how is it a trick though? Then at least he can't attack Jackelope anymore

Check the wiki, under buildings > research labs.
You can find most things in there.

TechPerTurn=Round(0.17*Labs*(1+Labs/Land)+3,0)

The 0 at the end I think just means how many decimal points it rounds off at.

i think EatMe Again (#115) is fatty
#116 is probably is twin brother.

the numbers fit.

Commies are stupid selling for $120 when the market repeatedly runs out. A rich demo could buy up all that stuff and sell it all for $155, make a few hundred million

Keep me informed on the prices, im waiting for 18 hour bonus

Casher can win with the cheap tech as well.

Okay

Tech is cheap

Why is that the intention?

It's my belief this only shows the turns the target had when they last played.

Is this true? Is that intentional, or is it a bug?

Sometimes in Express it can show a guy with 0 turns and he actually has 200 or something.

Make sure that if you message anyone in game they can't see your forums name and decide if they want to suicide on you.

All in-game really needs IMO is a Sent Box, and some bold or something on new messages, so when you get a couple at once you don't miss one

Yeah Express is a wasteland of suiciders and trolls. Thank God for GDI

Holy cow, this whole site runs this well for like 1000 users off a residential connection? When the game gets laggy does it mean qzjul is downloading porn?

It's funny that you directed him to another forum AFTER I already gave him the answer.

Yes, it's true. Click on the GDI link under your country status and you will see:


The Global Defense Initiative (GDI) is an open organization dedicated to the protection of our members. As a member of GDI, you will receive the protection of GDI forces. No country more than twice your size or less than half your size will be able to go to attack you without first formally declaring war. On this server, GDI protection is free and required.


That's all it does: protect you from people twice your size unless they declare war. I think this makes people multitap MORE, because it means guys can come at you for nothing, or come at you for even a single tap, so you can never play it safe 100% the way you can with the stronger GDIs. Therefore, if you're not safe anyway... double tapping or something doesn't seem so bad.

You might find DR doesn't work as well in Tournament because DR is only 24 hours long. So in Express, 24 hours is 360 turns, but in Tournament it's only, what, 60 turns or so.

Dang, I accepted an alliance from a random guy who offered.

Maybe so, just like your "sent" mail already exists on the server but you can't see it.

But what really baffles me is that the game is sending the ghost acre information out to eestats and earthgraphs, but not making it viewable in its own internal news.

Because I want to read my news later and see how much total I gained in this attack or that one, and the information isn't even available. Maybe someone attacks me, and I retal them, and I want to see what the net gain in land is and who came out more ahead or something. And the data's not there.

I never got used to being without it, I think my game would have suffered permanently

Jackelope are you AAA Hot Pizza?

How come I can't see ghost acres in the news, but I can go to some offsite score page, and it's all there? Shouldn't Earth provide this information in house as well? This means in Tournament, it's impossible even to view ghost acres captured of any old attacks.

it's back!!! :D~~~

The "no double tapping... ever!" thing seems to be kind of unique to Express. Because just looking over trep's set in Primary last round, he double tapped about 20 people. No one even attempted any missiles except a guy he 4x tapped.

lol

Another problem with jetters... if we hit you, and you retal and have 0 turrets... someone might decide they don't like that retal and farm the fluff out of you. There's nothing you can do about it then, you'll just be owned, round spoiled.

Only way it really works is by being abused all round and living in DR. But that's only a strategy in Express.

http://i.imgur.com/QILBU.jpg

It isn't going to work though... not only because of smaller people hitting into you, but because anyone you attack... can just retal?

I bet it's better on a bigger server than on Express. Since techer needs to attack early and explore less, the larger pool of targets will help.

Why is it for defense only? Maybe if it applied to offense also, it wouldn't be so worthless.

Commies win quite frequently, but jetter is not really a winning strategy and never has been.

Crest I'll ally you. Def/int.

Nobody can GS or AB you if you are in the GDI.
I think a good defense is something like 35j/65t or 40/60.

Made 3 PS today

Nice finish for oldman.

What's the pros and cons of a commie tech start vs. going C/I all round? I guess I could still do either one.

Why you gotta quit instead of just going undercover? New name, and then just find random allies in game, and you're protected. I don't want to see fluffers like that guy drive off someone actually interested in playing the game.

I think one player is going to win this set by an incredibly large margin.

I had a guy (fail) retal me in the last hour of the set in a previous round. Thought that was pretty sad.

I can see being annoyed at retals during stocking phase because it's like... what the heck man, you can't even get any return on that land you just took, it won't pay off for you, so why are you doing it? Why so bitter?

With the # of acres and empty acres highlighted, the # of acres explored per turn kind of fades into the background. Would be good to highlight that as well. At first glance I always think my empty acres is how many acres per turn I can explore.

haha Dibs having a meltdown. Blocking a port owns btw.

Haha the asking price on food is $20,000 right now. I'm desperate too but the private market has gotta be cheaper than that. Betting someone meant to ask for 20,000 bushels, haha.

Im guessing your food sold too though because everytime I log in, no food.

Good additions, especially the saving spyops. I'd been copying and pasting them and messaging them to myself.

I liked the simplicity and aesthetics of eestats. I hope it comes back.

Asdl wasn't that fat earlier in the round, though. He grew longer and stocked shorter.

Tech has been strong two sets in a row and I don't see it stopping now. Tech is a good idea.

Nah not #36, several spots worse than him. This was my first primary round ever I think... back in the day I stuck to the Random server.

Tech and oil held back a lot of people I think
