Imagine trying to get one more grab in before 2025, and in your haste you forget to add an extra 0 for the number of jets to send!

Happy new year.

With these oil prices? Doesn’t sound great!

The reverse is almost more painful for these oil prices. I know a few of us have done that in 1a where we PS a bot with an extra 0 and lose a ton of military and oil, especially for commies who can easily send 30-60M jets for no benefit =/

The Acme Corporation is a fictional corporation that features prominently in the Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote animated shorts as a running gag. The company manufactures outlandish products that fail or backfire catastrophically at the worst possible times.

So in the spirit of being transparent… if you are going to retal me just make the damn retal and don’t give me a lecture with threats as all that you are doing is pushing me to ROR.

Be like Tertius and Cathankins (who are currently fighting each) and make your retals on me without provoking me and life is good…

I know it’s been floated before, but any chance adding in missiles into the market place? Say 100m for NM, $75m for CM, and $50m for a EM?

Just add some spice?

It would create an additional incentive to develop missiles during the set and also provide a way at the end to make some cash but also increase capability of other counties that were double tapped to be able to deliver significant payload as a rental - even after spy ops destroy 2 months worth of missile accumulation.

I’d spend 2b on 20 NM if I was looking at a retal.

I don't think it will work very well, as it just adds and extra benefit to stop RoRs/War. since countries getting RoR are generally always among the biggest in the game already, not only do they get to launch missiles first, they also have the funds to buy up a crap ton of missiles, therefore truly decimating the country that RoR them to the point recovery would be impossible. But maybe that is a good thing. With a mechanic like that maybe RoRs would disappear?

One of the issues with adding very expensive missiles to the market is that it makes market aiding and other forms of cheating much easier.

On the old missile market they never cost anything close to that. $10k-$25k.

It all depends on how much people are willing to pay, if they don't put a max sales limit.....hey.....let's see how much are these blood thirsty players are willing to pay, right?

If you’re going to make any changes maybe look into having private market oil?

Same rules as Express? Oil is easy to add from an administrative perspective.

Maybe make PM bushels more affordable too? So I can still play turns if the market is empty? I'm not talking competitively cheap, just like $80-$100 or something so if I'm desperate I can feasibly run turns?

That argument might work if it wasn't for the fact you would never (nor need to) tell a farmer to 'build some indies' if the market is empty, because they can just go to the private market and get them for a reasonable price. The fact that there is a relatively low ceiling for what price you can sell mil on the public market for before its cheaper to get on private, and not the same for bushels has always perplexed me.

Food is easy to change too. If changed it would use the same base food price as Coop ($100). It seems that a lot of servers these days have issues with food.

Cool

Yes it would be nice to have somewhat reasonably priced food available when necessary to play turns

I agree with LB in that the $350ish (whatever it is) food price is too expensive relative to the PM cost of each of the various types of military

PM food is currently very expensive and I think (you know you’re going to have large players buying out markets) it makes sense to adjust the PM food price down a bit
