    BTW is anyone playing a Tournanment game as well? I've almost broke 200 on 8X.

    And yes, Jets can take land. It's great because you can launch a Planned Strike against them with only jets and then you don't even need to worry about weaker defense while they rest. Fortunately if they have no tanks or troops you can GS or AB them into the ground. In TEQ air units (fighters and bombers) can't take land though. Plus you need fighters to protect your bombers in attacks, which is a neat realistic element. There's a lot of silly elements too, like why they call all tanks Panzers, all troops Marines, and special forces (spies) SEALS.

Therefore I suggest that in the next round we build interlinking offensive/defensive agreements to maximize the Apolyton Clan.


          I'm all for it!
          But we should also discuss tactics & strategy - when to strike, who builds what, picking targets etc.

          In standard "A" my li'l county Castle Gobs is presently consolidating at 2000+ acres, building up troops and tech before we will expand again. From what I've seen in "B" so far, it's pretty easy to overextend.
          Sometimes a big landgrab will only attract attention and if you don't have the means to back up your bravery, it's one step forward, two steps back.

          In standard "B", Alamos is expecting the worst. Our enemies have announced that they are going to kill us. On top of that, in the last session we had several earthquakes and other natural disasters. And we couldn't get the extra 3 turns from the advertisement. Third time already that this has happened.

              Well all is well in the A game.... stats for myself and my 2 main def/off allies are:

              Tripartite Stats:
              Troops: 388k
              Jets: 680k
              Turrets: 1,400k
              Tech: 210k
              Missles: Reportedly more than 15.... but can't confirm that at the moment.

                Not in the same tourney! That wouldn't be fair (except in the Free For All, where it's expected).

                  Alamos is no more . Some top player decided to declare war on us, most likely he got my country number from that Swede guy who had already sent me hate-mail. So I simply destroyed all my remaining buidings and land. OmniGod, I sent you the maximum foreign aid that was allowed.

                  So, a question! Does it often go like this, despite instructions from above of what is morally acceptable? If the answer is yes, I won't play again!

                    Mmmm yes there are some aggressive guys around who like to fight and bully, although you weren't an angel either. But I haven't let anyone who I couldn't shake off after a while, either because he got too big to attack me (SDI doesn't allow that) or because I got some help. Begging helps too.

                        So with half of my empire gone after 3 attacks I wrote this one off as a learning experience.

                            I'm suspecting your love for the game is cooling down rapidly.

                            I ended at the 101 spot today, just short of the top 100 goal I set for myself. I made two landgrabs for 700 acres and I sold goods worth $135 million. (I had some backlog left to sell)

                            Things are looking good, the oil price firmed again, while the food price is stable while prices for tech points (on which I spend much lots of money) are falling.

                              What’s all this silence here? I’d like to have some people to listen to my boast.

                              Come on Ribannah, don’t these setbacks knock you down. Remember that there’s always the next game to revenge yourself.

                              Positively, tech prices continued their slide but negatively, food and oil prices dropped as well, so the one cancelled the other.
