I believe military and bushel prices are 3x PM price.

Congrats to ssj4goku17 for the victory. It looks like him and skol are just going to keep battling it out back and forth for the top spot.
Another honorable mention to Helmut for 100k+ land (again).

A few guys had record sets for themselves (Lawrence0485 and Aerohead), congrats to you as well!

Thanks! I'm curious what I would have done if I wasn't farmed for 1,100 acres.

Some loser named Kingme.

The all-x casher record was broken, Helmut was able to get over 100k again, and a few new faces in the top 10!

She was there

The last I checked he was running a 95% attack win percentage. Could have had more!

Looks like Skol and ssj4goku17 switched spots with 1 & 2 this set. Congrats to them and everyone else in the top 10!

I would suggest the earthquake protection first, then the rest on bonus turns (for express).

I somehow missed this, and have to agree it's pretty spot on.

A well played Fascist Farmer can still win, but most of the better players haven't been playing it since the most recent changes. There are still a lot of people still trying it, but they never understood understood the basic fundamentals well enough before, let alone now. They seem to think that if you just grab to 40k+ acres you automatically have a good country. Now with it being harder, they're doing even worse than before.

Scroll down to the express section. The PM price of bushels has been lowered to match the other servers, thus nerfing farmer a bit on this server.

https://earthempires.com/...set-27-53394?t=1740434036

"snack daddy" hasn't been an issue for me, haha.

And yet he does the same thing every set. So you actually didn't teach him, scare him, intimidate him, "stomp him", or generally teach him anything at all.

And where is this zero turrets nonsense coming from? If you carry zero defense and get farmed, that's on you.
I don't see anyone crying about that.

Along those lines, I usually recommend trying an all-x (all explore) strategy to get these basics down. Once you have those down, you can start focusing on getting jets and grabbing.

Most people on this server don't even have the basics down, which is why you see countries with 30k+ acres and they can't even crack the top 10.

A good all-explore (usually around 15k) that has the fundamentals figured out (Cathankins post), can easily get the top 10.

I think even a change to the game so that a single SS or PS to a non-NPC is considered breaking GDI (vs the current rate of 2) would fix a lot of these issues. I believe this is what you're saying in #3.

It would give more power to the person being griefed to retaliate on their own timeline instead of waiting for a multi-tap.

If anything, I think maybe an amendment to the rules for express could be made. However, it's hard to define "griefing" behavior. There are many examples and probably little agreement on what is or is not.

Congrats to ssj4goku17 for the victory. You managed to just squeeze past Skol at the very end.
It's good to see both of you back after an absence, and already dominating with the 1-2 finish. It was nice talking to both of you during the set.

To Ratski, thanks for your normal bad play and trying to blame me for your antics with Link. Maybe next time, send the message intended for Link where you blame me... to Link... instead of the guy you're blaming. I guess it's hard to remember country numbers when you're playing two countries every set. And why Link? The guy literally never bothers anyone? He never hits human players, and minds his own business. I don't even see him posting or responding messages, so you can't even get your rocks off by griefing him.

To the mods... this is getting embarrassing for you all. It takes very little digging to see Ratski and his "neighbor" hit the same players some sets. How many posts need to be made? It's been reported as well. Not to mention the guy screws up most sets and sends messages on behalf of the wrong country. Again, there have been multiple posts on here about it here and it's been reported.

I don't care if he is using a VPN to try and mask it decently, the fact that "they're" hitting the same players should fall under the "teaming" rule. Especially when you can clearly see it happens most sets, and it's not a coincidence. It's one thing to be a crappy griefer and just want to ruin other peoples fun, but at a minimum that should be limited to one country. I think it deserves a legitimate investigation and a legitimate response from the mods.

Hit the NPC countries (denoted in yellow in the scores sheet). If you hit a human player, you're asking for trouble.
If you're trying to learn the game, I'd suggest the cooper server. You can get in with a clan that can teach you some of the basics of the game.

Congrats to A-Rod for the win!

Yeah, I didn't get a tech sale in that I wanted because I thought the turn went through and it didn't.
I also ended up "destocking" earlier than optimal because I was afraid the game would crash. I'm sure others were impacted as well.

This C/I experiment has been fun. Definitely takes more time than I'd like though.

The thing is he doesn't have to admit it. The numbers show he doesn't know how to play the game.
And for the record, this isn't a net vs war argument. The numbers show he's equally bad at both.

He's basically played the 5th most amount of games of any human player. (using Top 100 as the metric here).
He's never finished Top 10 in NW in ANY round.
He's ranked 771st in Best 3 AVG NW
He's ranked 677th in Attack Success

I'd be happy to help teach if he was willing to learn and stop the bull fluff.

Our hero

Yeah, it's been said before. Apparently, it's just a bad joke at this time because nothing comes of it. I guess he gets two countries and everyone else gets one.

Looks like you're taking out some of the garbage. Thanks.

Congrats to nitelL for the 1st place finish.

I miss this

+1

Congrats Saphire!

I tried to beat the old techer all-x record and came up short. This was the closest I've ever come and I was still 3m short.
It just shows how good nitelL is and how impressive that country was!

Congrats to both!

My apologies to whoever it was that I hit (farmed). I admittedly searched up my advanced search and didn't check the NPC Only button at the beginning of the set.

I'm guilty of that.

I did that last set.
When the break is 50 jets and I can explore 6 acres per turn that's still a 36a gain with Tyranny ;)

Hey, I was a T last set and won!
This set I'm a T with even less land, but I certainly won't be winning. I was too busy feeding my fat self during the holidays.

Personally, I've found it pretty difficult to get to 50k by turn 1500. Granted 1500 turns isn't the absolute answer to when to stop, but it's a good starting point. I wouldn't focus so heavily on land if it's at the cost of not stocking. Different strategies require less land to be successful as well. You'd be surprised what you can get away with if you have great production levels (good tech, fully built, etc.).

What I'm trying to say is, don't be afraid to experiment and try 20k, 30k, or 40k as a goal and adjust your CS accordingly.

I'm not familiar with the mobile setup.

However, on desktop you need to go to the portal page. Then click the gear icon (in the top right). Select "Preferences".
Scroll halfway down the page and you should see: "Game Profile Privacy". Make sure both of those options are ticked on.

As of now, yours still isn't visible.

You would have won if it wasn't for those late hits. I feel your pain, that's lame.
I honestly was expecting you to jump past me at the end.

60k is impressive! You have your profile hidden so I can't see your country status to give any tips (if you even want any).

Thanks!, this was my first back to back win in express so that's something I suppopse.
It's a shame some good countries are getting taken out every set.

Holding onto them for their precious NW value!

burn

Thanks!

Haha, that's awesome.

I don't know what that is... but I like it!

Congrats to nitelL for the victory! Spoiled Saphire's attempt at back to back wins.

YOU ALL GOT BEAT BY A GIRL.... HAHAHA

Nah, he's just really really lucky.

It's been worse the past couple sets. There are some really bad players that have come out of the woodwork recently.
You would think getting leveled multiple times and out netted constantly would make them wonder what they could be doing differently... but I digress.

With that said, It's never wise to run no defense even with the safeguards of express GDI. As an all-x you can usually run pretty low defense since you won't draw the attention of higher acreage though.

There is an entire board dedicated to "Bugs" and suggestions.
Did you post this on that board?

Long time no see! It's like riding a bike, you'll figure it out.
