Yeas I think KoH has it correct, 7 week cycle, round ending on:

Sunday
Friday
Wednesday
Monday
Saturday
Thursday
Tuesday

So next round probably ends Friday.

I like this because being up at 1am on Sunday isn't compatible with me getting up early for work on Monday morning :)

You purchased 10,786 Oil Barrels, for $3,451,520.
Some of these goods were purchased for a better price on your private market.

I tried :)

😎

i buying off private as none on public!

Too much alliance drama for me, I fled,
coop delivers me my daily bread,
a server I won't log in dead,
but after reading that War Dec from red
got me eager to hear Doug's retort
will he step up - be a sport,
or dodge AT and fall short?

I guess, in conclusion, If I had the spare cash I'd buy it for use later.

FWIW I could easily go through 10million barrels when I was playing e.g TC

As a Techer maybe less, but still several million. Especially, as nitell points out, late saturday when the teachers are all 2-3m break, and you farm them for cash and land for private market regen.

netcraft has confirmed this

not trying

good job!

   restart: always

?

Strat looked like it was a neighbour of ratski, even without looking at the triple threat of:

DH / Retal / Purple

lol, ggs

If ownly this thread had more spieling eror I would canturbary

Iargeu eee no such the enough defines th

RIP

didn't know that was premium only. damn.

v

im also old and have fluffty eyesight so maybe that s a thing ;)

yeah get a PC/MAC you paupers!

I dunno how anyone plays full time on mobile, I do it occasionally but it does my head in compared to a proper desktop windowed experience

INSIDE THOUGHTS UGO!!!

Bystander commentary - I liked that you basically had to plan it 3 days out when it was 24

b

Thinking more about these changes - which on the whole are fun, I'm a bit sad about #1 - I didn't think SS losses were a problem even when they didn't reduce with built land. (I'm still banging the drum for bringing it to express!)

I strongly agree with Gerdler's point that it makes #10 much less impactful.

Overall I feel like we are just going to see rampant farming, but maybe grabbing was too easy... gonna be an interesting set for sure!

You made MB's great again! :D

https://www.earthempires.com/...-again-53007?t=1722553646

Thankyou!

I wonder what strat I will be playing next set, heh.

I agree

It is indeed impossible to build a defense larger than the chip on some people's shoulders...

I think not losing bonus make it way too OP.

Trying to balance the number of acres you can use this for (ie how late you can leave it) with the bonus still available over the rest of the set feels like a difficult problem with no right answer that creates diversity in strategy.

Another option, as is, might be a total late set switch on a lower acre strat choosing to sacrifice any other bonus one might have benefitted from until that point for a significant change in direction (make TMBR great again?).

If you were able to keep bonus then I think the optimum switch would quickly get 'solved' and would be more line with the oil destock where there was little nuance and just a series of steps in the endgame to maximise net worth based on how much stock you grabbed over the rest of the set prior.

Don't get me wrong, I am a low effort ez mode player, I liked the Oil Destock. However, I think the game is better without it as it injects more chaos and variety into the endgame.

Yes, but not as well as I wanted the market kicked my ass at the worst time

Rules can't be hidden behind, they can only be played by, I can only assume you mean I'm hiding by making sure no-one knows who I am so I can war prep and blindsi.. oh wait...

You know full well I am not complaining about players who play "hard mode" go look up my primary news - you dont hear me saying anything about double/triple taps going on over there - those guys are hitting me because they are playing to win. What I am doing is expressing my opinion about players who don't play to win. Also, don't waste your time with the whole 'seething' thing. People can have opinions, and discuss the differences therein without it being an all consuming passion. Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

To be clear: bro dragged my rep casher ass into a fight with war prepped dict and still finished half my networth. By what measure was this guy even trying to win? Perhaps he wanted to be seen as biggest clown of the reset? In that case - congrats bro, you did it, dm me your address and I'll mail you one of those flowers that squirts water.

White knighting for clowns isn't something I had you down for, but whatever!

(see you all again next set ;) )

I'll take 10th :)

do keep up... :)

Aha, that explains it perfectly :)

Actually I don't, there are always people who end up there by accident (because B and C are even more dismal) and having not the slightest chance of playing a decent country, just wave their tiny dicts around a bit and go straight back down.

What makes it more pathetic its that it is obviously some cross server BS because there are very few people that play this game that would build such a pitiful country.

Here is your food aye, troll, chow down.

I was enjoying it until someone started prodding me with their tiny pee-pee.

I sympathise, it must be hard (no pun intended), though tbh I couldn't really tell...

1

I am grabbing as I didn't see any rule against it?

(bar the country name, too late!)

I'm in

The real skill is not getting purpled!

Nice work, I was well off the pace this set. Can't seem to get a handle on primary.

Maybe I try something different next set!

And for the proper thread now. Congrats to the surprise winner Nitell ;)
