To get you started: Best case, you can sell 45% of your military every 2.25-2.75 hours so you would maximize income if your PM regeneration rate was over 2.42-2.96% of your military's dollar value. Doing your final private market buyout and the increasing value of your military with each sale would also need to be factored in which is why I say higher than those percentages.

to be honest, jj. its not all about income. it's about networth gain in relation to income.

Definitely more land... I switched to full mbr on morning of last day. i was only able to resel 1bil cash worth of goods in that time because i had loads of bushels and tech to sell(tech = more dpnw than mili) and my pm didnt replenish fast enough to resell again.

I could have kept tech and just resold mili, but the nw lost in the mili compared to tech wasn't worth it. considering tech is kind of 'all profit' making a minimum of 1k a point is a lot better than its nw equiv of tanks at just under 300 profit...

That said, i have some theories i want to test this set. so i'll discuss further after :-)

I think a successful MBR in Express would need to be a lot bigger than 11k acres, would need goods to sell immediately upon hitting the market, and would be to re-buy and re-list ASAP. At 15 turns/hour, a little over 2 hours is nearly a full day on other servers. Considering that, MBR should be most successful during the last 12-24 hours of the set. My gut tells me that 18-20k acres would be really nice for MBR. The extra cost to rebuild should be much less than what will be gained by income allowed by the increased regen rate.

biggest problem with techer on this server is setting up and maintaining a strong tech circle.

Also, its easy for a techer to outperform a techer... Especially when they have a leech or two.

also feel like farmer without tech is one of the lowest producing strats.. esp since u can go well over 200pct with tech... and if you have any kind of land, u get raped.


depends. in express ive never really done well with it, got a top 10 but that was months ago when 9-10mil got you t10. in 1a or ffa i do a mon techer phase. in team/express ive gotten better results buying tech along the way and mass exploring. although i havent tried it since the new GDI because i used to get raped with an F farmer in express untill i could afford some good defense.

i think someone with more time then me and 3 good tech allies could really do some work with TMBR. i played it kinda sloppy with only 1 ally who actually did any teching, the other i let leach and i averaged 6k land all set (half set under 6k the other half at 6800) and i finished 11.5m. i was on track to do much better but my land just killed me. i ended up having to spend the last 300mil on public because my private just didnt refill fast enough.
