Is anyone else getting pauses in game where it doesn't allow you to progress for about 30 - 45 seconds. Click on button doesn't work and eventually an ad pops up and then you can continue?

well why dont you donate enough money to the admins for their time and to run the services, maybe then we can all stop seeing the ads.

Thanks for all your help, trying something like it this round and will tweak as I go.

Sorry for all those that I hit last round, I did an Iran and just started hitting everyone around me to cause confusion and cause conflict.

So a double change in govt. Ok, have not tried that before.

The basic idea is to run all of your turns at the last moment and then flip to a monarchy and sell the bushels and then flip to a Theo and use the theocracy private market prices to jump. Most of those theos are either farmers or techers that jump at the last moment. Cashers will hold as much cash and food as possible to keep expenses down.

Just hit 40k acres and max tech by turn 1400 or so and start cashing from there. That’s likely what you are observing happen. Theo cashers are common on express. Reps too.

Techer needs to stock earlier. You run a high bpt (100 if I recall). Try running a lower CS count and stocking earlier. That slow start slows you down on express imo. You will grow a lot faster earlier on with the extra turns you will have. This allows you to capitalize on the early high tech prices.

Easier to resell that way too.

I see lots of players come out of nowhere in the last 4-8 hours of the round and jump 30-40k worth of NW. I just want to understand how. I do get that you need to hoard bushles and do a govt change, but just dont understand the timing, etc.

I do pretty good, but struggle with that part.

I know a ton of people that aren’t tough, nor claim to be. Without being “punched in the face”. Literally or figuratively which is what I assume you’re referencing here. Are you also one of these people you claim to be tough until you get punched in the face? Or are you ACTUALLY tough and only do the punching? If so, please tell us all how superior you are. Like a good narcissist would.

I would also like a time of day change of us non-US folks. It's challenging to wake up at the crack of dawn to only have 3 hours to finish the set. I know you guys think you are the centre of the earth, but hey, blow me.

Let's do better code...

public static function txtStrat($cnum, $settings)

$stratCode = $settings->$cnum->strat ?? null;
if (!$stratCode) {
return null;
}

$strategies = [
'C' => CASHER,
'F' => FARMER,
'I' => INDY,
'T' => TECHER,
'R' => RAINBOW,
'O' => OILER,
];

return $strategies[$stratCode] ?? null;

The game measures success by NW, you can figure that out by the way it sorts countries on the scores page. There is also that quaint old fashioned tradition of congratulating the person that comes first by NW, and also acknowledging the achievements of other players that finish in the top 10 for having done well.

However in todays day and age people can just identify as the winner, by deciding that the primary metric is being a chump, and then excelling at this, so that everyone can celebrate their "special" ability.

In fact we see, usually every set, players identifying this way. Some even regularly!

Maybe we could have a chump pride month, to recognise and include this diverse group of people, and their .. ehm... "contribution" to the game.

Chump pride month would be every month though...

Hi BaDonkaDonks. I just saw this. Not sure why it was originally deleted by another moderator. I think it was a "Fat Finger" deletion. Not saying the other mod has fat fingers. But when scrolling on the phone and modding... the delete button for the forum posts is in a spot that is just "not convenient". I will undo it. :)

Thanks galleri, appreciate the response and reason. All good!

We plan to push new players towards Express instead of Tournament which means that we cannot have two off days a week. Which of the following solutions do you prefer?

1) Leave Express as a 5 day round but reduce the days between rounds from 2 to 0. Each round would no longer end on Sunday.
2) Change Express to a 7 day round with approximately the same number of overall turns as now. Each round would still end on Sunday.

I would like 3-4 rounds each week over a 2.5 day period. Change up the end times, and some ppl prefer weekends, some weekdays. Bake the same amount of turns in - so new turns every 2.5 0r 3 mins, whatever it ends up being.
