Come on, you can't attack me 7 times and not expect me to landgrab you back.

Then on top of it you decide to hit me further and then hit me with AB's.

Guess I'm going to spend the set warring again.

What do you mean by "decay will occur"

If your resource decay bonus is at 100% does that reduce your corruption costs to $0 when over $2 billion?

Does increasing your military tech have the effect of reducing the amount of military available on the private market?

I'm still barely fielding a roster with all of the injuries. There's absolutely no depth in this league due to the way it is set up.

I didn't want to do this today...

I run all explore countries in Express.

If you hit me more than twice, it will prompt me to blow my stock and ensure that since my set is ruined, that yours will be too.

Some of that may have changed. Buy 1000 units and take a turn to test

Thanks for the information, it appears to be accurate.

At what rate does population and military consume food? Do different military units consume different amounts of food?

I'm not sure how this works, but the news disappears after a while. I actually was the first country over 10k (I grabbed to 12.5k, next largest was under 8k). I actually got hit 3 times (but I did notice end of set, everything disappeared except te last 2 hits), and I considered retalling but it wasn't worthwhile (using those turns to tech was better). All the times I've gotten hit, I wasn't necessarily underdefended, just hit by countries with a lotta jets.

That makes me feel better because you had me racking my brain over how you explored all of that land and finished the way you did. Great job though.

Good to know the news isn't accurate. Would be good to know how and why.

Got hit a lot this set despite being decently defended. I'm surprised you went ahead with the grabs considering the amount of defense I had for so little land. Looks like I will have to increase defense next set to help deter.

A big part of deterring grabs is timing for when I run turns it seems. I changed up my timing this set, but it's good data regardless.

Some reason your history on eestat didnt give me pause like i normally would and only grab once to wait to verify if bot or not

I stocked up on tanks when i saw you retaling... im like aw fk lol

Next time i will avoid you. 100% innocent hits. I go out of my way to not hit humans so they return the favor

I was gonna let you slide since I figured you unintentionally hit me. The other guy though, he decided to hit me 6 times in a row, and that wasn't going to go unpunished.

Oh easy. Tyranny rainbow-ish into Demo Techer. Got to 12.5k acres at turn 500. Teched. Destocked at turn 1550.
Destocked really poorly for most part, and then decided to do some last minute reselling to push past NetSquash more convincingly, and then someone bought my military on market in the last minute, reducing my nw before I could spend it. lol

Which country did you run?

I was Fhloston Paradise. Didn't even get to spend my bit of cash I had left on hand.

Was looking at the news for your country and didn't see any landgrabs by you, though you did sustain two. That means you explored to 12k?

To the bottom right there are announcements about the bonus system improvements and market/attacking bug fixes, both of which are linked to a subdomain titled blog: https://blog.earthempires.com/?p=71

It's alright, people are knocking the hell out of me this set, more so than usual. So my set is probably screwed at this point.

They've been here and there, but prices have largely been up. Turrets typically going between $130-$150 today with a bit outside each end. Troop prices have consistently been over $100. Jets have been bought out a lot today.

I'm not a big math person and don't do a lot of it in my day to day, but ever since getting back into this game, especially Express, I've been working out all sorts of new formulas, re-learning math equations, and crunching a ton of numbers. It's been really enjoyable and has given my mind a mental workout it sorely needed.
