenish? is there something that i can do to make it go faster besides spending money on oil?

you get PM when you get a turn. the replenish is calculated on every login, or if you are logged in and acquire a turn. here are some senerios.

If you log out with some PM units, next time you login youll generate units, but also lose units from decay. if you stay logged in, every turn gained youll generate units and lose units at the same time.

if your PM is at 0 from buying out when you log off, when you login youll generate units, and will have no decay. if you are playing turns and you get a new turn, your PM will likely shrink from decay.

How does Country A with a SO of 125$ troops get beat by Country B with a SO of 124$ then?

I hear this can happen which is why I raised the question.

Because country b placed his SO first. If the price is below either of the SO it'll fill whatever one was placed first.

SO don't have absolute priority

A places for 125
B places for 124
C places for 123

units hit at 123 A gets the order if can afford it all or order is filled rest goto B then C

if order is not filled next units to hit at 123 goto B then C

it moves through the orders but first order in line gets first order big or small once it has gone through the queue of orders that have SO higher then unit it goes back to start.

so, i should buyout, logout, log back in, buy, etc

this might be a real obvious question, but where's the logout button? i have never seen one.

no logout button in-country.

yes it is buy out, "log off" (aka close game window), log back few hrs later and buy out and then do something again next few hrs and repeat until set ends and before that burn oil to units and buy those.

k wow well, that's too much work lulz checking on the countries every few hours. for now i just bought oil and converted it. even tho i still spent quite a bit on oil, i was able to break my previous record.

next set, i will make my country fatter :P or stock oil

So in theory if Country A has 200b cash to blow till end of set and placed a SO on troops for let's say $200, I know that's a lot of bank for troops but stay with me.

As long as the country keeps the needed cash to keep the SO alive that country would get every troop till end of set and country B and C just get buried?

This is how I interpret what had been stated here thus far. I also think that this is incorrect from what others have told me in chat and slight personal experience.

Example, Joe Blow has SO on troops for 135, he has mega cash stock. His SO will stand till end of set unless someone uppercuts him, yet I place a SO for 134 with minimal cash stock and still somehow buy my troops for 134 even though Joe Blow still has a SO for 135. How does this happen?

nope, that wont work s/o rotate per sale of item aswell as being filled or running out of money

so say you have a s/o for $200 troops and captian planet does aswell, I sell 2 mil troops for 200, your country buys that but then moves to the end of the s/o line, the the next amount that comes up for sale within your s/o range goes to captian say its 200k for 200 then that order moves to the end of the line

Well, you can buy out on say today, not log in for 3 days, log in, and youll have all the units w/o decay.

mein capitan: you are supposed to have enuf money to empty priv market several times until set ends.

oh no, i think i misunderstood you then lol. I thought i had to be logging more frequently. *slams head on wall*



i dont feel like my country's private market would be enough to spend all the cash i had. Im so new and still learning limits and such.

I appreciate all the info guys :)

log in once a day is enuf during jumping period.

can you or can't you spend all money you get from your stocks into your priv market units depends on your land and stocks and when you started jumping.

ahem, i fa'ed my smallest country so i wouldnt get the "the country is too big" message. The problem with that i realized is the low land, therefore small private market. I will change things next set. I am still extremely happy on breaking my previous 200mil record.

Good job.

Private market replenishment is 3 troops per turn per acre, 2.5 jets per turn per acre, 2.5 turrets per turn per acre, 1 per turn per acre. So, to calculate how much it costs to buy out a turn of your pm, its Land*(3*TroopCost+2.5*JetCost+2.5*TurretCost+TankCost)

Then you divide your stock by that number and you know about how many turns it will take to destock.
