I assumed you did that!

I’m glad Ruthie got taught a lesson. She’s the worst of the talk downers.

+1 for unhinged lunatics

A couple things I have noticed looking at coop countries (not sure if an issue on other servers):

*Ally expenses are not zero
*Military expenses are higher than shown on the advisor page
*Food consumption and therefore net food doesn't seem to include med tech effects (or decay), so is different than what shows on advisor page

More of a suggestion, but it would be helpful on self-ops at least to have bonus levels, e.g. decay bonus level or building cost bonus level etc.

As stated that would allow a first strike by the original attacker for a retal. Not sure that actually helps.

But maybe combine zolag's idea with something like GDI where you could only hit and be hit once by another player. And maybe if you get hit first you're allowed to declare war on the aggressor with say +50% strength and returns for any attacks you choose, but you then open yourself up to the same.

Kingme likes to get around with allies

Strategically, express is trying to be everything to everyone who wants a fast format reset - versus the numerous long format servers available.

I see a few options:
1) Split express into a coop-style "netting" server and a "i live in mamas basement" losers server. Or, less ideally, just make it so that you can't hit non-NPCs (I don't like this because there are valid, legitimate reasons to hit non-NPCs).
2) Give mods the ability to restore a country to its prior state after griefing. That isn't as good as it leaves some discretion to the mods, but the cases of griefing or "griefing lite" (single taps on multiple non-NPCs with no legitimate way to better one's own country) are obvious.
3) Change the rules of engagement and/or GDI. For example, don't allow unprovoked hits on non-NPCs after Friday, and make any hits or harmful ops constitute breaking GDI.
4) Allow more defensive allies and have defensive allies become worthless if you break GDI.

Appreciate the positive descriptor of "competitive"! I wasted at least 200 turns and almost certainly 300 turns being an idiot and figuring out my plan along the way in my first set in 4-5 years. I guess very much in line with "mid" effort! (Even Slagpit, after seeing my statuses, thought I was full of crap when I said I was on track for top 5 with three weeks left. Might have been easier for him to assess if he had gotten more than like 4 ops on non-NPCs last set as our support country!)

But for this set, which countries are competitive and who the owners are is classified information. Except for Requiem - I'll tell him anything he wants to know.

Also, bonus post.

Sage commentary, as always =)

I disagree. But I'm not sure that counts since I'm not a Patron?

Seems like the bonus has been very deliberately built as it is. I don’t think farmers and cashers need any additional bonus help. If farmers or cashers could use this late set the winner would be determined almost solely by who could best maximize this one narrow aspect of the game.

A number of people did. Hash’s use of it was killer.

Congrats to the Ugos!

This isn't fair for someone to run 9 countries. Why are the mods allowing all of this cheating?

I know this isn’t exactly the right place to post, but seems like all recent resets are being tagged with a Jan 1 end date and have lost (or are not showing) the entire country history and attacks. Some of the war reporting isn’t working either. I very much have always appreciated using it and also get it if the developer has better things to do!

You would see the bomb banks in your news - you just would not know who did it if they never failed.

Congrats NitelL for another win! Total domination indeed.

And also congrats to Kingme for the new record for all-x casher and a top 10 finish!
