This is better than watching a couple of crows troll the fluff out of a pair of brawling cats. I need me some popcorn.

Something tells me this guy doesn't really care if he's taken out as long as he gets to wreak havoc first...

Minimum of once a day. Sometimes more.

Yes.

C R O A T I A's doppelganger is probably trying to get some fringe benefits from the name, hoping people will be scared to attack/retal them.

Be funny if the real C R O A T I A curbstomped them on principle.

Yes. And because effectiveness operates off the spies per acre of land ratio, it means a country with a relatively small number of spies but very little land can easily outspy (or defend against spy attacks from) a country with a larger number of spies but also a lot of land.

Yep, that's what I do when I run a netgainer set.

Why is that allowed? Presumably because it's a war game, and some players like to wage war.

If you're trying to netgain and want to keep to yourself, you need to make yourself a difficult target. If you make a mistake like forgetting to join GDI, it may suck, but it's still your mistake. The solution to making mistakes is to learn from them, not to restrict others just because they're not playing the way YOU want them to do.

I completely forgot about the 6% markup.

Never mind! :D Thanks for clearing that up.

Buying turrets on public market that are priced at $159. Turrets on private market priced at $168. Despite that, I'm consistently getting a "Some of these goods were purchased for a better price on your private market" message, purchase after purchase. As far as I can tell, it wasn't just a display glitch but was actually pulling them from the private market, wasting money and forcing me to switch to the "always buy from public market" option.

This is on Tournament game C.

If you're playing to netgain? Generally.

If you just want to crack some skulls, probably not.

First was Team server, clicked on "scores" page and it came up blank with a message to the effect of "there are no players on this server" or something similar. Clicked it again, scores came up fine.

Second was Express server, war room page, immediately after a successful AB. The cash display at the top of the screen showed my dollar amount, but also threw in quite a few decimal places after it (like so: $1,412,739.666666667).

It could be if they saved up 100 turns and went all scorched earth on you at 3 in the morning. XD

Possible solution would be to disable the restriction that prevents a country from attacking a larger country, provided that the larger country has attacked them in the past.

Well... if a given player doesn't have the time or patience to play that particular server, nobody's making them do it. I don't run countries in every server.

However, I still would love to see it as an option. A lengthy Express server is definitely one I'd play.

But, even a marginally extended Express would be nice too.

I stand corrected; evidently I mistook your meaning.

That said, Express is 360(360) unless I'm much mistaken. Even at a turn every four minutes, you'd still have to skip a full 48 hours before you started actually losing turns.

As long as you log in and use up your turns once a day, you'd be fine.

I took it to mean the same duration as Primary, but with turns coming at the Express rate.

Which would be awesome.

Oh, it's counting over multiple sets. That makes more sense. Thanks.

I hadn't checked the news at the time and didn't even know he was fighting someone else... he had simply paid my country a friendly visit earlier and I wanted to be sure he got his parting gifts. Let it never be said that I'm a stingy host.

Well, no, the correct expression is "I couldn't care less".

Regardless, looks like you were right about that coordination bit. Both countries are deleted now.

What I meant is, the second attacker could have simply seen what was going on in the news, and decided you'd make an easy target since you'd already taken a beating. Doesn't necessarily mean there was any communication between the two attackers (though of course it's possible).

Maybe they just wanted to landkill someone, and saw a target of opportunity.

Not very effective though...
