@Vic I sent you a message on Discord. I'm teching as well, looking for allies.

Yes, welcome back Havoc!

anyone needs 1 more def & intel ally?

I am looking for 1 more. No wars this time, is the plan. :)

My ally got deleted so need def and intel...

When you guys do Indy start commie indies do you also take into account population growth since it is tied to production like the cashers do?

I do not think it makes enough difference, that the focus would be much different than my usual pure indy start up. That is getting to 135% indy. then getting bus and res to 115%. And then getting indy to 150% before working on the others techs (unless of course you find some real real sweet deals).

Might be 9 years since I ran a pure indy start, though :)

Depends on the tech market too. Last set was a rough tech market for buyers, great for sellers early. This set is the opposite. When you're a commie, that tech effectiveness bonus is massive, and you don't want to run turns without improving your tech. So if there's no indy, yeah, you get casher techs or mstrat. A little goes a long way. It's a useful thing to get used to, for want of a better phrase, sacrificing your present for the future. "If I buy all that tech now my turns will suck and be hard to run but I'll have more money tomorrow because of it" is the only way to function as an indystart.
