Why do you not take advantage of the theo bonus and get 90 or 100 bpt or more? you could then spend a lot more turns exploring especially later in the game as compared to a 70 bpt

In my opinion the big advantage of theo is being able to get a higher bpt with the same number of cs as everyone else. For some reason people think they should just build less cs which is a waste of the theo build bonus.

I didn't know about oiler

I though it was best to go farmer/oiler and still be mostly farms because there is not enough demand for oil to support an entire nation

I'd really like to try a commie indy but I don't think I can play a better CI than LB can

My next farmer will be a fascist farmer/oiler but I'm not going to farm two sets in a row

I'm not very good at techer but if I was to go techer I'd do tyranny to 35-40k and then switch to demo

Undecided for now and going to wait and see like Tmac but leaning towards casher again

I should have hit at least 90 mil and taken fourth but I stopped trying to maximize my net-worth when I got hit with a ton of missiles, and I spent a bunch of turns spying and market spying the top ten, and I launched all my missiles instead of cashing turns, and I didn't resell any military when I could have during the last two days

If I had played lazy the last week I might have had fourth, lol

I think they will both break 165m NW which is amazing

This happens in Primary server especially because the game has a feature called humanitarians, which prevent all players from attacking countries more than 4x or less than 4x their total networth

So what the experienced players do is attack countries that are approx. 4x smaller than they are, and then spend money afterwards to climb higher in networth so they are more than 4x larger than you are

The best way to fight back against this is to learn a basic game strategy and learn how to more efficiently play your turns so that you can get back within 4x the size of these attacking countries and then you will be able to attack them back with missiles or spy attacks or whatever way you see fit

Good luck

MILORD, I don't think he mis-spoke, I think he is experiencing cognitive decline similar to Alzheimer's or Dementia and he should not be anywhere near the presidency due to his declining mental state.

I just find it odd that for the past four years we had constant calls from physicians saying the president of the unites states was "unfit" and there really didn't seem to be any merit for it. However, now that we can all see it and recognize it in this president, now all of those calls seem to have disappeared from the media.

It's just mind boggling that this administration could make decisions that lead to a species extinction event and the "leader of the free world" is a person who doesn't seem to know who, or where he is, and likely can't recognize himself in the mirror

I think that move loses you about 30m nw at least. xD

Yes likely, rebuilding more than 10,000 acres when you have 60k land is very expensive

The last two rounds I've spent all my bonus on lowering expenses and I'm wondering about spending bonus points on building costs instead in a future round. I think next time I try a dictator farmer I will bonus building costs for at least half the round and try to get a lot more land

If you've been watching any of the info that has come out of the special council office in Wisconsin, or any of the voterGA stuff in Georgia, or the audit in Arizona, it seems that a sophisticated voter fraud organization put Joe Biden into the white house, and not the votes of the American people

Yup, that's why I made SDI lol

Since I made a catastrophic error that ruined my finish, I've been sort of taking advantage of my misfortune and spying the top 10 players so I can learn more about what it takes to win in this game

It seems to me that you can either play in a style that affords you a chance to win, or you can do things like waste money buying SDI

You can't really do both though because you will lose to someone like Tmac or Gerdler who is playing a more aggressive, more offensive, and more efficient country

Yes, I suppose you couldn't make a change like this without making other changes as well, as Rockman had spoke about in his prior post

I suppose if military units come with people it is just not accounted for in your population stats

I just like throwing out ideas, I'm not thinking that anything at all is going to actually change with the game seeing as how it is essentially the same as it was when I played it back in 1997

Yes Req, this would be the idea

It seems odd that when I lose almost all my population I lose almost all my production of food, or almost all my production of military in my factories, but I can still send 5 million jets out

I guess the idea is that the factories or the farms are not automated and require population to operate, but the jets and tanks are all unmanned drones?

I fear that the goal of the Biden presidency is much worse than just humiliating Americans

His administration appears to be working on behalf of communist China, and their actions are helping China to become a world hegemon.

