The best part of it is people are still feeding into them.... if the majority of players boycott tech and played a week without buying tech. Finishes would be lower but then techies would also be forced to drop the price.

Lower your demand for tech and prices will follow suit. Don't give in to them.

Is it Knight Club? He didn't talk to me when he RoRed me with 500 turns on hand, but I see he picked another fight after a rash of bad grabs. I killed him two weeks ago.

Lol from the look at government types and the pricing over the last 4 hours I'd say there's more then 1. But they're not very good at marketing. It's easy to hold on to turns for 2 days waiting for resonance pricing to come around.

I'd buy tech at 3k but they insist on dropping it by mere hundreds. 4600---4500----4200, some news will buy this and likely the bots.

Going on EEstats and dudusing he used alot of missiles on 9 isn't a secret. Duducing that a top 10 player has 2 DAs isn't a secret, that they have poor defense, well that's debateable. Although he posted no numbers and what's "poor" to one player might not be "poor" to all.

Any player can make an educational guess from a 28 million NW player breaking another 28 million NW player on their Jet counts. One of them will have low defense, and the fact he posted is open information on EESTATs. Farm at your own risk though.

Guess your not attacking in the 6-10 million range.... there's only a handful of players most of which limit grabbing to 1 maybe 2 hits a day if you're lucky enough to find someone without 30 missiles and low defense.

Self deleting is the ultimate F**k you to anyone who just lost 15k buildings and 10k acres. All the land Vic lost to Bibi, Vic burned and plagued.... The buildings they captured Vics commandos rigged with boobitraps and has now just left him a 4th world country. To follow that up with self-deletion, is like when you've gotten your prisoner and he bleeds out so you cant keep beating him daily for your personal pleasure.

I once had great set going in express on what was probably the craziest food set ever. Food was going for an average price of 82 a bushel, but I forgot GDI and got rocked by missiles only to see the culprit self delete moments latter. Sucks not being able to take back any sort of revenge, so I agree with Vic, set wrecked for set wrecked followed up by no reason to play the last 14 days is rather poetic

That's why tyranny appears to be 4%

Demo takes 3 turns to attack (9% gained)
All others 2 turns to attack (6% gained)

doenst it also take the % of units u send ? or is it purely based on the above u mentioned.

If you send 3 times the required minimum to break it lowers around the pace above. If you send the minimum it uses more readiness. Best guess is it uses around 10% + 3% per turn based? Give or take.

Cable plays CI like always

Temple looks for 30 seconds on eestats to find a commie that matches

Or

Temple tries oiling for çhange and buggers it up. Ref you own thread from friday...
Temple gets into a shabby war with 101
But its ok because temple is running a secret multi wity the dastardly plan of waiting for cable to come along so he can get DTd then send precisely one fluffty EM back.
temple waits for the butthurt forum post to point out a load of readily available info, sorry super accurate secrets...

I wish i had done it if only to demonstrate you don't know how gdi works and you can't even manage to start a war.

Lol I play CI maybe 1 time out of 4 but you seem to know everything. I only played CI this week with the intent to use the tech bonus to mass missiles and get a quick spy count to wreck fluff up. You think everything I say is whining, again wrong, but you're entitled to be retarded as your sub 65 IQ states that's the lone for legal retardation.

Last you are right, I was wrong it's not you running a multi or coordinatinget but 2 other players. Thus like I said if it's not you I will apologize, so for that I'm sorry. I only DT a player with the intent of warring, but he won't engage in it say la ve.

Lol GDI stops someone from suiciding you and thatsee really about it, it's a tool that stops early game disruption. Make some big retals and some players will think twice, others will just wait till you out grow your potential then farm you anyways. It's either keep up or get beaten up...

He's got this crazy method off logging in and running turns.

I'm clearly not coordinating. I'm baffled as to who you think I'm running as a multi. The only "accurate fact" i posted was by following the whiff of butthurt to eestats and lookingfor the flufftiest looking commie in gdi whod been missled. MULTI!!! [/quote]

I like how you "assume" I was running a CI and "looking for it" because I run CI so often. I could have been runing any country that was missiled, but you seem to have the inside track. I'm not butthurt at all, I merely wanted to war a second person but the mechanics of the game seem to have denied me.

No because defense points don't double... his poor attempt at trolling just makes him look stupid again. I suspect he won't post again though as I think he's either running a multi or he's coordinating with another player. If it's not him I will apologize, but 2 players in the game are 100% coordinating that much is for sure. Conveniently minutes apart he posts some pretty accurate facts.

If you DT you break GDI so are open to misisles

If there's one retal with a missile it won't break GDI

It only cost you 16000 units (or 32000 in Cablemaths) so I wouldn't sweat it too much.

Bro you didn't get that phonics book I sent you?

If a missile destroyes 16000 units it can't double, it destroys every type of unit from Spies to tanks. I know that's tough to understand the difference between actual units and defense/attack strength.

How does someone who missiles a player not break their GDI?

PlAyer 1 double taps
Player Missiles player 1
Player one gets "GDI will not let you preform that type of attack"

Yah its more the point with 48 hours left in the set its barely worth it to make a retal unless your way behind on turns played. Plus they will barely get any of the land they lost back out of it. Mabye 25% if that, and given the costs to get the smidgen back its really just frustrating more then anything else.

Tech will always go down as techers get bigger and other countries fall off the map. Same with food, typically food prices start low but then go up while countries grow. Then drop drastically at the end of set.

If a target retal more than once, option of initiating suicides will be on my hand, right (assuming both with GDI)? If that's the case a serious player would unlikely do that. So...

If no retal, best scenario
Retal once, still a good land trade to me
Retal more than once - also a good trade to me - that means a reputable outstanding player won't make it top 5 this set... (Ie veterans players are of higher value to me in this perspective - as a trophy)

Yes you will have the option of warring with a first strike. That being said, a lot of player whi are gonna war will be ready for your first strike. Like I said each to their own, play the game the way you see fit.

Side note, that is how I feel silent wolf , I feel like growing my country exponentially will just result in me being attacked with little chance of gaining my land back in a retal. So it puts me at an impass.... SPAL up and perhaps gear up for the inevitable one would susspoe.

Theres nothing wrong with top feeding, its all apart of the game. Play it the way you see fit, I'm just saying some players may or may not appreciate losing that much land, only to get 20% of it back. Others will just plain be butthurt, and throw their set away. But considering hes a "new member" I just figured id give a friendly heads up on the way others will see his attacks.

That's a better way of going about things, If a player has to hit you 5 times to get the land back that you took from them. They may or may not be happy about it, and loose cannon players may just choose to make poor decisions in return. Not everyone feels this way, but eventually you will run across a player who isn't happy about you taking alot more acres then they will gain back by hitting you once.
