Should I be hitting the cash button like a mad man?

I switched tactics and began land-grabbing. Is that a bad idea?

Oh just admit you like the attention, Pang.

When I go for a mass explore I end up with a lot of cash, a surplus of 300 million. Since I can't buy too much military, what am I supposed to spend it all on?

Making it into the top 100! How do I know when to begin stocking?

Thanks guys! Do I want military tech or weapons tech to counter republic's poor military strength? Or maybe both?

I think it's a cool idea. If one wants to join a warring alliance
then kills might be an additional way to measure an alliance's skill.

Whether or not it all comes down to 'cherry picking' I can't help but to believe that knowing who to pick (i.e. the victim) is half the battle.

Which web browser are you using?

I see way too little Chrono Trigger love in this thread. Also, C&C ftw!

Out of curiosity, can you give some examples? What exactly did you search for that you couldn't find?

Sorry for borrowing this thread, got a question for Rockman (or anybody else who cares to answer):

Do the more difficult/tougher strategies such as oiler or MBR have a bigger pay-off in the end, if played right?

After I joined NA in Alliance my Primary country became somewhat of a live experiment. At the moment I'm ranked #334 (country #815) and, well, this is where I got. Considering this set will be ending soon, I figure I'll be increasing some of my tech and increase my defenses.

What kind of goals should I aim for when I play as a rep casher? How much land do I want, i.e., how do I know what my goals should be?

Anyway, thanks to you all for your help. Much appreciated!

Have to agree with ZOMGBacon. The new(?) bonus system is what got me here.

Hey, looking for a team. I'm an old Earth 2025 player getting back in the game and trying out some new strategies.

I changed my industrial productions to 100% spies, thanks...

I'll be building the unbuilt land as soon as I have turns, but I can't help but feel fat? When I look at other people in my proximity in the "SCORES" list, I have by far the most acres. Having said that, should I focus on getting money for my defenses or should I continue to explore/landgrab and build buildings and get biz and res tech? Or maybe even weapons tech?

Thanks guys, I'll adjust my strategy accordingly.

How important is a good defense (turrets, tanks and troops) versus a good spies per acreage? Because of the -10% in military strength? Is it a valid option to simply set the industrial production to 100% spies and then continue with a weak defense, hoping nobody notices, and spend the money on offense to do landgrabbing instead?

I feel like I'm all over the place. Should I tear down my farms and buy ez and residences instead? I'm also not sure whether or not I should invest in technology, and if I should, should I concentrate on either business or residential and not try buying both at the same time? Or perhaps something completely different?

Thankful for input. It's been a couple of years since I played the game.
