Teching Phase

Get your techs up too the following levels.

Cancel all research pacts and put up that extra tech for sale.

Converting to Farmer

• -Tear down all labs at once so the empty land can make extra bushels.
• -Build industrial complexes untill you have ATLEAST 1,500 - 2,000.
• -Build farms on the rest of the empty land.
• -Start selling food on private to fund the rest of the conversion.

Stocking

• -Sell food on private if bushel prices are below the public market.
• -(public price - (public price * 0.06)) = Price to compare to private market.

Here are some goals to keep in mind for a day 17 - 18 war.

• •Try to do one more 126 turns block explore to get to 9k acres
• •Keep land 20% indies, and keep tech levels the same
• •Cash: 200m on hands
• •Food: none on hands
• •Oil: 500k on hands.
• •Warfare: 1%
• •Cash turns to build SPAL and stock once on 9k land.

Rely on SOL leadership for war dates, and observe saved turn status to decide whether or not you should get to 9k land.

If you are going for a later war around day 19 - 22 keep these goals in mind.

• •Try to do two more 126 turns block explores to get to 10.5k acres
• •Keep land 20% indies, and keep tech levels the same
• •Cash: 400m on hands
• •Food: none on hands
• •Oil: 1m on hands.
• •Warfare: 2%
• •Cash turns to build SPAL and stock once on 10.5k land.

Rely on SOL leadership for war dates, and observe saved turn status to make these decisions.

Switching to Either a Dict or Tyranny + Hitting and Wargaining

• •As SIG, your job is to spy. Let the other countries do the breaking because your country can only fund mid breaking at most.
• •Change government to Tyranny if you want to grow by exploring or grabbing, and if the enemy has low SPAL.
• •Change government to Dictator if you want to grow by landgrabbing the enemy, if you want a 30% spy bonus, and/or the enemy has high SPAL.
• •Spies are expensive, so any stock you have should be used to running turns/buying technology as you grow.

To grow as a dict you need to grab the enemy, and with its +32% bonus building capture rate, it is the best government to gain land.

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

• •Always try to grab a farmer to gain more farms as buildings. For instance grabbing a techer would give you labs, and you'd have to destroy those to rebuild into farms costing extra cash.
• •Regain readiness by spying and/or 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 around 20% industrial complexes at all times to support your daily spying and growth from grabs.
