Thanx DancingBear. I first played in 1998 and played off & on until around 2002 or 2003. This will be my third full tourney set back. *Hopefully* I'll see you in A next reset but still have to make it through C.

You are so right that they'd have to experienced the multis to know what we're talking about lol! I was actually one of the original members of a group called the multi-killers in Standard A. We were a bunch of self-styled vigilantes who's single goal was to take out as many multis as we could find. Most of us ended up getting our countries deleted by Mehul (who wouldn't do a d*mn thing about the mutlis!) but it was easy to create more back then lol.

The biggest difference I see besides the lack of multis is the bots in some servers and the etiquette between players. There was no "i'll hit you once and you retal once" back then. A single LG could lead to a set-long war between you & your allies and them and their allies. It's a lot tamer now days then it used to be which, in some ways, is nice for someone like myself who plays to see if I can better what I did last set.

Thanks again for the welcome back.

No, I didn't see an option to continue. I figured it was some fluff-headed move I made, but didn't know what. I'll look for it next time. Watch out C lol. Thanks drkprinc.

I finished 2nd in B this last reset. When I create my country for next reset, I see it listed in Game C. This happened to me last reset also but I thought it was because I changed country names, but this time I created the country using the same name?

Doesn't the top 25% of B & C move up to A?

Really? I don't remember it. I was mostly a tournament player back when you had to play lower levels to get to B or C and then get to A and played an occasional standard. Played in the alliance server a reset or two with Omega back when they had the text-based rpg dungeon.

Nope, not macdaddy. Seen a few of his threads. I'm not an idiot, really lol. I used to play back in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Just came across Earth Empires a month or two ago. I really like the Express and FFA concepts, wish they'd had been around back in the day.

no that would ruin the private market sell price that 1 acre is probably nothing. The 1 acre means he only needs around 45 military tech to get maximum sale price on private.


Exactly correct. It can be anything but MB. As I said, it is ULA currently. If I were to do this again, I would make it something just because I have to drop the "free" 20 acres of land every day and I KNOW that one of these times I'm going to accidentally drop 21 acres instead of only 20 :0 :0 :0

It's actually ULA although it could be anything EXCEPT a MB.

Haven't sold cheap military except for once early in the set, just to test it out. May have to try that though if I want the country to keep growing. I was just playing around and didn't even really intend (or ever think) that it could get this big so I don't even really have a strat or a plan laid out. Just want to see how big I can grow it now.

No, the country has never left protection. It is truly at 1 acre with over 50mil NW. I know I will never win with it, but it's been fun as **** playing it. My only regret is that I didn't have another 3 or so billion before I had to jump. I saw it done years ago when I used to play.

If you want to join NAB you are welcome. I only created it so I didn't get hit 20 times a day while I try out crazy strats. Our only rule is no fighting unless you are attacked. Message me if interested.
