I sell on private the entire set, and i try to get to max agri before going for mil tech, unless the differential between agri and mil is very big (e.g. agri at 5k, mil tech at 1.5k).

Depends on your government, and how many relevant buildings you'd grab, but for non-theo/dict, prob 100-110 bpt ballpark (380-420 cs). You'd want to buy as much (income) tech as you can whilst building CS.

I'm nowhere near the best players in this game, but I try!

Go to https://earthempires.com/preferences and change "Game Profile Privacy" to allow other players to see status of your countries (we can't now).

This seems like the problem here. You don't want any other buildings other than farms and CS as a farmer. Whether you buy rigs or not, depend on what you think the market prices for oil will be; if you're Fasc (the easiest gov for Farmer), you prob want to have some rigs for self-use at minimum.

In general, you probably want to start stocking at turn 1500, so aim to get to your target acreage and max income techs by then. CS works best when you build them earlier, balancing need for growing production. Ideally try to get to your target CS by 10-12k acres, and 50-60k by turn 1500 is a respectable land target.

Also worth pointing that Express has different food prices on PM: it's $38 max for all govs except Demo (which is $39 max).

I'm not sure what you think he's getting away with.. he finishes rank ~70 every set.

If he grabbed humans and got the win, that would be getting away with it.

It's a little difficult to run a challenge in this environment now - you're already gimped from playing with a handicap, only to have randos fire salvos at you. If we run something like 0cs or tyr casher, we wouldn't even be able to retal, since we'd be barely able to just play turns. lol

I actually didn't expect holy dorm to be as hard as it was - income was super low, and ate a ton of food!

Ok so there's at least 3-4 of us it seems. Yes you can grab, but you gotta rebuild your land asap when you grab so it's just res (with a small amount of ICs for spies only - you can't use the ICs to produce anything else).

Inspired by our very own Yodaleet.

1. Must be Theo from turn 1, stay Theo to the finish.
2. Must be all Residentials.
3. Allowance of up to 10% ICs (for spies only).
4. Tech start not allowed.
5. As far as possible you should rebuild to be mostly Res (shouldn't be a rainbow).
6. Your tech mix is up to you.

Who's in?

If you are, name your country "Link".

You don't actually need to grab on-strat - that's a requirement only for alliance and coop servers.
For all other servers (including express), strat/building-type doesn't affect gains.

FFO in Primary definitely does the land drop theo MB destock, while Demo farmer tends to destock like a Rep casher.

I think Fasc does have the flexibility of doing an oil destock, which guarantees your endgame somewhat.

Given we do less grabs in primary, the 3 bonus penalty on demo is less painful, and the tech bonus on mstrat/weaps is especially useful. 0% commissions are great for the small discount they are, but rarely does one get good reselling opportunities in primary!

iirc Delphinus went dict farmer many sets in a row at one point?
