I know it is a bit early but I hope you watch it carefully because I am a bit concerned that this may be an over nerf atm. Since building costs around 50k are what a 70-80k country had before you wont be able to reach 300mill even in a good set... at least not very likely.

This is also a problem for bottomfeeders since they need large amounts of land to compete for 1st. I believe this may make techer easily the best strat since the land required for it is so much less and a good techer can break 300mill as has been shown before.

Keep an eye on it at least please and thanks :)

you could always get FAed into t10 again like last set.

so does it really matter?

A good player can get 300m with any strat.
Land Traders just don't have it easy anymore, QQ

Funny seeing a Laf player being bitter about FA consider we did it every single set I was there at the end. I was close enough on my own so meh. If you read my post I also referenced bottomfeeders. Stop being a troll dude -_-

I haven't been around the past year, but speaking from experience, most of the time, it's FAing a member into t100 from 101st.

As posted before in other threads, LaF FAed Goku only as an insurance to make sure he doesn't lose his legit #1.

The building cost change makes sense, there's the building cost bonus if you want to land trade still.

You can't have your cake and eat it, then refuse to pay for it.

Laf has FAd into the top ten many times and 1st just two sets ago with Ingle winning.

The difference is including the building cost bonus which every trader used anyways. If a top trader should be around 260mill or so that means that bottomfeeders wont get past that point either. So basically the only strategy with a hope of doing so is techer. You can keep being anti landtrade all you want but trading is not the only one without a hope of beating a great techer now.

So, to keep someone from losing his legit #1, you FA him, thus making his #1 not legit?



Seems legit.

we haven't even seen one set play out yet!

That's why I suggested you just watch it carefully :P It was just a theory that I thought was worth putting out there so it could be considered at the end of the set.
