2 the primus (#59) 29,127 $24,239,020 CG

Pretty decent for a set where mil prices were low ALL SET LONG! >< Would have been 31kA too, but some tool nuked me w/ 40 seconds left in the set.

Need a higher bpt. Destroy labs and build all ICs. Build all unused land in ICs. Destroy farms, EZ, and Res and build ICs. Needs more Indy tech too.

How about removing Mortgage Interest Deductions? I wonder how much extra income the US Gov't would receive if citizens holding mortgages could no longer deduct their interest payments from their annual income?

I like the idea of a capital gains tax that would deter speculation and encourage investment into the physical economy, but I also like the idea of saving money and stashing it into investments (stocks, bonds, etc) for retirement purposes. That one is a bit of a stickier issue.

In any case, I align myself a little farther left economically than most people. I'm all for a higher % of income (earned and unearned) tax on those who make a higher income per annum.

i would argue this is there was a disadvantage, namely, take out the ability to DR yourself.


Well the main disadvantage I was considering was the loss of buildings/CS during every grab. Sure, landtrading/self-farming generates a pile of land, but countries have to shell out a lot of funds in increased build costs and CS rebuilds to make it worthwhile.

1) I think 16 countries is enough for a ceiling.
2) Don't alter the ability for countries to self-farm/land-trade. They have their advantages and disadvantages as does everything else.
3) A new government could be interesting. Perhaps a customizable one.

I put up ~123m as an all-x last set. Might've been a couple mill higher had I been made aware of the bonuses available to me prior to the set starting.

I finally found out w/ 3 weeks left.

Well.. I want it before I build my final 45 CS. Then I'll buy another ~10k per (160k total.)

After that I bulk, then I'll be requesting another ~450k total tech.

Well, considering if I needed 240k in EACH country, I'd have 1.2b cash already in each. I think it's a little early for that unless you ran a small buyout already or have FAd one of your countries.

My farmers want tech. YOUR TECH.

I need, ballpark, 240k tech points. So I will be buying every Ag tech point I can find under $5,000 until I reach my targets.
