I don't think I'm gonna have a team this set but I'd be willing to help you out. Just maybe let me know what you have in mind. I play in FFA and have landtrading down to a science. And yes, it is a science if you're doing it right.

if you have an active partner, you can do 2 grabs a day. every 12 hours. i'd like to see that happen. you'd probably be able to whatever landgoals you want.

That's not true. There is country:country DR now - land trading works based on ghost acres, not real acres.

Its doable, but rebuilding labs over and over will suck. The real problem might be the fluffty tech prices on team.

Land trading is coordination...

And not worth it anyway in Team server I'd imagine.

why wouldn't it be? if gets nice land and doesn't need to spend too much turns on other than teching then ......

coordination as per trading land, blid, is not expressly, strictly, or dare i suggest even remotely alluded to in regards to what is against rule one on this server.

i have had it outright stated to me that landtrading is, in fact, entirely and one hundred percent tolerated on this server, and partaking in any such play shall be accepted and dare i again say, tolerated.

this being said, i went rep cash all explore, as per, well, any other time :P

because the loss of CS during trades, the rebuilding of what you'd previously spent both turns and money on, etc, so on and so forth, the rebuying of tech you lost, etc, etc, etc..

i have no idea what the turns work out to be, compared to alliance and team, but you'd need to revise entirely how it is you plan to trade.. with whom, and to what acreage.. can it work? i'm positive it can. would i try as a farmer, first? i would.

Dict Farmer if you can manage to build up to at LEAST 50 BPT.

The country:country set long DR makes it not worth it to landtrade after what... 6 hits or so? So you generally need a landtrading ring now to switch partners each day. I know some of you like to swap partners, so it should be fine ;)

you can landtrade with another techer, that would skip rebuilding. but yes, building CS's would be a problem.

second, i've been asking for everything in Team to be shortened, including spy op DR, real DRs, etc. since Team has 10 hour PSes, we should keep bugging qz for it. =P

how long do you spend building cs..
so, at turn 500.. how many CS, how many farms?
at turn one thousand, how many cs, how many farms and how many acres?
after how many trades?

in relation to no trading, no losses, no added gains in return, etc, pure all explore, at turn one thousand who is better off?

this is a dead serious question.. i wouldn't dare attempt the math, heh, as counting proves difficult past three or four digits

i think landtrading is always good. if in doubt, do Theo techer. that way, you got your BPT sorted.

come to think of it, does anyone remember how theo got its govt bonuses, was it thru a series of whines, or was it like it was from the start? having crap tech % naturally made teching the only way to go.. and extra bpt is perfect for landtrading.. but wait.. ghost acres were messed up in the past. =P

Rebuilding CS's is hardly a problem. At 50 BPT as a dict you are only spending 7-10 turns or so rebuilding CS's when you are hitting 5-6 times(I wouldn't bother going past 4 PS, 1 SS or 5 PS). So in the end you are gaining more land than you would exploring those 7-10 turns as well as more than you would by bottom feeding.

50 BPT only?? How much land are you intending to trade to - 10k acres??

I'd think 17-20k would be best, but like braden I try to avoid math when possible

ive seen it posted that it IS coordination in the solo servers, multiple times. therefore, if each tag is a "player" on this server, as has also been said, it would be coordination here as well. if you were doing it within your own tag, it wouldn't be.
