Like when she asks “do I look fat in this dress?” - it’s a trap.

#40 has absolutely no chance of doing well this set. Just calling it early.

I purchases some coins or tokens or credits whatever they are. Anyhow not clicking on fire hydrants or crosswalks or buses anymore was worth it all for that alone. Having the extra bonus point a day is nice also but I tell ya just log in and get the bonuses is fantastic.

I never donated to patron status as of this moment just the premium status. To those who are on the fence at least get the credits and get premium status. It is worth it alone just to not have the bonus captchas to deal with.

I'm too paranoid to buy stuff online,

I'd buy credits if there was an option to just e-transfer the money to an e-mail address with a pre-determined password or something but I don't want to share a credit card # on that online shopping thing

there's more than 26% commies so far this round with the high military prices.. normally with more than 25% commies, military units will eventually go to 100 or so.. hopefully the increasing commies number will eventually bring down the military prices.. but eventually what's most important is not the number of commies, but the quality of commies..

Lots of those are rainbows Or techers don’t forget. Always seem to get lots of those for some reason. You gotta look more at how many top countries are CG as well. The little guys get farmed out or are rainbows, and the non GDIs will war.

I hit one today that was a late start.. only played 400 or so turns so far

He looked like he was running a good country so that grab will likely come back to bite me at some point.. lol

The biggest problem is that land is harder to come by and indies need land. Land is gonna be tough this set and those who did some mass exploring early seem like they will benefit.

Hard to say. When someone uses bonus points on defense I generally don't see them as a threat attacking me later. Also when you have a 600 turn shortfall that hard ground to make up.

I don’t either. I’m gonna have to invest in building cost to make grabbing more affordable.

I'm going to be honest I don't like playing from behind. I won't be doing a tech start again. So far it's really dropped my interest in the game. Sure have a couple retals but I like being top 5 all set. Good experiment I suppose but will not be happening again. Also this farmer strat I commend you all, I fluffing hate it, I will not play it again.

I guess its commie. Casher and techer only for me. Anyhow that's my rant and bonus lol.

I suppose as a farmer it's all about patience and slower play style. That is not my strong suit so this strat is not my style. And I say this as bushells sit at a hardy 45 to 46 dollar price range.

I would imagine last sets lack of price action made that almost impossible to compete for the win. I just realized this as I'm playing it.

Hopefully that helps the tech prices

I might sit on turns for a few days and see if that helps tech prices also :)

Yes, I just would have encouraged him to be a demo farmer over fascist. My reason being I'm purchasing entirely off private as I'm sure some folks also are. Be nice to have cheaper military prices and no commission.

Let's see if we have a repeat of last set. This is exactly how it went. Food was up tech was down a few ppl switched over and boom food straight down and tech straight up.

Based on?

Big farmers are going to rise. There will continue to be military shortages.

This is true. I hope he maxed out military tech before the conversion.

Tech start is better in typical rounds, but in this reset I personally think I'd have preferred a cash start.

Hessman, wait a day or two for the market to adjust before committing, but if you switch, go indy!!!
