It isn't big unless it is above 25k (top 20 in land), that's why I only said 3 big farmers.

And here I was happy to have stocked 50m bushels LOL, food still not going over $50 unless something dramatic happens (like war involving 1 or 2 big farmers)

Mess with me you better kill me, or I'll just take your pride & joy and jack it up

I guess the Indies are waiting for cheap food to appear on the market (and hold turns until then).

And the farmers in turn are waiting for cheap military to appear on the market (and hold turns as well).

It's a deadlock!

I'm surprised food has ended up so expensive, but it must have been all the idiot techers that did it.

Because rigs is allowing him to make twice the amount of dollars per acre over farms. Without the need to invest in any production tech as well, so.... a lot of money.

Agri tech can be all purchased later very cheaply at bargain prices when converting later.

It can't be a 50k oiler, has to be a hybrid. But the rigs have been raking it in all set.

I just thought of something, it would be cruel if the oiler holds oil and 'topfeeds' (aka hits guys closest to him in NW).. no one could retaliate! If we built our own rigs we'd have to save for days to save enough oil..

Don't be silly. With enough SOs that are priced a high enough, such a country would still be able to retal if he gets the limited amounts of oil on the market first.

I'm confused someone near my NW grabbed me for 1331A (1867A) and I hit him back and only get 360A (372A)? His country is #262

You are a "victim" of a game mechanic called Diminishing Returns (DR). Basically, the more attacks a country suffers in the last 72 hours, the less damaging subsequent attacks will be. DR only applies to PS and SS attack types (as in, only the returns of SS and PS will be reduced by DR), but all non-missile attack types will add to DR.

DR decays over time using the standard half-life formula for decay, on Primary this is 18 hours multiplied by the amount of attacking power sent divided by the defenses of that attack (if you sent 110% of his defenses, the halflife is 19.8 hours). Attacks older than 72 hours are ignored.

Attacks made by a country reduce that country's DR in the same manner (same halflife formula). For SS/PS, all attacks reduce DR, for other attack types (BR/AB/GS), only successful attacks reduce DR. Missiles do not affect DR in any way.

Edit: If you are interested in how much less you get, based on the current DR value of a country, browse the Announcements forums for it, the formula was changed maybe 2 months ago so it is a recent Announcement.

Dangg getting GSed a bunch is super advantageous now. The dude was GS'ed a bunch on the 11th and his returns are still this low today.
