Go!

I need allies. same old same old, tech start, go farmer, sell food, profit, buy turrets have big D energy allies

Same same, tech start, allies please.

Pretty sure I have 2 allies lined up for full set techer, looking for a 3rd tech ally

Rep cash tech start allies needed!

same, looking for Def and Int allies

@Vic I sent you a message on Discord. I'm teching as well, looking for allies.

haven't played primary in like a decade, tech starts the way to go?

Yes, welcome back Havoc!

anyone needs 1 more def & intel ally?

I am looking for 1 more. No wars this time, is the plan. :)

My ally got deleted so need def and intel...

When you guys do Indy start commie indies do you also take into account population growth since it is tied to production like the cashers do?

I do not think it makes enough difference, that the focus would be much different than my usual pure indy start up. That is getting to 135% indy. then getting bus and res to 115%. And then getting indy to 150% before working on the others techs (unless of course you find some real real sweet deals).

Might be 9 years since I ran a pure indy start, though :)

Depends on the tech market too. Last set was a rough tech market for buyers, great for sellers early. This set is the opposite. When you're a commie, that tech effectiveness bonus is massive, and you don't want to run turns without improving your tech. So if there's no indy, yeah, you get casher techs or mstrat. A little goes a long way. It's a useful thing to get used to, for want of a better phrase, sacrificing your present for the future. "If I buy all that tech now my turns will suck and be hard to run but I'll have more money tomorrow because of it" is the only way to function as an indystart.

Could still use a DA/IA if anyone's open, in the top 20 now. PM if interested

I was suddenly banned from classic server.
But why? Did my account get hacked?
It said last played 0.4h ago, which is incorrect.
Weird. I didn't violate any rule.

No drama. But feeling bored as hell with the game. Happy to still be able to pop in and play all these years later though.

Obviously the player count ties into it. But mostly its just like, old. For me personally and I know of others this is the main case. Not cause slagpit did this or that, or LaF or any of the other happenings, or even the very low player numbers. But that definitely creates a very retrospective experience vs years past. It's just old though, mostly. Blessed to be able to play when the mood strikes. And hopefully something gives with new blood to new players. Can you imagine how fluffty this game must feel if you are a noob? Lol. Honestly. Some people rip the noobs apart. They should try harder to learn etc. But the issue for them is mostly the low player counts. Its not that fun or sustainable for getting going.

Feeling like 2017, its always in and out. Like eating the same meal day in and day out for years. Sometimes for some people it gets old. It isnt that it isnt a good meal. But yah....

Kudos as always the ones working on the game and keeping it hosted.

✌️

I think that overall it isn't as bad as it used to be. Express is always active and is a good learning environment. The Cooperation server exists as a safe place to learn the game. Players are pretty generous in ingame messages on non-clan servers and clans can help quite a bit for learning the game. The ingame help text is more complete and accurate than ever.

Doesn't mean that it's good though. It's certainly a tough experience on the Classic server but if anything that seems to be the identity of the server.

Its definitely not bad by any means more so just tired of it not a jab at the game so much as my own flow of iife. It still offers a lot of fun. In no way knocking the game though it may sound a bit as such. I know personally I have really enjoyed some of the work and changes implemented in classic! The game is especially lucky to have someone like yourself working at it. I often forget about the other servers lol. Always been a fav of this server.

The help texts in game are awesome. Very good info in some of them.
