Anyways, I took the transportation upgrade because of the uncertainty of finding enough cash. I don't have very many bases near me, so I'm not really making much every time I get more moves. Basically all my money comes from the hills. I'll have to just start timing it so my moves come in one big chunk.

For as long as you can keep your attack low, you should be getting alot of money from the mountains/DB.

How much are you finding+stealing in an average day?

During January, I posted weekly stats on my progress, you can scroll back and take a look and compare; and/or just post yours.

Well, my earn is going up with more mapping, so I can only say that per day it was about $10. Now it looks like more.

I have another question. My stats are now 1-3-2-1-1. I have about $18. I will find enough to upgrade stealth or fort ($20 each) if I wish. Should I just upgrade my fort as much as I can now? Or do the security (10) and transport (15) upgrades instead?

So, which one first.

Fort
Transport
Security
Stealth

Always favor FT, if you can get it easily without worry about being attacked.

Upgrade SC on about a 1:2 ratio with FT.

Keep AT low for as long as possible, and upgrade AT:ST on roughly 1:1 ratio

Upgrade TR as your mapped area increases. You want to be able to attack all known (paying) bases in your mapped area every day and still have moves left to add to your mapped area. You maximize this by moving from mountain/DB to maountain/DB between bases, such that when your attack run is complete you have your full days moves still left for additional mapping.

Yeah, I upgraded my fortification, so I'm already up to 4 there. I always post these too late. I think my next up will be transportation instead of security. I guess I'll just wait a long time to upgrade my stealth again, I have come across maybe 1 or 2 bases I have been caught spying on. I don't have enough attack to hit them anyway.

I tried to attack a couple bases with the same fort as my attack, and I lost money each time, so I think I will lay off that. Do you have success attacking same fort bases? Assume low wanted level. I'd have to make up quite a bit to make it +EV, which I don't think is possible.

Anyways, I have my map on graph paper, does anyone want to see it? It's the SE quadrant, ranging from 200s-280s and 300e-370e. PM me for the info.

Forget about attacking when AT=FT, it just isn't worth it, unless you have no cash on hand to lose!

There are plenty of places to get cash, you don't need to worry about those bases where your odds of success are less than 100%. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

What's your attack at? Do you steal more cash from fort 1's and 2's? Or is it about the same as you got from 0's when you had an attack level 1?

FYI-My antispyware picked up two bots that WW tried to send me. It seems that lots of suprises await us on the grid.
