2006-10-22 |  | GG/RT Hates tax based empires |  |
Prices
Minerals - $2,000
Consumer goods (which it seems isnt` working at this time) $15
Ore - $15,000
Raw Material - $4
Food $150
Again reasonable black market prices for everything but food. You think minerals are the only thing that scare new players away!! How about newly established empires going bankrupt because of high food prices. Or veteran empires no being able to play at all because once food hits a certain price they can`t use turns. And yes i`ve heard the BS` that the market will eventually adjust and foood will drop but more often than not it stays high for long periods of time. This game is extremely close to getting the big "FO" ! from me. There are allot of other games online now that actually give a crab about players opinions and suggestions and i finally found a galactic conquest clone as well. |

99+ day(s) ago | What are people whining about? food is about the only thing that doesn`t sell out in this game on a regular basis. Besides that, the only people who have to play tax are the Guardians who don`t need food anyway. Any other race that goes tax without realizing that you are susecptible to fluxes in the food price deserves whatever they get. |

99+ day(s) ago | ...Can you start a food based empire on ultra? I`d love food for that price... lol. I think I`ve forced the market to stay at 19 for a few months now... and by `forced` I mean that I don`t use turns if I can`t get food at 19 per. :P It would probably be 25 if I used what I`m capable of... actually, when I was using all my turns every day, I emptied the entire market routinely... :( |

99+ day(s) ago | Due to my kind heart and soul, i hereby declare that i will sell my food for 15 each when the average price is over this. I know its not much (would probably last TBK 10 turns) but its something ^^ |
Deiloche
99+ day(s) ago | ... things are pretty bad when I`m agreeing with TBK. The majority of people posting in this threat probably have to use a calculator to multiply by ten. Learn to think before you speak, guys... the numbers are right there, shhh... and eat em. |

99+ day(s) ago | Cause Viral ahve better agri mod? ho and sorry if viral cant use U class...they are already overpowered..poor viral who cant use U class and their cluster suck with agri...I never cry about that food prices or thing like that, you should do the same... |
TheBlueKnight
99+ day(s) ago | why miner can`t? Seems it be easier for miners to grow food than virals
Miners get bonus for cluster types to ag and also can use ferts
But i would quit this game before restarting my empire so you can keep that wet dream to yourself.
Don`t worry though if things continue to be unfair i "will" equalize the equation. |
Parasite
99+ day(s) ago | ho cmon TBK :) Viral can switch to agri, while miner CANT...or if you not happy about food, just restart as comm viral;) |
sumarian
99+ day(s) ago | agree with tbk on this stockpile not being big enough. Totally stocked doesnt last me a day. |

99+ day(s) ago | oh Terran can Tax but they have to be a Food Terran to lol.... they make big money that way... & you are wasting your time T.B.K. |
Ang3l0fDeath
99+ day(s) ago | 20 food price is totaly alright with me.... even as a Tax Empire... haha at viral it kills them just about... but thats there problem |
TheBlueKnight
99+ day(s) ago | You have no idea what you talking about. Your the same people that say miner and collective are easy "you just need to know how to stack" but you play viral or terran. Yes tax viral should be difficult not immpossible
Stock piling food - Max storage is 2 billion and only last me approximately 600 turns
No consumer goods available to compensate for high food prices
Tax viral makes negative income when food over 17
I don`t even know why i waste my time making suggestions though it`s not like anyone in a position of power cares of gives a crab! |

99+ day(s) ago | GC/RT is great. I was a tax A.miner. I made $11.8mil a turn and spent a few million of it on food and goods. Once you stock food and Cgs at 2bil each, you can survive for more than a few days without buying anything on the market. |

99+ day(s) ago | GC/RT Does not hate Tax Empires, Just whiners. |
Darkshot
99+ day(s) ago | no, at least 30 |
EvilLoof
99+ day(s) ago | food max prize should be 20 |
AlphaCentauri
99+ day(s) ago | well i dont believe in losing money or not being able to use turns at all cause of food prices... even a 0 profit or even a very low insignificant income would be nice... food prices should never go up so much as tax based empires lose money |
Deiloche
99+ day(s) ago | GreyArea... not sure if you`ve played a big tax empire? But... I don`t have one on RT, but I know that I can burn through max food in under three days without using all my turns. On ULTRA. On RT? I`m pretty sure even tax empires way smaller than myself can burn through max food storage in a very short period of time. So your `food stockpile` concept is a bit off... :( |

99+ day(s) ago | im pretty sure there are enough food producers to keep it low |
