Topfeeding is hitting people at the top. It was more of a thing before they changed the rules to where a grab can never be more than 10% of your land.

Before I could build a 5k acre techer and stock 2b cash, max weaps, and max mil strat. I could easily break anyone with that setup and "topfeed" a top guy. If they had 40k acres I would prob get something like 5500a(8000a) which would nearly triple my acreage. Now in that same scenario the 5k acre country could only get a max of 500 acres plus ghost in one hit.

But the bigger country had to follow the rules of humanitarians so why should the smaller country not have to? In your suggestion you want special rules for the small country to get free hits on the bigger one.

If farming someone for 2k acres and avoiding retals is too easy why don't you do it?

I'm only pointing out the obvious flaws here. Don't hate me =P

Is your suggestion to allow smaller countries special rules to ignore humanitarians or to allow everyone to ignore humanitarians after x amount of attacks?

Mbs do depend on % of land built as mbs. The higher the %, the lower your pm prices(including lower sale prices on pm).

Labs also depend on % of land built as labs so you want to stay mostly Labs as well.

Ent zones are the only other building that depend on % of land built as them. The difference here is that casher is the only strat you need them which require Residentials as well for best incomes.

In general you want to strategize regardless of building because you pick a govt with that bonus and invest in that tech.

Rep/theo casher(ent/res buildings/bus/res tech)
Commie indy(indies/indy tech)
Theo/demo techer(labs/best selling techs)
Theo/demo mbr(mbs/military tech)
Fascist/demo farmer(farms/agri tech)
Fascist oiler or Fascist farmer oiler(ffo)(agri tech for farms and no tech for rigs)

Bus/res/mil tech is helpful for all strats, but get your primary tech first.

Indies are the only way to get spies so you need some for any strat if you want spies.

Other techs are helpful, but not specifically needed for a strategy.

Dictatorship is a great war govt that can be used with most strats.

Tyranny is also a good war govt and/or good for lots of grabbing.

Tyr cash is prob the worst combo in the game. If you want to cash just stay rep. Theo cash is good too. Demo cash is ok and dict cash is nice for war.

One person from laf messaged me in game about the aid. Said he was annoyed and will I stop? I asked him what was up with dropping our alliance because we didn't do anything to you. He then responds with how he isn't involved in the politics and doesn't know anything about that. He never told me who I was talking to, but I told him that the aid was reps and sol/sof helped kill resist to. You're telling me you sent someone that doesn't know what's going on to work something out with me? I've always dealt with gains or gerdler.

BH has been honest with me in private messages. If you change your mind or aren't sure if you were being manipulated I can't possibly know that. I think it's best to go by what people say directly after an incident instead of months later. My post is only facts. If you think I'm lying about anything or leaving out anything please let the community know.

There's too much to read and figure where to post. It is what it is, but here are evo facts.

Evo was allied to mercs and laf last set.

Mercs and their friends decided to hit laf. Why? I dunno, prob because they don't like them. We kept to ourselves and net like every other set.

Mid set laf breaks the alliance by doing a bunch of harmful ops on me. I ask gains to respect the unap and the ops stop. I don't tell anyone(even evo).

Later in the set resist hits evo, but not me. BH tells me that he felt laf was trying to manipulate him and that they seemed to want me hit so bad that he refused to show them he's not their puppet.

I ask mercs to kill resist in defense of evo. Mercs and company kill resist.

Gerdler messages me after the set to tell me they're canceling our alliance. He says they think we might've sent them at laf so they can't net.

Early this set mercs and company ask us to repay them for killing resist. Laf isn't our ally now so I agree to pay them back with fa.

Laf gets their excuse to kill evo.

There were 30 countries in game A the Tournament server.

Great win gcs, we'll deserved as you've been right there for a while now =)

Gane did have that deer in a headlights look the whole time. It was kind of weird considering he had fought a monster for the title before.

Ha, Japan likes to put on freak show fights that would never get sanctioned in the US. Poor guys like big foot and big daddy are brain dead now, but they'll still offer them a nice paycheck to get KO'd again.

I was hoping to see some stand up because there would've been real danger for Jon. I knew he'd dominate in grappling though. Stipe will be a tougher fight as long as his wrestling keeps him from ending up under Jon.

Yes. Hopefully you're Communism because that's the only govt that gives your indies a bonus to production. Sell lots of military and buy tech/food. Indy tech primarily, and then other techs.

You don't want to go by Jon Jones!

Ippon (一本, lit. "one full point") is the highest score a fighter can achieve in a Japanese martial arts ippon-wazari contest, usually kendo, judo, karate or jujitsu.

