> PLEASE DO NOT POST ABOUT HOW FAM BANK IS BETTER... THIS IS ABOUT TEAM BASED STRAT.

Ok...

I say in a fam of 15 you have something like this:

Team 1
2 banker/pop, 1 resourcer/opper/retaker, 1 food/attacker.
Team 2
1 banker/cf, 2 resourcer/opper, 1 food/attacker.
Team 3
1 banker/pop, 1 resourcer/opper/retaker, 1 food/attacker.
Team 4
2 Bankers/cf, 2 attackers/res(1 iron 1 endu)(Both make food),


This is obviously only for ideal circumstances. I want to hone in a strat and eventually try it out. Anyone want to give me some advice. I don't like Fambank... It works only when the entire family is completely willing to follow and be constantly active.

Any suggestions?




as for an ideal fam of 15 i would say

Team 1
2 cf/to bankers/2 attackers

I believe this is a good choice because cf bankers usually are able to grow faster early on and support their attackers. Once they convert to cf/to's they'll be making mass amounts of money. The attackers will most likely be large attackers and thus be able to make rez. Etc.

Team 2
2 cf/to bankers/1 resourcer/1 attacker

Again, same idea with the bankers, only 1 attacker and 1 resourcer. The resourcer is able to produce the food and rez as is the attacker (more focus on rez) or even food on attacker and all rez on resourcer. Bankers should make enough to support them both, and then have extra for savings.

Team 3
2 cf bankers or pop, 1 resourcer, 1 small or medium attacker (if small attacker, push 1 banker to team 1)

this is where activity drops or the semi-active people are. Pop are much slower at the start and boom about halfway to 3/4 expo phase. the pop banker should make enough to support both resourcer and attacker if the attacker is small. If the attacker is medium then the cf banker may be needed to pick up any slack at bor. Then, depending on expansion and what not, the cf banker can move to team 1 or where he is needed.

Team 4
1 pop banker, 1 small attacker and 1 resourcer

pop banker can support the small attacker and resourcer at first. Simple team work really. Resourcer and attacker send stuff to pop banker after building 50 mf's and 10 rs. then go from there tongue

this is has advantages and disadvantages obviously so.

Fam bank is handy for jumps and for when you need alot of aid sent to a person at once. IE jumping 3 attackers at once. Hell, it's also good for people who are busy in rl.


Fam bank pros:
1. Ideal for jumps
2. ideal for problems that can occur in rl (should someone be busy with work and can only get on to send aid, at least the aid is able to go somewhere specific rather than, "do I send to opper or attacker? or both?")
3. Should be switched among the 2-3 most active people thus the following point
4. easily able to counter savings ops (soon as you see ops you can send it to someone else as OrBit did with me once when his iron was opped)
5. As the person above said, an advantage to have max liquidity of assets invested in those who need it at once rather than someone wait for their banker to get online.

Fam bank cons:
1. Don't put all your eggs in one basket
2. lack of activity
3. should the fam bank person log off with the bank...X(
4. Lots of shouting and yelling and cursing should the fam banker not be on irc or msn or on at all

Team pros:
1. Most active team/most experienced evolves rapidly
2. more communication
3. Easier to figure out who gets planets (your banker dur)

Team cons:
1. Most active team/most experienced evolves rapidly
2. lack of activity etc. can't count how many times i've had to support team attackers as an ss resourcer due to their banker not being on (and because of that gained a large number of planets from gratitude big_smile)
3. Easier to op (at least fam bank makes them keep guessing)
4. lack of ability to jump at once (you get your support in waves rather than at once which is easier at once since you'll have the highest con bonus at that time) Sidenote: it is better to get it at once, but sometimes helps to get it in waves to infra whore more.


and i can't remember anything else atm
