Great info Playbabe! Thanks! There's a HUGE nerf of the Elite attack plane in those stats! Stack 4 of them with an ASF (which I liked to do), and the ASF will only take 10% of the damage. It used to take a lot more than that.
My usual units by Day 5 are level 4 ICBM. This is made possible by all the +75% gold offers I'm getting. I no longer need to think to play this game. I just watch for the next +75% offer. It's great!!
Try this on BG USA. It was great fun! Line up a friend. Jump into a BG USA map. One guy takes a West coast state. The other guy takes the East coast. Set truce period. During truce, both guys take all they can get until they cross the 1,000 VP threshhold. You don't want to win the game just yet. Then, have the fight of your life! We did a 30 day truce. No chem/nuke research. Spies OK. When he gave up, we formed a coalition. Instant game over. We both got coalition victory and the gold. The fight…
I could live with a limited amount of gold allowed. Up to 10,000 wouldn't bother me much. That's four loads of resources plus 800 for in-battle healing to demoralize the enemy.
The rule?? Gold use is forbidden. With this group, I would be willing to have the rule be on the honor system. However, having gold disabled would be ideal. That way, no chance of bickering and accusations.
I would like to play in this game...if there is a rule against gold. No one is more active than I am. It's virtually impossible to be more active than I am.
