or just stay so i can farm

i think so too ;-)

Guess so! Well I'm surprised that I made it quite simply to the first spot: the jump was for 90% self-funded (!), last tick aid from fam member allowed me to get another million soldiers!  (as can be seen in the rankings that Shumi jumped as well). Just playing the market a bit and using excel.. (before jump I had 1.8mln nw)

And of course, a NW jump might be boring and might not represent all aspects of this game, but it certainly captures a few of these -especially for fams not heavily fighting in a war, or when you just don't have time to fight a lot (like most of our fam, including me). Preparing a good jump constitutes also of different aspects and even without fam support I could have ended first place (up from place 20-30 or so).

Funny thing is thus that a family which didn't even get into one real war the whole round (ofcourse there were some grabs, war declarations, but nothing really big) can actually win a round (measured by NW)!
Question is then; is this a result of smart playing the game or just shortcomings, how this game is played (i.e. lots of pnaps and core clausules) and designed (i.e. too much planets, not enough players p/galaxy) or just lack of the average skill of the current players?

(Note: I didn't play this game for at least five years (back then played as DemoSquad) besides some small changes the game itself didn't change much- but back then winning the round on NW with being self-funded would have been impossible, even with some of the top-fams in a war!)

who cares demo?

anyway, size matters, nw matters, score matters, each player can deside who gets the the most votes in when we start voting!

hehe, the standard comment of people who don't jump but instead did some bad planning and ended up in war the last week/weeks before EOR.. and even if you feel happy by being in the last tick in war, be my guest! Cause I don't bother ending up first in one of the rankings!

Small note: such long wars.. usually way too costly, definately overrated if you're playing on more economic/rational grounds.

this is a CONFLICT GAME how are wars not the main part of conflict? please explain

Demo be proud you didn't fight anybody this round, you won nw... Size and score matter tho -_-

tryme i'm kinda disappointed you never cancelled on us :<

i had stuff saved up to jump 2m+ agent to nuke you

nuking sucks

Who says you know what its about? What if some players play to only avoid conflicts and only get high NW? Its a conflict game more than a war game.

conflict = fighting, if you win = planets, planets = more space to build, more space to build = more nw and infra and eco = you pwn and win.

simple really
