Some fluffer keeps stealing my tech every other day! If I wasn't having such an outstanding set (by my standards) I would figure out who you are and war for that sleeze!

They really need to change the success window for harmful spyops.. I think he is making a killing off me for only spending 1 turn. My SPAL is ~46! I could buy some spy tech I guess..

Maybe because he was the first one to hit him and send the message to others that he is a target worth grabbing?

To be honest he just looked like a target when I was grabbing though. I thought about grabbing him, but then I remembered who the player behind the country was and based on previous sets history decided against it.. heh

Wait, I can go to my relations page right now and it says I have two trade ally slots available. So they do exist, but they are for FA then and essentially useless in Primary because FA is disabled? Because I have spy reports of people with trade pacts as allies too (it screws with my calculations in predicting their allies!) Why would people have them if they do nothing? Just to screw with my calculations and eat the small expense? lol

Oldman, good analysis. At such volatile and high prices though, I wonder if bushels are even being stocked by the techers? If some Techer's have been in their prime now a little over a week, they only really got into the food market when prices hit >$40. As soon as they would of started stocking, prices started to increase, and in the span of about 7 days went from >$40 to >$70. There would be about 3 weeks left in the set at the peak bushel price. I wonder if it made sense to keep stocking bushels knowing that if/when it crashed they would be selling for far less than they purchased?

Would that even be allowed in primary or would the countries get deleted for coordinating via a trade pact and circumventing the public market?

Disclaimer:
I have never used a trade pact so I am not quite sure how it works exactly. I assume you put some goods up for a specified price or amount of other goods desired? And the receiving person has the option to pay that price or other desired goods for the goods being offered, or reject the trade?

Well, what would you do with food/oil prices being as high as they were and poised to drop. Keep stocking them? Or find another good to purchase (tech) that isn't going to increase expenses (but may increase profits), and preferably will be worth more (or the same) when you go to sell it, than when you purchased it?

You could treat clan members like brothers or people playing from the same building. Safe list them, and prevent them from allying or grabbing each other?

This is why I say that past a week long retal is some bullfluff. Is the 119 acres usefulness compounded over ~30 days worth 6219 acres he had to give up for it at the end? Factor in the military losses plus rebuild costs and I highly doubt it.

Farmers are earning more per turn right now than the top Techers at 37k acres (~12,500 TPT) could have if tech prices were still at $3,000 average ($37,500,000 per turn)!

Well, with food sitting at a $199 high for the past 5-6 hours, I am not surprised people jumped on that $68 food price! Better get it while you can, the server may run out of food completely at this rate!

Lol, funny thing is Blid isnt the only one with orders up of that size for food. I suspect at least 4 of the big techers probably have similar orders up as well. Farmers need to ramp up production!

I blame all the smaller tech countries who keep selling tech BELOW THE ASKING PRICE. Are you fluffing stupid or what? When someone has an order up for $1700 and the average tech price for that category is $1800, why on earth would you sell your tech for $1550-$1600? Unless your dumping ungodly amounts of tech on the market (more than what can be sold in a day), you really don't need to undercut the asking price like that..

Agreed. The changes in special attack damage may work for team based servers where you get a bunch of countries all gaining up to kill a single country. But in solo servers, where it is just 1vs1, it takes too long to reach the actual potential damage of the attacks (via the "ramp up" effect), making them pretty useless, unless the defenders have close to no units of that type.

Spy damage is good for the most part, (Other than needing to have the same building types to get good results from bomb buildings..), but the window of success for harmful spy ops should be reduced to something less than the information spy ops.

It makes sense for the information ops to have such a large success window, but the harmful spy ops are too difficult to stop, even when your SPAL is a bit larger than your enemies.

I don't get why the bomb buildings should work best only when they are the same building type.. Why shouldn't it blow up an equal percentage of the persons buildings spread over all their buildings or something.
So for example:
If they have 1000 Industrial, 30,000 Research, 100 Farms and 300 Construction Sites, and a bomb buildings destroys 1% of their buildings: = 10 Industrial, 300 Research, 1 Farm, and 3 Construction Sites get destroyed.

I also support the thread in the Bugs and Suggestions area about making Harmful spy ops have a narrower success window than the Information spy ops.

Special attacks take too long to "ramp up" in Primary where you have to fight your own battles. If you don't sit with near empty unit types there isn't much to fear from them it seems. Also granted that you log in at least once every 24 hours to spend turns. I guess the changes work for clan/team based servers to thwart suiciders? But that is what we have GDI for in Primary right?

An example of what happens when you RoR with low spies:

I think most of it was the #75 Dictator with spy ops mixed with some missiles and grabs from #197.

Because when you hit that guy during the 2nd week in the set you gain about 300-400 acres. If he comes back 3-4 weeks later after pumping nothing but jets and makes his "retal" he is going to take 4-5+ times as much land as you took from him. This is not acceptable in my book, and why I like a 1 week retal window. They can still pump jets for a week to retal back probably, but the land you lose will probably be more comparable to what you took and it is a lot easier to accept.

This market is very hard for me to predict.. I wasn't expecting tech to fall so fast. Why would people put tech on the market for like ~$800 less than the average price for that tech was going for that night? I was also not expecting food to go from like $37-$47 overnight either.. Oil I thought would have gone above $200 by now, but it seems to be holding pretty stable. Along with it all came the drastic drop in military prices, which benefits me, but was also unexpected..

Yep, if you are a decent player, CI seems to be the way to roll if you want to get out ahead and stay there for most of the set. I have yet to see a Primary game where CIs don't dominate most of the top spots from the start to just past the halfway point. Later nearing the end they don't all stay up there. But I bet it must be nice not having to worry about getting land grabbed up there, and only having to worry about retals..

Is it worth it for a techer to fall a day behind in land because he cant spend turns due to high food prices. Or should a techer bite the bullet and buy just enough $200 food to make some grabs?

They got a bit greedy with their grabs I think, hitting above 1/3rd of their own networth. As someone else noted, once one of the top CI's hit a guy, the others tend to follow up with their own hits on the same target shortly after. Guess #106's target selection wasn't as perfect as we thought. lol

Just so you know, some of the top countries enforce a 72hour-1week retal policy. If the retal is past that period they may treat it as a fresh landgrab and hit you back again.

I was thinking he wants to smack the bigger guys back first before they have a chance to outgrow him. Also to make the retals within a 72 hour period since some top countries may enforce this rule and have the means to do so. The lower networth country is really a target anytime he wants it, he can get that.

Plenty of useful information in the wiki h2o linked above, and also in the forums here. If you don't mind doing a little digging there is lots of good information to be had in the Strategy Room and Questions & Answers boards.

Lists of players in each of the servers (except express) can be found here:
