zsteelersman: hey gohar

Gohar: supertroup, u played before?

zsteelersman: super trouper is my 22 yr old son

Gohar: nice name, btw

zsteelersman: he has played before

Gohar: oh cool

supertrouper02: yes

zsteelersman: he is not as experienced as danny boy but is a great strategy and axis and allies player

zsteelersman: he will do well

supertrouper02: thanks

zsteelersman: super trouper

zsteelersman: here are a couple of reminders about playing well against good players

zsteelersman: #1

zsteelersman: Land is priority number one

zsteelersman: people will pay every last dollar they have to get a piece of land

zsteelersman: and they will try to trick you into thining they do not want to pay too much for it and then run up and steal it from you

zsteelersman: it is a trick

zsteelersman: if you have more money than they do

zsteelersman: run up to their amount at least to ensure that you get the land

zsteelersman: think monopoly

zsteelersman: if you bid $60+ more dollars than they have, they will also not be able to buy the next auction plot if there is one

supertrouper02: lol

zsteelersman: that is actually a good strategy

zsteelersman: #2

zsteelersman: if you get a chance at the first plot auction bid EXACTLY

zsteelersman: $972

zsteelersman: this ensures that you can catch the "rat" and put out a food mule on turn one

zsteelersman: it also puts you in guaranteed last place and allows you to assay property to try to get high tite plots

Gohar: does he know how to catch it?

zsteelersman: yes he has played some practice games

zsteelersman: you remember catching the rat from unoccupied mountain zones?

supertrouper02: yes

zsteelersman: he gies you $100

zsteelersman: ok

Gohar: no one else around

zsteelersman: early rounds produce ore

supertrouper02: late rounds tite

zsteelersman: make sure though that you are producing enough food and energy to sustain yourself

Gohar: what is purpose of food?

zsteelersman: often folks wont sell to you if you do not take care of yourself in that rgard

zsteelersman: regard

supertrouper02: time

Gohar: ya

zsteelersman: you need three food for full time on rounds 1 through 4

zsteelersman: four food for full time on rounds 5 through 8

Gohar: if u have 2 ore mules, 2 food, 2 nrg mules out, ow much nrg u need

zsteelersman: and 5 food for full time on rounds 9-12

zsteelersman: super?

supertrouper02: yeah

supertrouper02: 6

zsteelersman: gohar asked you a math question above

zsteelersman: no you do not need energy to produce energy

supertrouper02: 4

zsteelersman: right

Gohar: good

zsteelersman: if you have 2 food and two ore and you end up at the end of an auction with only two energy

zsteelersman: you may want to switch all but two out to energy

zsteelersman: otherwise they are unproductive

zsteelersman: be careful not to lose all of your food plots

zsteelersman: it is hard to overcome a loss of food if no one selld

zsteelersman: sells

zsteelersman: if you are in last place

zsteelersman: and there is some in the store

zsteelersman: you can buy it

zsteelersman: last place has first dibs on store bought products

zsteelersman: provided there is no fire

zsteelersman: fires wipe out all store goods

zsteelersman: including all excess ore

zsteelersman: also remember that buying land at top dollar is a good way to be in last place through out the game

zsteelersman: last place is a good place to be

zsteelersman: #1 first dibs on land grants

zsteelersman: #2 first dibs on store bought products

zsteelersman: #3 nothing bad can happen to you on your turn

zsteelersman: #4 nothing bad can happen on the procuction events

Gohar: max price ore is 230, max price crystal is 148. why do people sometimes decide to sell proudcts at less than maximum value?

zsteelersman: like an earthquake wiping out your mules

zsteelersman: that can happen in first place

zsteelersman: gohars question is a little advanced, but there can be various reasons to sell

zsteelersman: #! you are in desperate need of some money

supertrouper02: if somone else is selling then the price will go down

supertrouper02: on the next turn

zsteelersman: #2 risk of pirates is getting high

Gohar: talk more about piratres

zsteelersman: (Pirates can come and steal all tite up to twice per game)

zsteelersman: each turn they do not show up

zsteelersman: the risk of them showing up increases

Gohar: so most people will sell crystal for above 100 dollars

Gohar: not always, depends of course, on how much they want to gamble

zsteelersman: the "break point" for most sellers is $88

Gohar: and how much they need money

zsteelersman: if it is lower no way

zsteelersman: if it is at or above prob

zsteelersman: if above $100 dsell all

zsteelersman: sell all

zsteelersman: sometimes is if it is lower, but you will have the land buy opportunity

zsteelersman: you can sell lower

zsteelersman: reason #3

zsteelersman: to sell lower

zsteelersman: you want to be able to purchase the next land auction

zsteelersman: the game averages one auction per round

zsteelersman: the auction price opens up at $60 less than the last auction bid

Gohar: always keep eye on ur money flow..if u have high money flow u can aford to buy things..if its low, then build u ur ecnomonmy morebefore being too extravagant

zsteelersman: reason #4 to sell low

zsteelersman: the guy you are in direct competition with has a lot of ore and is trying to run up the price

zsteelersman: if you can sell all of your ore

zsteelersman: you can keep the price low not allowing him to capitalize on the ore

zsteelersman: if he has enough money however he can buy you out and not let the store have any

zsteelersman: then he gets double bous

zsteelersman: so be careful

zsteelersman: usually the magic number for mules is 7

zsteelersman: when the number of mules in the bin is 7 or less

zsteelersman: everyone will hild on to their ore and run a spike

zsteelersman: if there is any in the store

zsteelersman: those with money will buy out the store

zsteelersman: they know they can create a spike in one turn and double their money

zsteelersman: it takes two ore to make a mule so mule prices are always double a single ore price

zsteelersman: if ore is running $200 a unit

zsteelersman: a mule will cost you $400

zsteelersman: you have to add your outfitting cost

zsteelersman: $25 for food

zsteelersman: $50 for energy

zsteelersman: $75 for ore

zsteelersman: $100 for tite

zsteelersman: you start the game with four food and two energy

zsteelersman: grab a high mountainous plot if you can on your first turn

zsteelersman: they will be gone after first land grab

zsteelersman: then bid $972 for first plot

zsteelersman: you may not want to bid $972 if you are a rookie

zsteelersman: you have to play a very good game if you buy the first plot

zsteelersman: it is actually advantagous

zsteelersman: but very tricky to manuever

zsteelersman: when i was a rookie i got my lunch eaten many times

zsteelersman: tring to buy the first plot

zsteelersman: it takes usually about five turns to recover if folks keep ore price high and you do not get any $ from player events

Gohar: shall we start?

zsteelersman: bot:addai
