Omeg UW Normal

yes well Done Travis Dykes

Congrats on the UW success ... and thanks for the good discussion.

I sold minerals in January/March this year and novemeber from looking at my logs. On normal almost if not all active miners are tax and their massive racial makes enough mins to never need to buy some on the black market.

It doesn`t make sense for a miner to be a mineral miner to sell minerals on a slower speed server as they would make too much and their income would be dependent on demand of others buying it. Sure players would buy it, but you will eventually hit saturation. Plus with black market, mineral miner is kind of pointless if you can make cash elsewhere at a better rate of return. The slower the server the more you need to optimize your income, thus I would say generate more income as you said so you can buy bigger batches.

Actually, I see there were about 7 red crystal sales in the past year. I could generate more income and buy more when it is available. But it would be easy to starve me out with so few players. That`s just the way it is I guess.

My records show red crystal for sale 1 time in the past 14 months. (That was in November.) Some other minerals appeared more frequently, and if I had the credits I could have bought more than I did. So perhaps the biggest problem I see is the near absence of particular minerals. Next is the infrequency of sales. Are certain minerals of no use to miners? If credits are not needed, then I can understand there being no motivation to produce what you don`t need.

Think mm there is a black market now as well, can be used during UW`s

I went back through my own logs and found you buying small batches of 10-50k in minerals when the batch I posted was in the 100k or millions. Are you only buying what you need at that moment? Getting confused on how to ran is broken as I play one on fast just fine. Not trying to argue either as I`m trying to understand the issue

Is there a game log on mineral sales? I`d be interested in some statistics, like total sales per year, typical size, how long it`s on the market, etc. Maybe an admin could post something like that?

As I said, it`s not on the market ... for years. And I check multiple times per day. I just happened to miss a sale over 1000 times in a row? Hard to believe. I conclude the game is broken ... at least for Terrans.

congrats Omeg!

mins is 2B per mineral, I was maxed out on all of them when I blew up my empire on RT

@Think - I was a tax miner with 30 ish levels in mineral mining, I had over 200 bil in minerals stockpiled over the time on normal that I didn`t need to sell since my tax piece was making enough on its own. At times I would sell 50 bil stacks and a couple of players would buy it all out.

Anyhow, I would like to personally thank my fed for their support in cash, artis, and protection for this UW attempt. I would also like to thank AdmiralSarek for keeping the game lively as you did the most damage out of everyone. Ill post the data later on the hits, but I was pretty happy without the competition on this one.

the storage space was increased for cash (5T), goods (10B), food (10B), and mins (1B??) Someone please confirm the mins storage space.

How is it that empires can have more minerals than the total I have seen on the market over a multi-year period of time? This situation makes It impossible to win or prevent UWs.
