imo the dnh is common sense. Hitting someone 1/4th your size and keep the land, then be retalled. And anyone in the top 40(well, right now the t100) or so can easily retal anyone in the game. Both last set and this set I followed the top indies(this set is quarantine, james craig and serp) pretty regularly and I haven't found that they try to grab anyone or any strat in particular or exclusively, I know that I sure don't(though I prefer to grab commies and dislike grabbing theos). They're just grabbing the most land they can for the fewest jets.

Techer will be strong this set, but I agree with you that they're unlikely to win. Even if Bibi were in gdi he'd have a tough gig. A 12k techer and a 20k indy will probably have the same income right now(around 11m/turn each) but the techer needs to tech to get that revenue whereas the indy can spend all turns grabbing and building.

the techer's main benefit is that he is a very poor grabbing target.

For clarity: By t15ish I meant the 15 people who will finish in the top 15/20 and do set after set, not the current t15.

How many of the top 15 know who the others are in the question?

I know my two allies and Xinhuan. I also know Serp and Andrew because they're playing their regular country names. That's about it I guess. Oh and I figured out herbs since he's also using a name theme lately.

We will have 100m countries this set for sure. Just perhaps no monster record setting countries. But also a very good and smart demo can really do well in this economy. And I think if anything we should have a big demo or two at the top this set.

Edit spelling mistakes.

Nope, muffin was just a random dude who blew his load to Retal, then got farmed cause he had nothin left. Then he went on a rant in game because I played a country in SoF last round... Well until I realized I had no time to play and quit.

60 days * (48+6) turns a day = 3240 turns.

Give or take a bit, depending on how many +6 login bonuses you get.

It is always 60 days.

Don't think so. Mine were at 153 and that seems like the max price sold for a while. In the last 4 hours jets spiked again tho, but I'd already recalled (and sold at lower price bah)

Price is only half of the equation of Total Revenue (TR=P*Q). You also have to look at the quantity sold. Just because you sell something for cheaper doesn't mean you are making less money. At a cheaper price, more of it will be demanded, and if demand is elastic, then you will increase revenue by selling more quantity.

You probably cant increase the quantity produced too much in the short run because you need to grab more land and build up on it first, or purchase a good bit of tech. However if you notice that all of your goods are not selling each day, keeping them at the higher price may not make you as much revenue as if you were to lower the price a little and be able to sell all that was put up.

You hear that commies? Wise words. It's probably about time to start selling for $100. A lot more will sell and you will increase your profits.