Lol

Playing every 18 hours will get you 8 bonus turns a day too. No need to login every 6.

18 hours-6 turns
36 hours-6 more
54 hours-6 more
72 hours-6 more

24 turns in 3 days is 8 each.

There's a lot of helpful people here =)

I only play on my phone too, but if you turn it sideways you can see the post count.

The prob with tanks is that they aren't good at defending against grabs and you can lose a lot if you get farmed. Gdi will protect your missiles and spies, but not your tanks!

Who is good at anything when they first start? Try one of the clan servers where you'll get protection and learn how to play. This is the toughest server.

Yeah, I only like to do 1 hit or 20+!

Gdi is totally different in express/primary. While in your main page of your country in express you should see a gdi link at the bottom. Click it and read the description.

The 18 hour timer is all that matters, and like gerdler said, no need to stay logged out any more. Just keep track of which bonus you're getting because claiming the 3 turns from the 12 hour bonus doesn't matter. Claiming the 3(or 6 if the 12 hour bonus wasn't claimed) from the 18 hour bonus is what resets the 18 hour clock for your next bonus. If you happen to refresh just before the bonus you'll have to wait until the next turn comes to get the bonus.

25 grabs and 4k acres!

I meant the line where you get deleted for possible collusion. It's not crazy to think someone checked the news and jumped in.

You peacefully farmed someone? Come on man, lol.

Tbf, the line has to be drawn somewhere. It sounds like the line is 1 hit. I actually avoided hitting someone that has double tapped me and done several harmful ops because I wasn't sure where the line was and rocky already told everyone he was going to war him because he was farmed. I'm glad I know where the line is now.

The bigger guy can sell military to drop back into your range and then buy up to get out of it. The smaller guy can save cash to stay out of range and avoid getting hit by him then save turns until you're ready to hit. Spend your cash on one military unit which will put you back into range and hopefully(for your sake) you can break him with w/e kind of attack you shoot for. You could also stock missiles while you're out of his range before jumping into range and dumping them.

On tourney you must be within 1/8 to 8x someone's nw to do any attacks/ops. Everyone is in gdi which means you must be within 1/2 to 2x their nw unless you declare war. It also won't let you attack if what you send is nowhere close to being successful.

I took the post more as fluff talking which would make lots posts pointless. Tourney has been pretty quiet lately, it could use a new thread.

There was no crying from anyone. It's early and theo tech is great early. I'll give props if he can finish well so let's check in later =)

80% of the server gets farmed BH. Don't get your hopes up. You fought back decent last set, it's a fun server. I'd use any other server to learn how to net though, ha.

I think rocky means before you run any turns it's better to let some of your 20 acre bonuses add up.

It's a bad strat if you hit good countries because they'll hit ya back. Since game A is small and filled with the best players there aren't many(if any) good targets most of the time.

I don't think grabbing early makes sense here, especially when you're farming past champions, lol. I doubt any of these early grabbers will stay in A.

Good! I hope we have more of your kind this set, ha.

Good job all, and yes, crappy indy set!

I went ahead and sent my missiles a couple minutes before hr shrank so we can't hit each other any more, lol.

Everyone is in protection until you use turn 100.

The higher rank wins.

Oil destock. You drop land and switch to theo so you can be 100% mbs for cheapest pm prices. Sell food for $35 on pm as mono, burn oil on pm as theo.

There were 21 countries in game A the Tournament server.

Andrew snapped my streak! I had a good set, but it wasn't enough. Great looking top 10!

The first one. IC×tech×govt bonus. I think everything is multiplied in this game.

As for how much a base indy produces I don't know exactly. I came up with 1.86 jets or turrets or troops per IC before, but someone else prob knows exactly as well as the tank/spy values.

He must not have known about Cumorah. I would bet Cumorah was happy he broke gdi on him.

Humanitarians won't allow such a move SF =P

Yeah, it's not really worth buying tech at these prices for me. Great set for techers! If tech doesn't sell fast enough for ya'll at these prices I'll still be looking for cheaper tech another few days =)

Where's the tech at fellas?

Good stuff, have fun =)

Yep, both, and readiness.

29 even is base price and it rounds to the nearest dollar. 32 even is base on express. You can figure out how much mil tech you need to reach a certain price like this:
29÷29.5=~.983 or 98.3% mil tech for $30 food
29÷30.5=~.951 or 95.1% mil tech for $31 food
And so on.

$38 is only for express cat. $35 everywhere else. Demo can hit $36 and $39 in express.

Great set everyone =)
