We are all garbage, there is always someone better at playing.

I'm sure a lot are admiring that 90+k casher in monsters. I sure as hell wish i had that land or the other 10-15 countries that look better then mine. But for scrubs like me it feels really far away to get that rank 1 title. There are so many more better players around and with sof adding 50 more to the game it won't get easier.
There's people with more top 10 endings than I have top 100 :-( Atleast there is another reset to try and do it better.

I really thought I was doing really awesome and ahead of everyone in a lot of land. Then I started to check the different tags and saw I was behind 10+k and its been growing daily. I'm 1/4th behind the best in LaF.


Wait a sec!? that monsters guy is a casher? I assumed it was Techer? how does that work then as Theo?

This ^^^ super hard to keep low NW on big acres and keep tech efficient, whilst also having enough jet to get 5 decent PS off each day.

50k land is 3,5m NW
5 x 1.5m jet PS => 4,5m NW
1-2m tech => 2-4m NW
10 SPAL = 0,5m NW

Thats 10,5 - 12,5m NW right off the bat, bots are only 3-5m NW range, so grabbing is already compromised due to NW differences.... adding a stack of defence just makes it even worse... that top guy is already over 80k acres... so unsurprising they are already carrying so much NW, don't expect much of that is defense!

I suppose that depends whether or not all the bots on all the servers run from the same codebase. If it does, that would mean switching mid set in 1a which isn't great, though they have done it before, much gnashing of teeth followed so not sure they would do it again.

If thats the case, expect huge tech demand again!

there already is one, eestats.

That doesnt display DR, it only shows how many successful hits on them last 24 hours. Doesnt account for half-lives, hits out, type of hit or def helds. So while it can give somewhat of a hint its not an accurate repressentation of what the DR actually is.

But either way Celphi is fooling himself if he believes the best grabbers now wont still be the best grabbers when his tool is completed. And yet even more if he believes grabbing is the only determinant of who does well.


Yeah ok I take your point its not literally DR. It give you everything you need to be able to eyeball it, and if people can't do that... :)

thats incredibly naive. getting 70m NW doesn't just magically happen because you have good tech prices... and given everyone started the set not realising that the old bot rules were in play, then I dont think anybody was playing the optimal strat out of the gate.

People who chose toucher got lucky, but there was still some on the fly adaptation that had to be made.

he also for no reason doubled the express bots and while it was suggested that 1a needed 50 more bots he added 150 more.

The bots are not the problem, the problem is how they are implemented. also when the bots actually work with the current up to date code indies can compete with techers, and casher has been improved by it.

Either way you can't any assertion of what the bots do the game when the bot code is wrong, we are not playing with current code, so anything you see this set does not repressent the status quo.


So the one time I *might* win it doesn't count... 'bout right.

“Are you sure?” For common actions like buying goods on private can often prove innefective as it becomes habit and merely delays the oh no until you click yes, rather than buy.
(See eg https://www.nngroup.com/...cles/confirmation-dialog/)

The psychology is only once the action is confirmed /finalised does the brain have the “oops” moment.

A better pattern here is an Undo option immediately after submit e.g “you purchased x for y [undo]” which is explicitly where you see the error.

At this point in the backend the tx has not “settled” so you don’t actually have the goods, choosing undo cancels the pending tx, any other action settles it.

All of which is lovely, but who’s got time/inclination to implement that! ;)
