Is cashing the only strategy that works now that there's ample bots to farm and it's obvious which countries they are ñ

Farmer and selling food on PM for $37 works in getting you a top 5 spot easy

The easiest strats to win Express is probably Fasc Farmer (sell food on PM the entire set, and you can do it for $38 actually, so isn't really market dependent), and Commie Indy (price at whatever allows you to sell immediately).

Then you probably have techer (theo or tyr), but very market dependent on how hard tech prices spike/crash.

Casher is probably the weakest of the lot in Express, owing to it being rather difficult to stock food as a casher, but probably the most straight forward strategy to play if you just eat corruption.

agreed with NiteIL

I love casher. Get fat and it's 40m+ each set, easy.

But it won't do the 60m+ that often is needed to win.

Ok, seeing how casher is a useful strategy in express. Why would anyone sell food on the pubic market below $35?

The same reason tyrannies use all of their turns doing 10 acre grabs on bots in maximum DR

Not the full 60 but if I don’t run out of time to get my stocked turns maybe 55+ mil ? I think 70+ is possible on a good set.

That's a lot of hungry tanks...hehe

Private market destock

I'd prefer if you postpone posting status until after the round ended. But I assume it doesn't matter in this case.

It's his country....his choice...his risk.

But now I don’t need to use a turn to spy him. Rules violation!

Better delete this guy!

I got ya

Hey goofball!

What?

Perhaps I'll do a lazy casher this set.

Little closer
