How have you all been? Maybe the holidays have you busy? Remember guys a turn used is a turn earned, so use those turns.
Maybe it`s your infrastructure levels? Go press that research button guys. I believe in you.
Buy gordoes? Buy all the gordoes. I saw some posts about gordoes. Go get em.
Worried about your base pr? Don`t be. You guys are pros. You don`t need easy boarders. You`re that golfer that makes your own tee set ten yeards behind the farthest placement because you need the game to be even harder. Your handicap is incomprehensible because you are just so darn good. So build up that population and leave the lower power ratings behind.
Life is about excess. Don`t listen to the news. You aren`t making your people obese by feeding them extra food. I suggest buying way more food than you need, more food than you can even hold. You know where the food above 2 billion goes when you use a turn and it disappears? To orphans. Orphans with cancer. Without you buying that extra food and wasting it those orphans would starve. You don`t want them to starve do you?
Listen... I`m not very good at math ok? When food price is at 10 or so I have a reasonable idea what I make (I`m pretty sure the formula is foodperturn*[(100/2-10)+(-3*10)] or something complicated like that). With food prices at 2 or 3 though I`d have to be some sort of wizard to figure out what I make per turn. Can I afford a fleet? Ore? Who knows.
You know those commercials about starving children somewhere in the world? Well those are basically the people of my empire. They are starving because they can`t sell all the food they make for a high enough profit. Why not let them eat the food they make you ask? Well I`m trying to teach them about supply and demand. If I just let them eat the food they made they wouldn`t learn a thing.
So look into your hearts, but mostly your stomachs.
Sincerely,
Slavyzz
