have you had better luck running a tech start or has the market been decent enough to skip it?

are you netting or warring?

For netting I don't think you should ever do a tech start

Despite very good advice given to me, I decided to do tech starts as a netter the last 2 sets, and not as a Theo.

Bad idea. Going a different way this time and I'll buy my tech.

that's waht i was thinking but wasn't sure... the Team tech prices were amazing this last set for us netters thanks for the advice!

i like to give each of my farmers/cashers 1 tech leech from a techer (retaller) . it helps them out a lot in the start

yea, i too usually let my netters leech lol

I never do tech starts unless I'm war prepping or in fear of being hit.. and hmm I should start leeching too. It usually seems better to just ally up all 4 of my techers though

last set my tech starts did exactly the same as my countries who didn't

all depends on prices really and how much you grab.

I've done tech starts the last two sets, and warred once with them and netted once with them. The warring set, It's probably the one thing that kept me afloat when battling NBK. The netting set, I still finished with just shy of a 110M NW average, and I'm kinda sucky at this game in my own estimation.

So I'd say if you're 100% sure you're safe from war, probably should listen to these other guys that actually do the math to see what's the best strategy, but if you think there's even a reasonable chance that you might end up in a war, I'd do the tech start for sure.

im gonna run 3 techers for my demo to leech and well find out end set

Buy it as netter

I've done 8 tech start cashers and 4 cash start cashers

My cash starts have only about 12k each bus/res techs right now, and they've got about two days more construction sites than my tech starts, but only about 1/3rd of the tech. Its not really worth it for my cash starts to build any more CS at this point, but their techs still suck.

Is it normal for cash starts to have techs this crappy a week into the set?
