I'm not sure if it forces rainbows. But the 6%/10% savings of the internal market make it much more attractive to netgain as a team.

You would absolutely still need the Public and Private markets as well. So oiler is still a valid strategy (as valid as it is now).

This is what I have traditionally done. However I was reconsidering based on the cost of waisting a turn to sell on public. Essentially every turn you waste whle growing costs you a full turn stocking

I think it is possible, but nobody has bettered $272ANW in the past few sets. I think a few will finish above $300M ANW this set (not sure if they will have a top 10 though). After that is achieved the next milestone should be a $5B TNW set

I was wondering at what point it is best for a C/I to stop selling on private market and start selling on the public market.

I realize it depends on how many turns are being played each day, and it could be very different for express.

It would be very easy, but the goal should be total team NW. Fixing the team market so that your techer is selling at 4k the whole set would just slow down the rest of the team.

Originally posted by Marshal:

so each would need to have 1 techer, 1 farmer, 1 oiler and 1 indy or 4 double strat countries.

I'm not sure that would be best. My instinct says there should be 2 cashers, 1 techers, 1 C/I, 1 Farmer. Another setup may put 3 techers, 2 cashers to maximize the research alliance. The techers would be able to sell techs, troops and tanks internally and everything else would be bought with the 6% comission

I don't play this server because it is basically run by large alliances. One way to change things up is to create a team market. This is only available to the 4 other players in your team and units/tech can be bought or sold with 0% commission.

This would add a whole new level of teamwork and strategy. It would be hard to create an efficient market between 5 people, so there should still be access to the public market. But for those teams that could balance their internal market best, they will have a large advantage.

There will be more than 6 pan > 350M. So I think we need to revise the top 25 or top 50 up a bit. Anyone who ran a land trading techer should be > 300M this set. On the other hand cashers and farmers may be hard pressed to break 250M. So the top 100 looks like it is accurate to me.

if your interested in the numbers. As pointed out techer is best in most market conditions. Casher is slightly higher than farmer throughout the set, but a farmer has the advantage of waiting until the best possible time to sell food while stocking. And a farmer goes through the market fewere times, i.e. less lost to commission.

I guess the idea is to make sure that you are getting max population growth per turn, but trying to keep the population close to max population. I tried it in alliance, and it seemed to work well. I end up making more per turn at 99, but I have less overall cash.

sell the 100 troops that you get before you play your first turn.

Also in express an oil start is more efficient than a farm start for a fascist. You will make more $ per turn selling oil on private market than bushels.

That would be an impressive tech start JJ. It looks like to build that many buildings you build most of those 56 cs up front and then all of the ent/res later. In my experience it would be very hard to not constrain your population growth that way. With those buildings you could have 8k or so max population, but I would be hard pressed to have an actual population of more than 5k because it will only grow at 50 or so per turn. PCI can only grow so much per turn too...so there are two constraints there.

Message me with your secret if I am going wrong somewhere.

JJ if you can get to 105-110k by turn 99 then I don't think you have built enough CS's. If I'm wrong please tell me how. My cash start normally ends 99 turns with 72 CS and $30k per turn or in that range.

We may need to separate records from the past 2 sets as they are being done with many more turns.

With that being said the Republic records from before are pretty lousy, still can't believe my 22.6 made the list.

It seems as though many of the techers in A had been set back by war. I was ABed over a single tap as well and I am teching this set. It's a shame, I won't be in the top 10 with this favorable market.

I did the math last set in FFA, I found that build costs were more useful than turns if you were going to be >80k acres. And even at that it no longer is a worthy choice once you have reached 50k.

But I think most of the permanent bonuses should rarely be used.

I agree, with this few players double tapping should be more accepted. Especially if the attacks are spread over time.

It seems as though the market balanced it out rather well in tournament. Rob had the highest tournament NW as a techer without any allies (at least until an increase in bonus turns).

I would expect primary to have a similar change in balance.

the express market can easily be manipulated because of the frequency that items come to market and how many turns of production are sold at a time.

Its harder to manipulate the market on servers where goods take longer to come to market and where there are more players. Either way too many players sell at the current price not at the 6 hour or 12 hour average price.

I'm sure they have dropped because fascists with max decay have sold their stock and techers are converting to MBR's. Will they go back up?

It would depend how far into the set and what server. In reality it is much more about your turrets vs countries with similar land as you. You should not be in the bottom 5-10 of NW/Land ratio.

I have heard ratios like 100:1 but I believe it is much more relative than that.

Does it allways decrease by 4%. I don't have much war experience, but I thought if you send a very small percentage of your forces it only goes down by 1 or 2%. It makes it much harder to kill someone this way.

Standing orders to be executed when funds become available. For example I put tech on sale and want to buy defense once it sells. If you only play once a day then that is a long time to wait before you can buy up defense, especially on express.

It also allows you to wait for the 18 hour bonus.

If this will be abused somehow than maybe its only for private markets. It would make destock smoother for people who can't be on the computer at the end of a set.

I suspect that a C/I all around would be better. Sometimes when tech is so expensive early in the set it is more productive to research it yourself.

Last set a tech start to casher would have been better than a straight casher...but I think a commie is efficient enough out of the gate that it can afford to buy it's tech. Thats just my opinion though.
