I enjoyed our battle Sir Balin

In the future if you see a large group of hippos 🦛 who are so hungry they tell ya twice .. and they’ve got a stockpile of missiles and a mountain of cash, maybe it’s best to just move along.

I miss posting bonus posts

Apparently now he’s back,

That shouldn’t be allowed, I saw he was purple and I couldn’t hit him so I played a bunch of turns, and now he’s UNpurple and attacking me 🤦‍♂️

Awww my friend left?

I seem to have a knack for causing people to self delete

Yes I need tech allies and def intel as well

Send me a msg someone

Nice. That’s cool

Boom goes the dynamite

Definitely it is round one of classic

Congrats LB on a great win 🥇

I think it’ll be a positive change

Just from a common sense perspective of what’s allowed and what’s not allowed

Practically it makes sense for gdi to block a small country from attacking a large one, but at the same time to allow the small one to still try spy attacks

👍

👍

Nice

Does steal tech actually steal tech or nah?

Another thought since you’re making changes..

Can we get some more incentive to leave gdi please ?

Increased attack gains or larger humanitarian window or something ?

Can we change the way you determine whether a spy op is a success or failure?

Cuz you can have amazing spies and good spy tech, strong allies and still get wrecked by someone tiny with very little land and a few spies 🤷‍♂️

Couldn't agree more, retro everything is comin back around, retro gaming too

Just need a better marketing scheme, there's a market for everything, there's even a market for pet psychologists

Maybe the game should work on getting a better/easier sign up process? and could add a bonus/free premium credit or somethin' for every time an existing player recruits a new player or somethin' like that ?

When I play Indy or Farmer I'll often take 2-3 turns to sell my goods at this stage in the round, instead of selling everything at once It's worth it to try selling 1/3 's at 3 different prices

making only spy ops not subject to humanitarian rules is a fair compromise for sure 👍

Perhaps some kind of an Earth University to help new players learn the game or simply some better ingame explanations of what is happening

Lets use the scenario above where you are new and you get farmed by someone who jumps out of range

When you try to Retal you get a basic generic message about humanitarians which is vague and doesn’t properly explain what has happened

Perhaps if the new players understood the challenge they face with better ingame explanations that help them understand what has happened? Or if they had a simple straightforward way to figure out what has happened rather than going to post on the forums?

Personally I don’t think the problem is the game mechanism the problem is in the communication and lack of explanation

Starting with 80 turns is a great idea!

Also if you could make it 50 or 100 free acres per day instead of 20 would be cool 😎

The humanitarians thing I think is a bad idea because it’ll just lead to mass farming of the small countries .. I’ll play a fascist farmer and just SS tiny countries all day long.

I also think the PS changes are a bad idea as well

5 PS limit is fine and the current rules for humanitarians are what makes this server better than the other servers in the first place

Some of us have too many fans to use a recurring name

Although I’ve often advocated for your forum name to show up in the country search ingame

🤷‍♂️

Onus

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

CI usually wins, start fast, get fat and hang on till the end

Boners

Bonus

I need tech start allies and it looks like I also need a defence and intel ally as well

Thank you :)

Congrats to the rest of the top ten finishers

Woohoo I win this round!

Fart

Woohoo I won last round

I put just over 6 million jets up for sale at $100 each yesterday and not a single one has sold in over 18 hours on the market

Just crazy, I’m going to switch to all turret production and just sell them on my PM so I can run turns

Hopefully all the other Indy’s do the same and the market will go back to normal after it runs dry

I think I’m going to have to start hitting all the big players soon

Force the cashers and techers to buy jets for retals

Bonus

I’m sure a bear would eat egg sandwiches all day long btw

Onus

10th pick hopefully they can get a big ugly O lineman

I thought 2025 was going to be the year of nuclear world war three and figured I really would be starting my own country fo real

Bones

No

Unicorn

My D is usually pretty hairy

The prices earlier on and the empty market will have really killed the demand for bushels

As a big farmer you really need to do your best to keep the price of bushels under 80-90$ otherwise the other big countries end up building their own farms

I bet if you spied on every commie over 30k acres they all have their own farms now, which means you’ll be lucky to sell very many bushels now for the rest of the round

Sounds like a great idea

The forums would likely be much more pleasant without crazy Cath spouting his nonsense 🤷‍♂️
