so bankers do 70/30 build of CF/TO. even non TO peeps build the TO at start by changing race to one with TO if we dont have TO in our race. then change back after building 7 TO. raise farms 1 tick before TO complete construction. then wait one day after TO come in before building is the best way for Sor TO Start?

during the 1 day wait while collecting cash the TO peeps must buy food right? and after the one day then what? go to regular building is my understanding. as well as this:

The numbers you're looking for are 5 or 7.  The difference really comes down to how much endo you need for the rest of your fams build.  More endo needed, spend less on TO's.
I think also it depends on how long until that player gets built.  If you aren't going to build for x period of time, build the extra's, because the tiny bit of extra income you get (while it shows 200%, that is incorrect because of phantom building, so there is a solid difference between 7 and 5 TO) is worth it over the longer period of time.
If you're only going to have the TO's for a day or 2, just build 5, you miss out on a few gc's a tick, but not for long enough to matter.
There were posts made by smarter people than me, who actually work this stuff out and know the numbers, but those posts are gone now ;(
This should do ya however.

its ok.. mebe like to add space amazement for the expo's?

May your aim be true and don't forget to duck

I didnt take SA since I'm guessing there won't be anymore planets to explore once I leave virgo and join the new galaxy.

ok. so i change the race before round start to one with TO, then build 7 TO and change back to non TO race if thats what i am. and i only build TO if i have a positive income bonus or a 0 (none) bonus.

sticking strictly to the standard TO Start plan i have no business building TO if i have a negative income bonus in my race

"You are stuck with the one you choose at the beginning."

you are not stuck before the start of the round. during the time waiting for fams to fill- there is the box at the top of HQ which contains the "change your empire info" link. its the link we use to change our names and add tags. we have the option to change our race with that link during that time when in galaxy, but before the actual start of the round.

1) every time you post you say something stupid

forgive me Archangel. i began this project before we formally met. it is my intent this thread help n00b1337's such as myself- whom have skillz and want to learn more, but know we are n00bs to wise ancient ones no matter how great our skill. it is also for 1337's to raise a new generation of self-educating players as well as to add skillz to our own powers.

the old writ knowledge was destroyed or vanished with the destrucion of the old forums. in it's place was a blank. now there is something where there was nothing- and it is useful.

i seek only to recover and increase the knowledge of old and new ways, and forge it to it's most current best; state-of-the-art. and i tried to have as much as possible of the knowledge formatted in one thread for ease of finding- a sort of IC College thread for old and new players; thus a lab experiment to accomplish the aforementioned goals. (see also 1st thread post "Epologue" writ at bottom of "Illuminati" thread's 1st post.

losing some income percent yes. but an overall gain in personal income that may be added to overall fam funds.
having enough resorces is the easy part compared to having enough cash. so i dare the question is "is it worth it?"
in over all fam planning i think yes. it is worth it for that extra cash- regardless of the -30% bonus means used to obtain it.

you couldn't lead yourself to the bathroom maggot. if you'd been paying attention you'd have seen the subtle shift that took place while you were pzzn on your swollowin' self waitin for your dinkus chance to slam me.

nice point- now pay attention nerd

Kinda stopped reading when he said cfs as attacker... Was hoping it would mention they are fo bankers at some point but then it becomes one of 5 billion different start strats which pretty much change with each round in different galaxies due to
1) different number of players
2) Different starting resourses
3) Different levels of co-ordination between players

If you cant improvise a start strat based on what you are dealing with, no point using someone elses to the dot cause you will screw it up once anything out of the ordinary happens (and no start strat goes perfectly for more than, umm, i dunno, 5-6 hours [and thats kinda pushing it]).

If its just a general playing guide, I think people are better off learning of the guide . Or the FAQ. Cause impossible though it may sound, those seem to be a better teaching tool than this .

what a crap strat.
