What strats were you playing to land those insanely high nws?

Also, I've always considered express to be the least involved server. I login once/twice a day, and use a lot of standing orders.

If one were to just go for a land record in today's conditions, wouldn't one just go Tyranny with a few k indies, keep land mostly barren and nw low, and just keep farming bots?

(I've never tried for land records so I'm not sure if I'm missing something, especially since we've got bots now.)

I think the news is accurate for most part, but this was the first set, at least for me, where I noticed news from earlier in the set disappeared.

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?

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.

I had 14:1 SPAL when you tried, so I was surprised you managed to get through. lol

Also, I saw that your military on market was blocking mine (those at $250). haha So you had the better reselling profits. You probably guessed mine was the ridiculous stuff at $500 and $1400 lol I can't believe someone bought those!

I play all explore so I'm glad you moved on.

Seems some people are just looking to spoil someone else's efforts, which looks like what happened to you.

The tech market can be extremely hit and miss, this set ended up being pretty decent. Oil was actually fairly abundant this set, which probably helped fuel attacks on actual players.

You seem to have a good thing going with the CI strats.

Strangely enough, I didn't manage to find oil at all this set (everytime I logged in it was empty), so ended up having to build some oil rigs to fund the attacks. I also probably caused the tech market crash cos I was desperate to sell tech after stonewalling. lol

.. so this set I was actually on track to get to 18-20k fully built by turn 500-600 on a techer. Had actually grabbed to 13k with 180CS at turn 400 before the small fight.

Well, I was hoping to contest you more (looks like I've been second for quite a few sets now).. but I got into a little bit of a small fight myself. Lobbed a buncha missiles back and forth, had to stonewall a GS KR on me (he gave up) in the middle of the set. By the time I recovered I missed out the higher tech prices earlier in the set.

Either way, congrats on the win!

I did have the misfortune of buying bus/res over 5k, and mil tech over 3k. And I did consistently buy jets over $160.

Won't have a solid finish but definitely contributed to the techer finishes. lol Am playing the country with 'Casher' in its name.

Aug 10th 2020, 3:22:55

Well, remember that if I was in GDI last set, I would very likely be in the 70-80m nw range and beat you both. lol But alas, it played out the way it did, so congratulations SuperFly on last set's win!

(Last set I did a Tyranny rainbow into Demo Techer and had a lot more time to resell. This set I played straight up Demo Techer with less time commitment - had 2m tech points to clear on the last day at very poor prices owing to my supply flooding the market.)

Hmm so far, it seems that Indy and Techer are the most successful strats on this server and Casher/Farmer seem really difficult. Is that accurate? When was the last time a casher or farmer managed to win?

Also guessing absolutely impossible for an Oiler to do anything here.

Congrats to whoever first is!

Well second place ain't bad! Got to 12k acres before turn 500. I stopped netgaining at turn 1400 (first of the string of suicides), and then used the next 150 turns to stonewall. Stopped using turns at 1550 and jumped prematurely. If I had been on the original plan (use turns to 1800) and kept my land (larger PM), could prob push 70-80m nw. So it seems the theorycrafting I did was accurate enough!

Thank you Netsquash for punishing me for not joining GDI. I wonder who the others were. Haha

According to the wiki, the formula suggests ROUND(0.17*9290*(1+9290/9623)+3,0) = 3107 TPT?

I tried using turns but it didn't change anything. Still 621 TPT strangely.

I have 9290 labs, and 9623 acres.
My TPT is 621. This seems.. wrong?

I had 1800 TPT as a 6k acre techer and 4000 TPT as a 12k acre techer (fully built). Seems like TPT is bugged?

Yea I'd definitely report for collusion and see what happens.
