How much land for the 400 bil Devari? Barracks are good for mice and squirrels, Foragers are good for hares and otters. Hares can go either way though. No way I would use otters with barracks. They drain way too much cash.
It ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

No, because food is still more powerful then.

Perhaps the problem is workers, not markets. What about simply allowing double the current amount of workers into tents?

That would be good. Cashers and mixed straters would be boosted, those who just use markets to suplemet troops wouldn't get much.

I didn't actually double the amount of workers a tent, but I did double the amount of cash the worker part of the equation gives.

It went from +$686,375 to +$1,041,460. Land division was Markets - 706 and Tents - 1,721.

That change rather favored workers. Which is probably a good thing.

How do hawks do with foraging?

How much more stronger can Josh get?

Not well at all.

No, hawks don't do well foraging. Devari, you've already implemented it?

No, I tested it on Dev.

I see. Speaking of Dev, I'd better get over there before I die of inactivity...

Has anyone really tried cashing? I mean using the hero that gives you 5X the workers. I tried it once when LO first got the FAF code and had some success. I didn't make as much as some players but I'm sure with a little tweaking it actually is a viable strat.

It's been so long I don't remember what my land division was or my tax rate but I'm sure someone could tweak it around and find a good mix for it.
I know the voices in my head arn't real but they usually have some pretty good ideas.
