my plan this reset was to do a communist indy with all the stuff that people told me to do at the beginning of the reset, which is get a lot tech as early as possible, and use the profits to get more tech, but i used up my first 100 turns to build cs and then worse yet, i didn't have any money to build industrial complexes so i used even more turns to build CSes to get money (from my 100 farms) to build industrial complexes until i reached 20000 turrets

now, i am sitting at 140 CS and only now do i have enough money to build as many industrial complexes as i want.

well, my intention is to explore to 1900, build industrial complexes all the way, keep making money by selling my turrets on market to buy industrial tech, and make another 60 CSes (and buy more industrial tech) and then batch explore to 3800, build it up with Industrial complexes, and batch explore, and repeat, while buying industrial tech as i can

am i doing this right?

One mistake that’s easy to make and is the most common one I see is building construction sites too fast too early. When you do this, your building costs are so high from growing so fast, that you don’t have enough $$$$ left for military or tech. Somewhere you come up short. Try building your CS up slower in the future. This helps raise production available for you to spend on building and tech.

If you Already are in a spot where you are having issues with $$$, just build 10 CS or cash 10 turns and sell those turrets you produce on the market. It will even out. It’s fine to take a day to cash turns or build CS and pump your tech levels or defense if you are feeling too low on tech or cash or defense.

Another method of getting around this is to simply do a tech start. Start as a communist techer. Tech a bunch of Indy tech and then convert to Indy. It works very well from what I see.

This style will allow you to build your CS early too. Since you have high tech levels early it evens out.

Doing a pure Indy start or cash start though I have ran into the same problem with building too many CS too fast and it resulting in low funds available.

Some of the big country that don’t tech start only run like 35-40 bpt even on primary server so you would be surprised at how little you need.

Yes communist industrialists particularly benefit from getting multiple market sales over small amounts of turns played. So if you sell max goods, log in when they're sold, play a small number of turns (10 or so) then sell max again, you'll be in much better shape.

ETA - the above advice from Cat is good too.

will i reach 35 million NW with my current strategy?

i tried at tech start last reset. i reached 29 million NW, whereas i reached 32 million NW the reset before that using a normal build 260 CS and then start batch exploring strategy

i am also already doing exactly the 20 turns and then sell and then 20 turns and sell, in an attempt to tech faster

Yes, you can reach $35M, but it's hard as an all explore. Market prices play a role too. I don't normally build past 200 CS though.

thanks a lot

i am so fluffed. all the communists are so fluffed. no one is buying turrets or jets anymore this round. it was a big mistake to go indy

think the problem is we are trying to undercut each other and end up selling for way less than we should, but yea this set appears to maybe be cooked for communist, we will see

how else do i sell my stuff? i have to undercut all the other commies
