Don’t jinx me! I think the accidental hit on you was enough. And that one time I accidentally forgot to switch to PS instead of SS…
I’ve only run out of bushels for one turn this set, and it was like a week ago so I don’t know if that is enough to count as a mess up.

But the real question is, do you build on bonus land in the last week of the set…

Another thing you might not have thought about is someone might buy their own bushels. Last time I ran a demo tech I remember doing that a couple times. Maybe I realized my $75 bushels were next in line after my $70 ones so I just buy all the $70.

Maybe I should have done that with mil when it was under 100....

With super expensive food and dirt cheap mil and tech prices, the main winners are the farmers…. they should win this round…

Good luck!!

Hard to know if you are joking lol but it is open to all i went here: https://www.earthempires.com/alliance/77/ranks
clicked on the icon next to your country and took it from there. I dont even need to be logged in to do this. If you do not want to share you can do so in your settings. Gerdler has for example turned off so nobody can view his country info but his profile is open to view.

You probably know this and I have just wasted a few minutes. I hate the internets

You must be new / returning to primary - there's no 72 hour limit on retals. Many people will (and do) go to war on being able to retal all set. I don't go quite so far myself, but yes, a hit 5 days, a week, sometimes longer, are all standard retals in primary.

Edit: more importantly, if you're breaking GDI on a capable player, you should be prepared for a high possibility of a war, where you will take the brunt of a first strike.

WOW! Thats bonkers! When I see how this game is currently played, its not shocking to see it dying. Even with an ad push it would be difficult to keep new players with the current toxicity. g=(

I swear we have this discussion every set, there is no retal window here, if you hit someone, expect at some point in time, they may retal you. And if you decide to break GDI by RoR that’s on you.

It’s absolutely laughable that you think people being able to retal a hit on them as the reason the game is dying. There’s a lot of reasons why the game is dying, but that ain’t one of them.

Welcome back! Don't break GDI and specialize on one strategy, you'll be fine!

It will most definitely fail... and someone has already broken GDI....

Yeah every set there's a wild bunch that ultimately drop out and don't even finish near top 10, he just got back so that's basic guidance until he gets used to the names and server dynamics, did you get hit multiple times by same person already?

Perhaps….

I still cant believe some people think there is a 48 hour window in primary. There never has and never will be. I will take my retals whenever I please.

They should fill in w/e % you're missing with jets. No reason you should be able to run turns with anything other than 100% production.

Yeah that cost me 5mil finishing nw. I’m actually constantly amazed I even make it in the top 10, I make stupid mistakes all the time haha. It’s not the first time I have done similar, a few sets ago I ran 2 days worth of turns with like only 80% production but didn’t notice.

And I 100% agree. If you forgot to fill it in it should be automatically set to something, I don’t even care what, even if it’s spies like what it starts on at the beginning of the set.

I’m glad as hell RMcCourt went to town on you, someone needed to do it, I would have liked to see Swamp do more as he was the one you relentlessly farmed to get to the top. Now you won’t even finish anywhere near the top 10.

To tac onto what Tmac and Bug said, a few sets ago I ran a Commie Indy Farmer and finished 4th I think? Because of +20% Technology Effectiveness and 10% Market Commissions it made more sense to build my own farms then to pay $70+ for bushels which it was going for most of that set.

That is very cool but I saw an actual rainbow like KoH is talking. I was looking at old Top ten countries when I first came back and was very surprised to see it. I can’t even remember what server it was on though but it was very cool whoever did it. If I find it again I will post the link.

What if you are a techer or casher? Are $70 bushels worth it then?

I dunno, depends on government, but probably. Demo has no market commissions, Theo has -35% tech, Dicts have -30% build rate, Reps cash. Tyranny could maybe build farms.

Seems like there's not too many chefs at the food section.. might be going farmer if no other big veterans going for farmer to balance out the pricing

Also SuperFly. So there is already 5.
