haha i came up with a funny bushel buying strat. imagine i go demo, name my country "hope you stocked food," then on the last day i take my $2b+ stock, buy all the bushels, sell them all on my private market, and then buy all the bushels again, and then sell it all again, rinse and repeat, and then everyone with 360 turns at the end that didn't stock food can't play! ha! seriously you could literally throw hundreds of millions of bushels into the incinerator that way.

lol well it works if you liquidate all military and tech, then liquidate the rest of your military on private.
demo gov. decent mil tech goes a long way.
buy bushels.
sell on private.
rinse and repeat

quite easy to buy out markets that way

Well yeah, it wouldn't be profitable, especially because you'd be burning every bushel you buy and salting the earth on your farms as well. But I'd say if you had $2b, you could single-handedly destroy over 300,000,000 bushels. Start selling all your military and tech, you could probably destroy another 300,000,000 bushels. You could burn the farms and salt the earth for sure

depends on the prices and volume.

As a demo it isn't that hard to make back what you've lost.

If you are selling for 35 to priv and bushels are 37 u only need to sell for more than 40 to make money back on your own bushels.

My issue is theres a lot of retard farmers who seem to always manage to keep prices under 40 when I play a farmer.

the point isn't to finish your country well, the point is to starve out other people so they can't finish well, either.
