I'm making a list...of people that I'll be fluffing up in future sets, cuz karma is a fluff, there's no reason to grab a country under 2000 acres with defenses unless you're just being a fluff, there are far better fatter targets with less defense than mine.

ektar: its not land, its nw/land ratio so if you got more land than those with ~same nw then you are easiest to hit.

What if you have half of the amount of land as everyone else, does it make you hardest to hit?

Fwiw, i am stumblng forward ...

... turns out this is a challenge on many fronts ...

Not least of which, i have no idea how well or poorly i'm doing ... except that i seem to be doing rather better than most of the bots i've hit ... were the bots designed to be such poor players and easy targets? Seems like any monkey could write a better developmental opening - no offense intended to the bot coders as i have zero idea what tools are available ...

I am playing opportunistically, but do have a general sorta plan that informs my choices

Anyone care to comment?

Anyone want to guess at the fiinal winning nw?

Cheers!

Sounds like gerdler is on a plan for 18m ...

My plan will also depend on markets and luck ... but atm, i don't see myself getting to double digits

... but things change ... and i've already been enjoying this as a first rate puzzle

Of course, if there are enough bitter players about, we might be lucky to make 5m ....

Good luck to all and thanks to everyone for getting this challenge started.

Intriguing the different approaches. I was just going to grab like crazy and keep ghosts. Clearly that isn't going to work.

1. ghost returns are abysmal out of gate (linked to units sent, d'oh)
2. you end up too fat and cant drop land.

So I can see I'm going to have to rethink!

I would have no idea what to do with all the extra turns building 0 CS. I regularly have over 100 bpt in express just building CSs trying to not overflow turns lol.

Just shut up and have another beer

You should try attacking the other people competing to give yourself an advantage.

I hate to be the elephant in the room...

How exactly do you enforce 0 CS? I mean what stops a player from building them then destroying them?

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

doesnt matter... I will beat most who build CS too.

ppl spy each others, I have been spied and I have spied several of the 0csers... if they build cs and destroy them at the end of their batch of turns the benefit is marginal.
