Countries like #4 has nothing to do with humanitarian range - he just got big, got plenty of SDI and military & thus is untouchable for his targets, not because of humanitarians.

That's just good play.

He can go on farming most of the server without much worry because of how he set his country up (which takes investment in SDI that most others dont want to pay for), and there's nothing wrong with that, nor should any change stop that.

Primary is by far the best server in this game and should be left alone as much as possible. Adding bots or increasing turn frequency would ruin it in my opinion.

If you want to address the issue of the server being brutal for weaker countries you could increase the acres per explore, and you could also increase the bonus acres per day.

Maybe if exploring was more advantageous, and if it was 50 or 100 bonus acres per day as opposed to 20 it would make a difference and would cause some of the better players to take less risk with multi-tapping and breaking gdi on the weaker players.

Realistically the weaker players just need to learn to play better, buy more tech, and find ways to fight back when they do get farmed. If it was easier for them to get more land via exploring and bonus acres per day it might make the server more enjoyable for them as well.

Another suggestion would be doing a better job with the in-game tips to help people learn how to specialize and pick a strategy and get to the proper tech levels.

Cheers

I agree with all this. Good changes that help without changing what works with Primary.
- More bonus acres / increase explore acres
- Tips for inefficient players (this can come in right at the start, assisting them through phases / aspects of the game)

Also probably better not allowing countries to attack and run out of humanitarian range

I think its worth exploring how to improve Primary, especially for those not at the top.

One of the key issues with Primary is the small player count leads to the top few players farming the rest of the server for land, and those at the bottom get farmed till they may not want to play the game anymore. This then leads to a smaller player pool, leading to more farming and multi tapping - and the viscous cycle goes on getting worse every set.

I think looking into how to increase land in the server may help this perhaps, but whats key is how to make the game friendlier to those not at the top.

Military is not just expensive, the market seems to be empty quite often - its a great CI set.

Based on prices now, being a farmer is the worst strat to be by far

Yeah but I retal 😉

Which is why i haven't hit you yet (and probably wont).

On another note, tech seems to be rebounding. And this military shortage is becoming a problem - i seem to forced into buying military off pm quite often

Either way, RickyDee suicided Rob. It's sad and all when a good player get his set ruined. But lets look beyond that and use the information to our advantage:
1. He hit the best looking casher he didn't know right?
2. He is a qanon + mega maga fan (see general talk)
3. American/canadian looking play times/posting times.
4. He started around the time a certain player from Canada who liked to suicide me every set quit.
5. He won Express. Someone else was trying to win express right before he quit, I forget if he did or not.

I smell a canadian rat. :P

I feel like you're easy to find most sets Gerdler (except last set). I dont know for sure 100% but i think i know who you are this set :)

And i do hope i dont get mistaken for you again lol

I think I get why express could be a good choice for new players in theory. Resets only last a week so there's plenty of chances to start over and learn from your mistakes from the last round. But otherwise it just feels too intense and unforgiving. I can't say that I have a full picture of anything, but it's hard to view a server as healthy when bots can finish as high as 11th.

Unforgiving is Primary. Not only is it slow, it can be brutal.

Express is more of a fun server where you can try things out. But I would say Tourney is probably best for a returning / new player as it’s not as fast and different as Express is, while not also being a server like Primary where the top few batter the rest of the field for land

Hey Netsquash, hope you’ll reconsider. Hate to see you leave

There are and always will be douchebags who play just to ruin other players sets unfortunately

It’s frustrating, especially with the effort and the way you played but I really do hope you’ll be here again soon

Haha it was a weird set with no free land and new market dynamics.

I kinda wonder if we can spice things up by changing the bot composition from set to set. Say 1 set we have too many techer bots, then next set too many farmers bots, and then too many indy bots etc.

This might make it so that we get more strats getting to the top, instead of every set being some version of a CI or Demo/Theo Techer on top.

I like this.

Right now i think the most interesting question of this set is how high Grevious will finish - I’m intrigued

And I’m also now certain your 100m net worth attempt is possible under the right circumstances

This was far from ideal circumstances, so in ideal circumstances definitely doable - which now has got me interested in trying again :)

Yeah no kidding. I was doing some simple math, and this set could easily have gotten even more than that for a techer.

I'm playing techer next set i think, so it will probably be one of the worst tech sets next time around :)

Grievous could go as high as 3rd i think. Tech market still holding above 3k and i dont see it going down soon.
Bushels havent been too expensive either so stocking shouldnt be an issue.
