This is an interesting strategy challenge, given the public market for 30 players is gonna be very very shallow. RatZilla is gonna kill it this set!

I'm curious, was this planned or are the bots just broken? There has been a lot of speculation in FFA this past month that the bots aren't doing what they normally do.

Real bot challenge.

Andrew: no.. unplanned. As a mod I am not sure what it is with the bots. I am sure the admins have been looking into it.

This set is fun primarily because it presents a new strategy challenge as no one knows how a 30 country public market would play out, so it seems fresh. (Jury is still out on how this set will end, or if an end game is even possible.) The sheer amount of rainbows early on happened as a lot of people figured it would be a mostly empty public market.

The beauty of bots is that it makes all strats playable/competitive, which is really the changes Slagpit worked hard for early last year with all strats being playable now (vs previously demo techer winning every set).

Right now in this no bot set, it's already evident that many strats are non-competitive, like Rep Casher. Mid set now at these prices look like techers and CIs dominating everyone.

For me, I enjoy Express with bots a lot because all strats are competitive, whereas in the other 2 solo servers, Rep Casher really dominates primary by default (unless prices go crazy), and Tourney is too small a game in 2a (18 players), and farmer is non-competitive there (the other strats are). (I don't touch alliance and have only recently gone back to team, but it seems like FFO is the only competitive strat in 1a, and team is another weird one.)

I'd say I don't mind doing 1 non-bot reset per month, but likely not more than that.

(Not contesting that this first non-bot set in a while isn't fun - I've practically played the most aggressive country right out the gate this set, but if I had to play the same strat every week, it's gonna get stale very fast.)

Second what NiteIL said. I might play 1. But I’d be more apt to play an all X/retaler with no effort. Or just skip it entirely. I haven’t been as aggressive as he has, but I’ve been fairly aggressive and a 5k all X techer outproduces me. What do you do when everyone just decides grabbing isn’t worth it and your retals dry up?

And I knew that was your country… you sat there on money and turns with just enough defense to make sure a fatty would target you, but it would be such an “easy grab”. I did not take that bait last night.
