I like the idea of GDI as an option, but being able to only retal GDI countries with a SS/PS for non-GDI countries is frustrating.

I think it would make sense if GDI countries had the rules, as they exist now, for other countries in GDI.

Non-GDI could only hit GDI countries with SS/PS, unless a GDI country SS/PS'd them first. Then let them have at it. GDI countries would have to stick to grabbing other GDI countries to enjoy the benefit of not getting retal'd with a special attack.

As it stands now, non-GDI countries have to defend both against suicides and regular LG's and have enough jets to hit back. This can be a lot to manage when your opponent is just focused on jets and turrets.

The presence of missiles and tanks has no deterrent effect to GDI countries who only plan on grabbing once. Kind of a waste for such a powerful aspect of the game. Also makes SDI useless for those who do not break GDI.

Woot finally got the win!

Was interesting being for the most part the only food on the market. I bought out around 30mil bushels(@$60-70) and resold on private late morning/afternoon to kill supply. After that it was trying to find a price point that actually sold. Seemed anything over 100 started to price people out(wouldn't spend turns at a net loss). I'm wondering if i just kept my food at 120-150 if I still would've sold all my stock


I switched to farmer around Saturday morning since I was already low on land. On Sunday I was pushing out about 2M bushels an hour or so and had no problem moving them in the 90+ range. Sold a decent amount above 100 towards the end of the set.

It's two fold

Theo has +50% max. population which means more revenue
Tyranny has -25% per capita income

I like the present speed. The speed also means a new set is right around the corner.

If I was paying money to play this game I would want more communication regarding the moderation. Since this game is free, I have nothing but thanks for those who spend their time keeping it operational.

I'll live with the occasional mistake because it happens. Even if it happens to me (hope not)!

I always make sure to read and understand your posts. I think you have it wrong on commies. Commie is typically the majority government of the top 10 countries at end of set. I think they do have a higher max market than on other servers, but I'm not 100% certain.

I see, triple tap today. When that happens to me I hit back with everything I've got. I'm afraid that simply grabbing back will break GDI and leave me open to counter attacks. If I'm sitting at my computer all day then maybe I'll risk it ;-)

Were you in GDI?

I'm playing outside of GDI this set. Prepared for the worst, hope for the best. Playing without GDI and going low on any one military unit + SDI is super risky.

I think it's mostly supply/demand driven with a bit of basic market psychology from time to time. I don't have the #s to back this up, but I bet for the sets where tech is priced lower than average you would simply see more people paying the strat of a techer, therefore more tech available @ lower prices.

I have a fast client, fat pipe, and low latency. Connection to EE is usually snappy, certainly is today. I only clicked the mouse once. It was so fast, I don't recall even seeing the first attack, only the second which was DH. In fact, I thought I calculated the break wrong until I saw the two attacks in the news, the first of which was successful.
