While I'd like a DNH, I mean.. I'm not really the best grab target on this server this set. lol

I am as usual running a country with the same naming convention...

and I will be playing somewhere between CI or techer. I'm not sure I can finish Sunday so I might go with techer and premature jump lol

I didn't receive any of these messages - if cross-server reps was offered then yes that is cheating.

Congrats cordy! Great finish as the big FFO!

I thought I'd have you beat - I made a very very big mistake at the end - I switched to monarchy and bought out my PM before switching to theo. lol Once that happened, I kinda gave up on the rest of my destock. =\ That said, winners don't make mistakes - well played!

Congrats Gerd! Man that's a sick finish after getting farmed. 100m really possible!

Missed 80m nw - I actually destocked fine this time (yay) but was behind on grabbing pace. Should've bought cheaper tech on Sat/Sun than where my SOs were at. That was prob where 10m nw went.

Is the worst possible strat Tyr Casher and Fasc Casher then?

I mean we don't have to play absolute horrible strats, just unconventional mixes.

While I agree Gerdler's suggestion is a fair competition, and the tradeoff of Rob's suggestion is someone else might create a nw record that'll stick, I'd much rather see as many people as possible play fasc casher or commie techer.

My guess is one of the rubbish strat guys still win.

You'd need an early stock to play the tech market.. something like over 2b stock to hold up 1-2 techs.

...and a lot of commitment. lol Harder these days though not impossible.

I'd recommend casher if you (like me) play less on the weekend. Just grab whatever you can on the weekdays, and the weekend you just cash all your turns and jump at the end.

So far, the winners of the rounds have been:
596: CI
597: Techer
598: CI
599: CI
600: CI
601: Farmer

Will a casher finally take round 602?

Congrats Tmac on first! Great farmer finish.

Everyone got grabbed this set but still good finishes from the top 3.

(I botched my destock as usual - bought out most of my PM after the monarchy switch but before the theo switch. Bummer!)

Yea I mean erm... a commie won. lol And the other big commie was really close too.

So I'd actually say, as the only person who's played a large farmer under the new rules, at the same acreage I outproduce theo casher as a fasc farmer (by a pretty large margin). I'm not sure about rep casher, but the R is prob a big target. lol

So far since the changes I’ve a 100% hit rate of picking the wrong strats for the wrong sets. I go techer and tech is dirt cheap, Casher and tech is crazy expensive. Anyone want super cheap food next set?


I feel like going farmer again this time, but a different type of farmer. So, 100k acres worth of farms between the 2 of us? xD

Many many fat countries this set and interesting market. It does feel like the market depends on the player strategy mix again - not just how to "exploit bots".

I'm having a very terrible set full of avoidable mistakes (such as, producing spies for 100 turns as an indy because I forgot to to change my production, and then having to sell those spies on private). Oh and ran outta cash/food like 5-10 times.