Also the actions (sanctions) they have taken towards Russia since the invasion of Ukraine began seem to largely benefit China as well, and they further strengthen the alliance between China and Russia quite drastically

We are watching the beginning of the end of US geo political dominance on the world stage, and I fear that the future of this planet will be controlled by China, and to a lesser extend by Russia

Scary times ahead, too bad we allowed our election to be stolen by communists. We need decertification of the 2020 fraud and Trump to return to the presidency quickly or we will fail as a nation before 2024.

It will be interesting to see the US response to China's upcoming invasion of Taiwan, who here thinks they will do exactly none of what they have done to punish Russia?

Okay, here's my *updated* top 5 prediction:

1. #44
2. #22
3. #12
4. #2
5. #21

I could have #44 and #22 wrong in their spots, #22 could win and #44 2nd, and I could have #4 and #5 wrong as well, but the prediction for 3rd place for #12 can be taken right to the bank

*#7 could be a 4th or 5th place finisher but I didn't put him in the list because I really thought #70 was going to take exception to #7's double retal and pick a fight

Pardon my restraint in rhetoric. I have to think about the words before I write! After all, quite recently I liked one politician who impressed me in terms of views. Today he is in prison...

But still, I very carefully want to convey my view of these events to the other part of the Russians, who, like me, do not want war.

Great to hear a Russian perspective,

It is my belief as an America, that the US/Nato involvement in Ukraine is what has caused this reaction from Russia. I believe that we "poked the bear" so to speak and that this situation is largely the fault of the west who have placed NATO weapons in Ukraine and provoked the Russians

As the Russian leaders have said, they did not wish to attack Ukraine, and their war is not against the Ukrainian people or even against the Ukrainian military

From their perspective, they say that they had no choice but to fight to save the people in Eastern Ukraine from the Nazi groups and Neo-Nazi groups that have been waging war on eastern Ukrainians since 2014 at least, and to prevent NATO forces from putting nuclear weapons within a strike time of just 2 minutes from Moscow.

Okay, here's my top 5 prediction:

1. #44
2. #22
3. #12
4. #57
5. #2

The final net worth for #1 and #2 will be very high as both have played an amazing round

Also, I learned my lesson underestimating a certain player last round

Perhaps myself (#21) or one of the stockpiling techers could sneak in ahead of #2 or even ahead of #57 but I'm not sure on the techers due to KoH's comments above regarding his stock and the low tech prices this round

Here is a scenario

I knock my opponent down to their last 100 population, yet somehow they can still attack me with 100,000 tanks in the next turn

Seems there could be a mechanism in the game where you can't send attacks with jets or tanks unless you have enough people in your country to operate them

Just a thought, I know from reading other pages that this game rarely makes any changes at all

The US house just voted 426-3 to send 13,000 troops to support Ukraine despite very recent polling showing that less than 15% of Americans support sending US troops to Ukraine

So, as we knew all along, our votes and voices don't matter and they don't care what we think

I couldn't imagine being in the military and risking my life for this farce of a democracy

There was a time when the government existed to serve the will of the people.

Now the people exist to serve the will of the government.

Exactly KoH, Putin even said this in his address the other day

He said, how would the United States feel if we brought our military and weapons systems to the Canadian/US border, or to the Mexican/US border?

Btw, people demonize Putin but when I actually listen to what he has to say he seems very reasonable and he seems a heck of a lot more intelligent than our dear leader here in the USA

Like, cash wise? I was still in the green at 60mil. Now, not so much.

Just curious what your production per turn is compared to the big cashers, as in your net production per turn, units produced x estimated sell price on market (minus commission) minus food and cash per turn

As a 60k+ acre farmer I make approx. 675k bushels per turn, plus about 3 mil per turn positive cash flow, which at a sell price of $40 on the public market puts me just over 28 mil per turn net, which at this stage of the game is way way behind what a same size casher is making per turn

Nope, I know you've played a nice round but I really don't think any commie indy has a chance against two rep cashers who have more land than you have and are definitely outproducing you by a large margin at this point
