Lazy Oiler

Introduction

A Fascist Oiler is a decent war strategy since they always produce oil with every turn they use. They are decent mid breakers during a war. An oiler is considered a risky strat because oil prices are unpredictable and have no bottom line. I call it a mid breaker because you need to share the oil you produced for hitting and selling for cash. Using all your oil to break will bankrupt you for the next day. Its -15% maximum population bonus will allow less hits to be needed to kill a fascist. It can be made up for with bus/res tech. The 2 turn government fires less missiles off as well.

• -Build 20 CS (60 bpt)
• -You should have — 220 CS, 1350 Farms, 300 Indy — Close to 1900 total acres

Conversion & Finishing

• -Build 180 Indy (600 total indy)
• -Convert your remaining Farms (1,650 total farms) to Oil Rigs either 60 or 120 at a time

Remember you'll have to buy food at some point.

Sell just enough Oil to run turns.

Stocking for Day 12 War

• •When you reach your final land, stock oil.
• •Cash your turns to build your cash and oil stock.
• •Buy SDI.

When war breaks out, dump your oil stock.

As war progresses and your oil is selling, get the following techs to these levels:

Stocking for Day 17-18 War

• •When you reach your final land, stock oil.
• •Cash your turns to build your cash and oil stock.
• •Buy SDI.

When war breaks out, dump your oil stock.

As war progresses and your oil is selling, get the following techs to these levels:

Business and Residential techs are economic techs to offset the negative PCI and population bonuses. So focus more so on the war techs if war is coming sooner than expected.

Hitting and Wargaining

At first, let the techers do the breaking. You should midbreak/finish for at least 2 days so you can destock your oil for more cash to get military and techs. As oil demand sky rockets, you should definitely be rolling in cash. When techers start losing there stocks, it will be your time to shine as breaker. Of course if you can afford to go big early, go big early!!!

Fascists rarely fire missiles because of its two turn attack, and that is why we researched little warfare tech. For readiness, if there is demand you could buy some spy tech and spy the enemy for WCLs.

To grow as a fascist, you can either explore for readiness and build, or you can grab the enemy (which is faster).

Here's a few tips for effectively grabbing/growing:

• •Always grab a farmer or oiler to gain more farms/rigs. For instance grabbing a techer would give you labs.
• •Regain readiness by building the land, but dont grab too much or else it will weaken your SPAL and techs too much.
• •Search for countries half your networth or bigger that have been hit 1 - 2 times max. Try doing 2 grabs a day 1 SS 1 PS at the end of your turns.
• •Try keeping your tech levels the same and always have more rigs than farms.
