Dear Diary,

Remember to keep enough cash on hand to finish out turns. Hopefully my stuff sells on the market soon.

Should I hold off buying milt tech until after I make the swapout? To clarify Rep --> Mon --> Theo

Thanks for the help. I'll probably give the republic casher the nod this time around.

Is there enough time in express to properly convert to MBR close to the end? Even so, would it beat out straight cashing?

Sounds like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i3X8RM1tLo

I never thought a tyr casher could be viable with that income penalty. Seems counter intuitive, you'd have to play it pretty aggressive and get grabby. So in order of results you'd put it 1) republic 2)demo 3)???
So your saying theo casher might not be the best way for a nub casher to learn it.

Seems like war....

is in season.

So it is viable. Obviously, there will be some differences in the intricacies but it is viable.

Sounds good. I think I can manage that. Could you play it as a Theo or would it be better to do it as a Republic for a noob to the strat type.

I've never run casher before so help would be appreciated. I'm going to be giving her a test drive on express this time to see how I like it. 50/50 Bus/Res with some indust for spies. PCI Booms bonus while cashing or should I be looking for more turns? Buy low sell high? Republic? Thanks for the help.

That is clearly good information to know. Not sure if he was planning on hitting me anyways for the double tap on the 18th. He did have a failed spy attempt. Probably should have left well enough alone but I wanted to be sure I got out in front of it just in case. Plus not gonna lie, it was a greedy grab today.
Shining what?

Dang, so what your telling me is. I can bottom feed targets lower than 50% of my NW and still be in GDI. Also, this means I can only hit them once in the entire set? Otherwise I risk a major retal?

I calculated it up and you were able to inflict about 2.2M worth of networth damage on me in the form of lost turns and resources. OUCHIES.

Yeah that is correct which would make bottom feeding harder if I was in GDI. Have the GDI ranges been adjusted at all?

I decided I let it ride. Won't be coming at ya. Hopefully "prays" that you won't come at me anymore bro.

Well when considering "multi-tapping" would it be better to spread the hits out a day and that be fine for most people? Or is that still considered a multi-hit? The target pool is a lot more limited than it was back then and as a tyranny we need to take adv of our single turn striking abilities, especially early, if we want a good finish.

So the consensus is GDI is a must. Will remember that going forward. Would you take the GDI bonus in express or still pickup turns? (I'm assuming no) I'm a techer since that probably has relevance on the answer.

I multi-tapped on the 18th when he was much weaker. Single tapped him today. Any etiquette advice is appreciated. I just figured in express that the retal timer has to adjust to the faster pace of action. I totally get retal on retal. Or sending a missle or two back to let the person know hey, cut that fluff out or I'ma nosedive ya.

Well in Earth2025 you never had to join GDI to net if you were ready for it (at least I don't remember ever having to). At least in Primary, I can't remember if old express allowed allies or not. For sure, this is the first dust-up I've had since I was back. I was partially ready and it was a nice cat/mouse trying to block as much of that dmg as I could.

Now here is the key question. Do I have to go at you to neutralize a future threat or has justice been served? In this instance, I find almost no reason to not farm the crap out of you to keep myself from getting gutted as I try to climb; or, I let it slide and figure he's gotten it out of his system which would mean I "might" be left in peace as I continue to push up.

Either way, I came back for fun. Sometimes you have good runs where you don't get nuked down, sometimes you don't. That's part of any wartype game. Good luck to your future countries.

Props wOOt. Haven't played in a decade. I guess the rules of engagement have changed. At least I was partially ready for it.

I played peekaboo for funzies. So your saying if I tap you now I'd get the full wrath too XD.

I put in the number to buy them all. I was like ooooo gimme.

Dang you. I bought the other half of those turrets.

For real.

Dudes you need to feed me some moar troops. I need some miltz. I may have to start cracking my milt tech and byob.

O' really? This is what happens when you don't play in over a decade. XD Like I said listen to the people that have been here the longest. :)

Dear Diary,

After selling Ag tech for nice coin, I turned around and bought the farmers food for cheap. His production must have mysteriously improved.

Depends on what strat you want to end up using. If your totally new, I'd recommend doing a balance of 4/1 cs to industry. So to start you would be 4 cs, then your first set of indust buildings, 4 cs, next set of indust, and continuing until half your land is filled. Then explore one turn. Continue this 4/1 ratio with exploring one turn at every 50% land filled mark. You may want to build a couple of farms to support yourself. Set all production to spys and sell those each turn as well, up until turn 75 or so. At 75 you'll want to decide where your headed in game. Aggressive attacker/heavy defender/balanced/selective striker with limited defense. At 99 you must STOP!!!! This is my first set back in over a decade so other guys here are more knowledgeable than myself. I like to stop at 99 and build up a full load of 80 turns and about 60 banked turns. Then you can blow your turn load on that based on how you see the score sheets lining up. Usually the first 300 turns for me around boring as I have about 200 or so CS built at that point.

Ag OTW Unloaded a good bit of res/bus for you greedy cashers. XD

Tech incoming for you all XP

No techers? WTF is the military to buy.

Dear Diary,

Must start researching agriculture after I'm satisfied with my MS&W. I don't know I feel like I might see.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I had this exact same question running through my head. I think I may have gone to heavy with CS early in the set. Well see if I can leapfrog with it later. Just trying to shake off some of this rust.

Still looking for another intel slot and possibly a defensive spot.

Sounds dangerous. Hey guy, I don't have a 2 D allies. Please attack me.

One spot open for a d and intel ally.

Well someone could have nicely pointed out. Ingame Alliances
Ingame alliances are not permitted.

I don't remember this being the case in old earth 2025.

Looking allies this coming set. Will be going Tech.

Probably so. Old school earth would have been no problem to fill.

Still looking for techer allies. Wsp me so we can work it out.

Still looking for tech allies. I have defensive slot available as well.

I'm looing for a techer this cycle. Played old school 2025. Trying to get that nostalgia going.
