Casher goes expenses pretty much all the way to 40% for sure.

Questions for you experienced techers out there...

-Do I set a land goal? If yes, what would be a goldilocks acreage range?

-If I continue grabbing past 25k mark, how many turns a day should I spend on grabbing and building? (My BPT is 65)

-Should I stay techer all the way till end or drop land and convert to mb to buy from my private?

My end game is where I struggle a lot, last set I should have easily made it past 100m NW and didn't because of stupid mistakes made during a few logins where I rushed myself instead of taking the proper time :-(

All advice will be appreciated, thank you!

I dont claim to be an expert for a primary techer but the benchmarks you should try to hit are:

- 30k acres with 30 days left in the set
- You will need around 90 - 100bpt to maximize turns for that, so 65 is way too low, and you will need to adjust your max land downwards and star stocking earlier now because of that

Those work well for a demo, but a theo in your current situation - my suggestion is stop grabbing at around 30 days left in the set, time your stocking and destocking wisely as food is going to be expensive this set.

Demo hands down. You could play a Tyr but then convert into a demo before stocking.
I think Theo is the worst option in Primary tbh - converting and rebuilding with a low bpt doesnt work, and stocking as a Theo incurs high losses.

With the game being as long as it is, the investment in bpt early as a demo pays off

Tyranny, Theocracy, Or Democracy for full round techer?

R.

I like demo best, but alot still go theo. Tyr is good for war or for your grabbing phase before switching to demo. I think we need another techer actually.

You ruined my set LB! Too many farmers this time around :p

Such a disappointing set for food prices.

Great play Tmac as usual.

I’m think I’m going Rep Casher next set, so I fully expect food to be expensive! I so wanna play farmer again - but not sure I can bring myself to play it 3 sets in a row.

The bridesmaid again for the 2nd set in a row :(
Brilliant play by Tmac

I did enjoy playing a farmer though - minus some really dumb mistakes could have easily broken 150m. Farmer rocks

Whats everyone playing next set? I think im going to stick to farming

I put quite a bit of effort in last set, and was doing very well until you decided to play the way you did. That was many hours wasted, and makes me hesitant to play Express. I’m not sure what you got out of ruining other players sets - it certainly didn’t seem like going for the land record.

I do hope this doesn’t repeat, as it’s one of those things that turn players off this game (for me at least personally)

Yup, will you be farming as well or are you going to be trying something else this set?

Doh!

I also won't be first. I needed to destock earlier. Selling 100s of millions of bushels on the public market is tough here! Sold over 100m on my pm =(

Looks like the 2 reps take 1 and 2 then!

I think Rob will fail his jump in order for his prediction to be better.

I made the jump, and fell a little short! Congrats Gerdler on the win!

Military prices were really good this set, but good land targets were non-existent by the time i really started playing.
The DRs seem to be worse than ever this set.

I messed up the commie so bad last set - i overslept and woke up with no food on the market to run my turns till the end. It feels painful to run a commie again after the effort, but i shall.

Commie here.

Ill buy your tech, but you need to buy my military first for me to be able to afford it.
At this point, cashers are having a good time with cheap tech and military

But its really early days now, the market will likely change soon

Of course you can, but its inefficient to do so. If you want to optimize your output and networth, its not a good idea to mix buildings that dont support your strat.

Well played Techer Gerdler.

This may have been my first proper finish as a CI i think. Definitely a lot of improvements left to be made on my part as i was learning through the set. Buying oil off p.m most set really didn't help and i should have probably got more tech early on as well.

I'm going to stick with it for a while till i get the hang of playing it.

It's funny also because it seems like yesterday the fluffs kept telling the good players on this server that all they could play was techer, and now its basically the same players all still better than the rest but on different strategies.

Sounds like you're not playing commie indy this time then?

I'll try it then. I'm a fluffe commie player, but i'll give it a go
