99+ day(s) ago | 20+ uhh, 23 perhaps? |
Conquers
99+ day(s) ago | i know that spliting my research into industry and mining has worked out pretty well. albiet that your first C3 must have decent land |
Gilead
99+ day(s) ago | define a bunch :P |
GradualIncline
99+ day(s) ago | already have a bunch of infra levels in mining, don`t want to switch now. |
Gilead
99+ day(s) ago | Gradual: CG miner will make continous money on Fast, not many CGs selling lately... |
Deiloche
99+ day(s) ago | At least one or two get rid of the excessive cash. More than that is just fun awesomeness. |
GradualIncline
99+ day(s) ago | really? Well, then they should all UW, then I won`t have to worry about them :P |
grantweep
99+ day(s) ago | there are a few really big mineral miners on fast and prior to the UW minerals were selling for around 500 each :P
I`d suggest diversifying a little and consider going tax or cg in addition to minerals :P |
GradualIncline
99+ day(s) ago | Meh, great thing about the turn based servers, I`m going mineral miner, land size is unimportant :P infra research however, is. First I`m rebuilding my empire (lost some C1s while fighting) then finally getting the Lictor, then on to mining infra :)
Just curious though, are there any mainly mining empires in Fast? I just know that my minerals have been selling pretty nicely since I started up, but that might have been because of the UWs. |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | And another secret most new players won`t realize unless told: the only one allowed to make artifacts during a UW is the UW maker himself. Yes, cap lab works for UW maker during a UW, and thus can make BTC or whatever else he needs |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | And digging particularly (and exclusively) around the times of 6:30 and 7:00 PM too by the way. |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | "2nd and 3rd uw arent really taking away resources so dont see how its killing anything."
I`d have to agree with Africa. After the 3rd UW, even the UW fed pretty much loses everything. Then the high income empires start making their money again, and then the imbalance starts anew....over and over again.
If you`re new, the only way to even out the imbalance and become rich and powerful is first research a LOT, then dig A LOT, then build up a c3 from scratch clustering first really good planets, then decent planets, then crabby planets. Also, exploring only for the first good c2 and 3 or 4 c1s and then fighting for borders from then on. If you`re lucky, you`ll get some nice wins and build a huge juicy cluster, but even without c2 wins you can build a good c3. |
Atreides
99+ day(s) ago | problem is there are not many established empires on fast or not that active and most are supporting. look at the rich list pretty much on there got strong empire. |
GradualIncline
99+ day(s) ago | yeah, but those more established empires aren`t fighting for the most part, so us fledgling empires need to step up to fight. |
Aacra
99+ day(s) ago | if you havn`t finished researching your ships, you dont really belong fighting a UW, your turns are better spent researching your ships and or infra, leave the fighting to those that have until you`ve at least got your ships and 30-40 infra, only takes a few weeks or so anyways |
Infernal
99+ day(s) ago | at some point you realise its much more efficient to just let go :P |
GradualIncline
99+ day(s) ago | lol, what about those of us who`re trying to stop the UWs before we were even given enough time to finish researching the ships, let alone set up a very efficient economy? :P Another week before you guys had started the UWs and I wouldn`t have had the financial and ship troubles that I did, not that it would have changed the outcome, I`m just stating it to be difficult :P So who`s next for the Boom of the server? |
grantweep
99+ day(s) ago | It`s not a big deal. If you spend your turns investing in your income and infrastructure it shouldn`t be anyways. Seeing as how UWs are an inevitable part of this game: how you make your money is more important than how much money you have ;) |
Snafu
99+ day(s) ago | Who says 3 UW`s is not a big deal?
I`m down to under 1000 units on all resources and I am in debt from my last attack.
Someone please make it harder for UW`s to defend themselves. Lower their hull ratings or something. So many UW`s in one week is just not-smart. |
nickel
99+ day(s) ago | X = boom X = boom X = boom 3 times :) its not a movie but it was a good show, congrats Gilead |
