I've been looking around. Some people are better than I at finding early targets.

I looked for people that had 0 defense and attacked without spying to maximize turns building CS. As a result I gained between 90 and 200 acres per turn, I also failed 3 attacks out of 20. So out of the 40 turns I used to attack I averaged 60 acres per turn.

Looking at #228 he was much more efficient. It hurts to be a commie because you can't keep your NW Low and buy defense after the attacks.

maybe. I think that It would have been better to batch explore to 3800 though.

The biggest issue is I wasted a lot of future targets attacking them when they were 2000 acres. Even though they had 0 defense at the time I now have to live with a lower target population.

My first 20 attacks this set were blind. I only failed 3. At that point I would have been better off exploring if I had to spy. In hindsight I probably was better off exploring anyway (I only averaged a bit more land).

Stryke, thats not going to happen. I have to destock now, and others are going to have to destock in the next few days. So you might as well start selling for $36/$35 because we will never eat through the $37's already on the market.

Those that started selling a few days too soon ruined it for the rest of the server :( At least there should be cheap military available at the end of the set due to all the reselling.

I think somebody big held turns or something because the volume of food sold each day dropped significantly yesterday.

quick, everyone sell your stock while the price is still 36, tomorrow it may be 32.

There must be farmers with decay bonus, that never stopped selling.

A 50k acre country with a 13 day destock should jump >330M...Is that what is happening ?

I agree, and I have said this before. The cash flow for producers is always 1 day behind cashers and it makes things difficult. Especially on servers where you can play a lot of turns at one time like express.

I think it would even be worth making something for purchases on the private market as then you don't have to worry about displaying the SO price. I bet techers would find that very useful to buy defense after sale of tech.

Only in very large mature markets do the SO prices matter. The majority of units shouldn't be priced based on what the SO is at.

I bought it up to 50 originally. but there are spokesman countries with lots of stock that are dumping. Either that or the farmers that should be stocking are now undercutting in a fury to buy the tech that is now dirt cheap.

Im looking for 3 RAs to do a tech start. I can play an indy or casher (I will let you pick). if you are a full set techer I will be teching about 80 turns between turn 300 and 400. After you have teched that much you can drop the pact for a full set techer.

There are a few players that look to have good sets in store (>300M ANW), but in total I would expect the finishes to be down from the past few sets.

It all depends on where food prices end up though. If they are sustained at or above $50 for a week or so it will hurt the cashers and techers.

I can count 5 or 6 groupings that should be > $200M for each country. So I would expect that the top 100 is all >$200M but $400M may get top 10, and $250M may get top 50.

no trying to maximize size of private market. I was able to buy most of my military as troops which are the best NW/$. i got unlucky with tech, but there were turrets <140 stop that helped the destock.

I forgot to cancel my pacts before running my last 330 turns. that cost me $160,000x330. there wasnt cheap tech or food so I just ate corruption costs instead of stocking.

This wasn't a great set for cashers

Tech was a bit more expensive than usual at this point in the set $2650 on average. And I was grabbed 6 times last night for a total loss of 200 acres...that set me back 8 to 10 turns probably.

Only if the production you get will reimburse you for the price difference of where it will be.

For example. $6000 industrial will benefit you $20 per turn.
You expect it to be priced around $3000 in 200 turns.

Well 200 * $20 > $6000-$3000 and therefor it is worth it.

However tech prices tend to drop much faster than that from $6000, and there may very well be a better investment for your money at that time.

But that is the concept.

When do you expect that much tech to be on the market?

Any thoughts on this cash start? I bought more business tech than Residential because it was much cheaper at the time. I am wondering...
1) Is this better than a tech start?
2) Are there any cash starts that are better than this?

I thought I had selected somewhere that my military won't be shown...If anyone grabs me I will retal, it won't be worth it for you.

That is the thought process. As a techer I despise the practice and I only hope that someone buys that 1 pt before anyone sells again. Too many people are too lazy to check what the average prices have been.

FYI the Average prices for the past 24 hours has been between $2800 and $2900. That is a good price point to work with.
