Fun!

I wanted to do something similar a few rounds back but didn't have the acumen. Being a weapons-dealer and using the profits for personal gain sounds like a fun way to play :)

Re: Removal of market/use of market for storage

Maybe it's just because I'm a noob, but with such a small playerbase, clan play doesn't really seem to be the center focus (except in suuuuuuuper fun rounds where some group tries to stop Sevz and his shenanigans and it results in a completely ethical performance by both clans).

That said, clans are the most reliable way to store/build up NW. My problem is, if I want to play Indy and feel like I'm not wasting time/treading water for the entire round, I have to store the fruits of each run's labor SOMEWHERE. Last round, that was the market, because it was there and I could convert it to NW. This round, I have an idea, but it's probably also not really in line with what Windy has in mind by not wanting to use the marketplace as storage.

The point I'm trying to make is that, because of the costs associated with keeping up an army (ridiculously expensive runs) and the threat of having food stolen away that you are storing for NW lategame, there are very few reliable ways for an indy player to build NW for the endgame in an indy-dominated round. As a result, it feels kind of pointless for someone like me to play indy for 2 out of the 3 months;  I can build up just about as much NW within the last month as I could have tried to squirrel away in the other 2 months, if there's no market on which for me to store it.

But, like I said, maybe it's just because I'm a noob who doesn't know how to hide/store/generate NW throughout the round. There's probably some secret technique that good players know, but aside from the tactic I'm going to be using this round, I can't really think of one.

How does the 'available mercenaries' work? Does it recharge over time, or over turns spent? Is it capped per your Networth?

Also, what is the ratio for determining mercenary prices? What's the golden ratio for best possible prices?

I love that he actually killed a stoat.

How exactly does worker count affect Foraging/Looting/general resource production? Is it ratio-based or raw numbers-based?

Trying to figure out the worker-tax combination.

Well, this last round makes me wish I had been around when the game was in its heydey. It would have been nice to have a third main party to fight against so there were other victims for the perpetual camping and onlining, but hey.

Learned a lot. Fear me next round - I may not have kept enough net to have a finish in the immort but I have a foolproof strat to DESTROY ALL.

How about a round with a public market, but no mercs?

I feel like that would mess with a lot of playstyles/strategies and make people reconsider their approaches, and would also give troop production more value.

But maybe I'm wrong. I think it would be fun, though.

You know what they say about winning the lottery. It never works out how you thought it would.

In this case, it went to better hands. We promise to cherish and love it in a way you never could :)

Hello. Yes, this is dog.

Nah, he gave me some tips and whatnot, but we didn't share land or resources or anything.

Redhorse would have been me, but I played poorly in the last month of the round and completely forgot about the reset so didn't even run later than like Dec 20 XD

It was a fun first round for me - I can't believe I missed most rats by under 1M :'(

Many thanks to Freya for listening to my ridiculousness and feeding me lots of moolah.

That better? I know PB changed one of its settings recently.
