Okay, I get the 5 man corp make up (3 blue/ 2 red). and I can see a 4 man (2 blue/2 red) and 2 man (1 each). What about the best setup for a 3 man corp?

unlim or low turn, truce or no truce

mbbs or not?

the big question is the edit! does it favor building or cashing?

All of the above and... who's the competition?

and what did you eat for dinner?

Don't forget breakast, the most important meal of the day!!!!!!!


Seriously, see all above and wonder; "Gee, I wonder if them edits change how I should go about this?" Because they do, to sum up previous posts.

In other words: You have 5 choices with a 3 man corp. The edits completely dictate which choice to make.

And yes, we all know we have been of aboslutely no help at all in regards to your question. Welcome to tradewars. [:D]

With 3 players you have the following possibilities:

3 reds (all out cashing in an unlim to take the game very quickly)

2 reds 1 blue (some colonizing, but need cash to hurt the other corps probably a mid turn to unlim range game.)

1 red 2 blues (colonizing game - edits favor blues that have cash in a low turn game - could be MBBS)

3 blues (colonizing game - edits favor the builders)

k, be forewarned, I suck at turn game strategy so some of the corps that play turns should give you better info. Hoot Owl, Zep or Maggie would be good to get info from as I've ran into their corp a few times and they always seem to be pretty good.

I took a bit of a break from Tradewars and have just started playing some recently. RL requirements still has my time short sad to say so I have been playing solo. ICQ has been off for the most part - probably need to turn it back on since I formatted the HD and reloaded everything on this system recently.

you could always invite me to a game, since no one else will play with me

Laff. N+1 permutations.

A 2 man corp has 3 possible permutations of reds and blues.
A 3 man, 4
A 4 man, 5
A 5 man, 6 permutations.

This algebra lesson brought to you by the number e and the letters X and Y.

That said, even in edits where you should have 3 reds... if your guys are brand spanking new and can't cash you might find they're smarter to stay blue (and fedsafe). So sometimes your own corpies have to dictate the approach as well.

In an MBBS turns game you really only need 1 red once your cash planet is mobile. In an unlim, MBBS or not, you'll be dead before your ports are ready so just go for broke.

and we get a math lesson in "n x n-1" from Mr. Sing Sixth grade math...laff

Laff, 6th grade eh? n * n-1 would be 5*4=20. Obviously there aren't 20 permutations. Guess you need to go back to 6th grade, P-head. =)
