Seems like the easiest strategy to win then would be cashier or techer, where you sit around exploring, having lots of CS, run low defense, take hits, then late set, slowly make your retals, growing as much as you want per day. Do other servers have a different way to win the primary set of explorer, to-retals sounds boring to me.

What you are describing is called a tech start. You have the general idea. We tech until levels are appropriate and then convert from techer and play as our main strategy.

To answer your other question, 10-20 percent of your buildings as indies should cover your spies. You can run higher spy count for wars. Spies are very strong in wars.

Here’s an example of a tech start

Im new why is everyone net worth so low? Are they holding cash or not buying units, are the cashiers, and farmers massing tech to leap ahead later? When does that happen?

Also assuming no messing around, what sort of total spy counts do people shoot for? I know it's about spies per land.

Meant to quote this post in my response btw. Sorry I was responding to two separate posts that you made. Hopefully that helps a little bit.

You attack a country more than once and you break GDI, does it have to be successful attacks? is there a cool down where the 1 attack drops off or does it hold for entire set?

Ok, so at some point the top will be forced to break GDI in order to keep growing, and I guess that means being forced into less efficient militaries with tanks, troops, and SDI defense?

Does weapons tech affect the special attacks like guerrilla strike?

VicRattlehead

Yes, weapons tech affects all attacks and defends.

And correct, the top land players will be forced to break GDI. Careful players will weigh their target selection heavily, trying to only choose targets that look like they won't be able to catch up and hit back, and then later on they will multi-tap targets that they can "jump out" of range of. Out of Humanitarians range means you can't attack a country at all due to size difference.

This is why it's a bad idea to grab willy nilly out of the gate on this server, and instead batch explore for your early growth, as opposed to servers with bots where it's all upside to grabbing instead of batch exploring.

So once you jump out of range on humanitarians they cannot hit back unless they net gain back enough, a long time ago there was a "declare war" button and would allow out of range actions, is that gone?

Also for future reference, how far up do different strats try and bath explore before attacking?

It's going to depend on the player more than anything, but republics the highest. It's also dependent on landgoal. If you just want to get to 15k and tech out, you only want to do the first batch. If you're trying to be a fatass casher, the second batch from 3800 acres is probably a good idea.

I'm planning to run all-X this round personally, we'll see if I can avoid having to retal.

Originally posted by Greaps:

Declare war is still there, I don't think it bypasses humanitarians range but it does give you an attack bonus IIRC. It's mostly a thing for other servers at this point as far as I can tell, as GDI works differently on alliance server and team server.

There is no declare war option in Primary

Humanitarian range is 4x networth, so you will soon see 4 million networth countries that multi tap 1mil networth countries and then hope that they can stay 4x larger than their target country

What ends up happening is players who are building ineffective countries lacking strategy will become farmland for the top players on the server

With SS's or PS whats is a multi-hit protection still a thing? How many hits until gains are significantly reduced?

Hits are reduced after 2-3 hits typically. By the 4th and 5th hits the gains aren’t really that good.

Re: I’m keen to see how you do going all-x. The number have really dropped this set, so I’m also going to try and do as much exploring as possible (normally I only do one batch explore all set at 1920a) since they few targets that are there are perpetually in DR. Also going to try and follow Delphis rule and only make 1 grab her country…. Although I don’t know if I’ll pull that off lol.

Remember that you are limited to 50% empty acres, so about double what you start with on the first batch, or 3800ish

Assuming you're fully built, it will cap at 1920a, the number of turns that will take depends on government. You can't explore any more if you have more land unbuilt then built.

What do players spend their bonus on, ive been getting expenses lower lately and did bonus productions a few times earlier which ones and what Strats, I can't imagine how people get those insanely high end of game networths, do you have to go private market bonus only?

Any slow start is bad. You get farmed into oblivion.

You need to use same country name. Get notoriety for retaling and they leave you alone

It's not just that, it's that the techstarters are also ahead of me in land as well as tech, even the all-X ones. I have been hit a few times, I owe some retals, have taken 1.

Tech starts are better until everyone runs a tech start and tech is $2,000. Then the cash start will flex its strength.

Not many folks are looking to do what you are thinking. Coming from where you are thinking ( but lets make it from a true warrior perspective) You are going to be the one breaking GDI. It is interesting you are making that country and literally expecting people to want to break GDI?

2 questions:

Who the heck is suppressing the turret market, please stop selling 4m jets for $99

How is it possible that a country can attack me and then jump out of my spy ops range? I built high spal to retal with ops and it says I can't. That's dumb.

Yeah this really frustrates me now too. Stuff used to move on the market regardless of time of day, now with so few players dirt cheap mill can sit on the market for half a day and then suddenly the market is empty. Because it’s only 2-3 players buying significant amount of military on the whole server.

I think the wild market swings on non bot servers like team are the most exciting part of the game. It’s cool seeing farmer be super strong on sets like this and it makes every strategy at least have a chance at a great set. If the market is that crazy then demo techer reseller is a lot of fun.
