can you elaborate here?

From the alliance info page:
"This alliance is beneficial to technology-intensive countries. Each time one member engages in technological research, others will acquire 10% of this knowledge. This alliance also requires 0.15% of your networth in support costs. Note that the amount of technology you receive is also dependent upon your own tech levels."

I think it might be this:

"* Research allies provide 40% the typical benefit to allied countries that have less than 20% of the TPT of the techer."

That could be a good starting point for alliance leaders to then confirm? I know there were a few examples where tags were stolen / tweaked, which wouldn't be obvious with that query, even if you look at counts (iLaF, paradime / PDM / paradigm, etc).

yeah, leaders would have to confirm but I think most stolen tags might stand out for review if you have 2+ tags in the same reset with more than 3 countries.

There will of course be a few other exceptions to be reviewed (ie. recent laf jumping/splitting into 5+ tags to avoid war with clan gdi updates, etc)

If you can query the master ranks file, we might be able to pull the info like this:

select distinct serverid, resetid, tag, count(*) from alliance_ranks where tag like '%sol%' group by tag having count(tag) > 3;

+----------+---------+---------+----------+
| serverid | resetid | tag | count(*) |
+----------+---------+---------+----------+
| 9 | 5089 | SOL | 19 |
| 9 | 3851 | SOLove | 28 |
| 9 | 4877 | SoLxTTM | 12 |
+----------+---------+---------+----------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

select distinct serverid, resetid, tag, count(*) from alliance_ranks where tag like '%evo%' group by tag having count(tag) > 3;

+----------+---------+---------+----------+
| serverid | resetid | tag | count(*) |
+----------+---------+---------+----------+
| 9 | 3851 | Evo | 7 |
| 9 | 5089 | EvoDuff | 7 |
+----------+---------+---------+----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

I also really like Rasp's idea of changing the bot mix randomly every set, doesn't require actual changes to programming to change the meta every set. The "seasons" are how Blizzard made Diablo 3 keep insane popularity for a decade, it's obviously a winning formula.

Hell, it doesn't even have to be set where it's predictable:
Set 1: Commie bots reduced, Set 2: Commie bots reset, Casher bots reduced, Set 3: Casher bots reset, Farmer bots reduced, etc

Instead, if it was randomized, that would be even better.

Done with cardiologist appointment, all looks good, she added a new med and increased dose of one of my current meds, the new one is to begin the healing process on the damaged areas of the heart, once we get max dose we do that for couple months then do another heart evaluation to see how it responded, hopefully after that we go back to only 3 pills, the goal is to repair some of the damage caused by the chemos.

Day after tomorrow I see my oncologist :-)

Best of luck dude. Keep up the fight.

Probably just a "first reset" thing, but it seems like there should be fewer c/i bots for market purposes. If a techer or farmer doesn't win with these prices it's because all the techers and farmers sucked.

The search feature continues to be awesome.

Personally, with how many turns acountry can hold at once, I'd like to see them roll in a little faster but YMMV.

Thanks again for trying to continuously improve the game here.

fewer CI :)

Simple buffs to specific strats each set to change the status quo/meta.
Each set the buffs would reset and a different strat would receive a buff. This could rotate every 6 sets or something.

Or if creating buffs to each strat is too complex (undoubtedly), the easier solution would be to add or subtract bots of the strats you are trying to buff/nerf each set. For example, reduce the amount of commies next set so CI receives a buff, and so forth. The addition would rotate each set (thinking odd and even set numbers).

I've been noticing points not immediately adding after voting too (just confirmed behavior in Alliance). Thanks for the clarification that All but Primary are affected by the change.

Something to consider is using the "Time on Market" setting if there's uncertainty about whether or not your jets will sell. You can arrange it so your jets return automatically if they don't sell without having to do a market recall.

I'll try this and see how it pans out. Thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe make it so they can put 98% of their goods on market? Or some higher amount.

I ran into a situation today where I grabbed a few NPCs but lost so many jets, I was under the threshold to be able to put more jets out on market. I do have 2 batches that have not sold yet (from yesterday lol).

I guess we can wait and see how the market auto corrects. I think we have more commies pumping out jets than I anticipated.

Search should maybe default to NPCs in low DR or highest projected gains?

Or the normal scores list (sorted by net worth around your country) with a quick button to search/sort by NPC / DR
