I've not played much primary - what are everyone's feelings on top 10 and top 2-3 cut offs? It seems to vary pretty widely set to set.

My naive guess: land totals look a little more similar to last set than the 65k at the top a few sets back. So maybe top 3 in the 140M range? I'll go out on a limb and say top 10 will be higher, maybe 80M? There's a number of tech looking folks on decent acreage and nice prices this set, and as noted in this thread, there's a lot of quality countries in the top 25.

I’ll be happy to making top 20 considering how much I have voided GDI lol

I think the winner will be more like 125m. 80m for the top 10 cutoff sounds right to me though. Maybe 50m for top 20. I remember a set not long ago where something like 38m nw made 10th.

Make sure they deserve it, i had to buy up jets to make retals "out of principle" to discourage would be future grabbers, my remaining retal already messaged me saying that he won't grab me in future sets now that he knows my capabilities, sometimes it's worth throwing a set for the better of the future.

I don’t mind that, but when you are running a 4:1 or 5:1 jet to turret ratio, sorry - that is not acceptable and I will, and have been, grabbing twice back for each hit on me. I’m happy to take some missiles and finish in a war. I wasn’t really looking all that great with my finish anyway so will see how much I can push the envelope before it bits me in the A- hole.

Lol see what happens. I’m not worried either way. Better hope their missiles take me out because I can AB the hell out of both of them.

'Just because a random generator exists, it means you have to use it.' I think this is how programmers think. They have not thought about if this is ideal for this game or if it serves a purpose.

The only purpose the random events serve is to give the player the option to either drop the unbuilt, build them back up or keep them unbuilt. Usually this choice is a very easy one, but there may exist a breif window at some point in a round where an earthquake will be had that the player does not know if rebuilding is worth it. That's it.

So earthquakes for 95% of the round are meaningless, and for those 5% of the earthquakes that happen when the choice isnt obvious, it's still not groundbreaking if you make the wrong/right choice.

I do not, however, as many of you guys seem to think, that earthquakes are a huge problem in the game. Just a waste of code and time.

There's a (clearly) long standing tradition of fluffing mehul for earthquakes. I don't know that I'd read too much more into it myself.

Maybe you read too little into it. Perhaps half the playerbase is mainly here to complain about earthquakes, and if they were removed most of them might quit. :P

But I use the first one so that I never fail when I calculate fully. It rarely matters.

To add to what Gerdler said, once you get there, then you can divide by your own numbers to get the final total number of jets needed:

[(Def * govtbonus * weaponstech + allies) * defbonus * 1.1] / yourWeaponsTech / 1.5 for PS / govtBonus = jets needed

Express is a great place to practice doing these calculations quickly on the fly, but I made an excel sheet with all of the formulas embedded for Primary attacking. As long as I copy over the correct numbers for the defender and their allies, it works great. [/quote]

So weapons tech get calculated before 1.5 PS bonus? I just add the two together, seem to do alright most of the time.

It doesn't matter which order you multiply weaps, govt bonus, or ps bonus. You don't want to add them though. You only add 25% of allies D at the end, that's it.
