Because they give a *2 multiplier for your networth, the largest multiplier--other than buildings and land which is only going to go up incrementally anyways.

That's because they cost 4x as much in production/price/upkeep... They clunky to use because they're worth 4 off/4 def points, so if you get attacked, you have offense dying, and if you attack someone and use the tanks, you're throwing away defense.

They also sell for almost 4x as much. 100,000 tanks at $530 isn't bad, especially when I'm making around 3200 of them a turn.

yes, they sell for 4 times as much, but you could produce 4x more turrets or jets or w/e. so profit-wise you're doing the same but the unit you're trading in isn't traded as much and isn't as practical to use.

also here's the last 6 hours
type avg price amount
Troops $129 255,717
Jets $150 1,614,467
Turrets $136 7,836,133
Tanks $522 145,398

see how much more of everything else gets bought and sold... also multiple $150 or $136 x 4 and you'll see it's a better rate than you're getting for tanks

I can show you why:

http://wiki.earthempires.com/index.php/Diminishing_Returns

Diminishing returns is a game mechanic which causes each attack to yield less land and resources captured. This applies to only Standard Strikes and Planned Strikes.

The diminishing returns schedule is thus:
Number of Attacks Gains Multiplier
1-3 1
4-5 0.8
6-7 0.5
8-9 0.35
10-11 0.15
12+ 0.10
Diminishing returns naturally wear off 24 hours after an attack was done, and can also be partly or completely removed when the victim does successful SS/PS/GS/BR/AB. Each successful attack done by the target will remove 1 attack of diminishing returns from them until they are back at the zero level.

Ghost Acre diminishing returns follow the same scale as diminishing returns, but they are only removed by time, and cannot be removed when the victim attacks.

meanwhile, the DR for this guy: http://www.eestats.com/express/country/7
is 148... because chief slapaho AB'd the shit out of him for a double tap

what's the question? it does whatever it says. if it says 105% you get 105 acres instead of 100..

ROFL Kith why did you attack QueerGuy? He never attacked you, he hardly has much land, and you never stood a chance to win that attack...

I don't even know how you can see who I attacked, let alone why I never stood a chance.

I sent 2 million jets at him.

I don't understand how people are breaking through my defense either with their jets when I've got almost 2 million turrets.

Wtf...

well, i can click news and search the news and see everything
but this site takes it all and makes it even easier: http://www.eestats.com

i dont know if you spied on him or not before taking a shot, but he probably had more defense than 2m jets can break. and in addition, he has the least land of like, everyone in the top 20... why would you go for his land?

well, there's also defensive allies to take into account... defensive allies can add, like, 50% to someones d. if you really do have 2m turrets youre not that great a target. 2m jets 2m turrets? thats a bigger military than i wouldve thought. do you have no tech?

I missed probably 200 turns from today but w/e... I don't think I put enough emphasis on research as I should have. It was costing me -1,000,000 monthly (per turn w/e) in upkeep...

edit: Also, when I left this morning I was at 5,200,000 networth so something happened lol.
