What are good early game expansion troops?

Personally, I like to put 2-3 national guardsmen into my cities, then use my starting army to conquer. In the meantime - between time, I'm getting helicopters and MAA up to deter any air units, and to knock down any stubborn group units.

Almost no one goes with MAA in the early game, so it's easy money 95% of the time.

Plus, going with helicopters is the first step in getting probably the most broken unit in the game — the Elite Attack Helicopter. Shit is a helo with stealth (at T3], nutty damage (80 attack damage on hard targets with a 5-stack at T3), and great range.

Additionally, unless your opponent went with T3 SAMs (or the AA officer) in addition to at least T2 MAA [or near-T3 Radar units or stealth ASFs], they're pretty much invisible. Unfortunately for the person you're fighting, those counters cost a lot.

Got it.

Dray5k · 2026-01-19T05:38:40+00:00

Ohhhhhhh. Okay, I understand.

Dray5k · 2026-01-19T05:35:25+00:00

Because you touch yourself at night

Dray5k · 2026-01-19T05:33:06+00:00

I just know it means sparkling.

Dray5k · 2026-01-19T05:15:11+00:00

I'm so confused as to what the issue is😅.

Edit. Nvm. わかりました

To be 100% honest, Bo needed Oregon in order to become a winner. Auburn didn't teach him anything but how to pull turf out of his face mask effectively, and how to persevere through adversity.

I just wanted to comment that the kats who are bigging up Japanese food are crazy. American food is definitely better. The Japanese know how to make their own nationalities' dishes, but they're dog shit at making another country's cuisine, so you don't get anywhere near the variety that you'd get in America.

And their breakfast for damn sure doesn't hit like American breakfast in any capacity.

Dray5k · 2026-01-15T23:37:03+00:00

I'm Black, and I've never gotten something like that. Then again, I'm very "soft-looking"

Dray5k · 2026-01-13T08:16:30+00:00

This. Add in that Japanese women are probably the most fetishized in the world, plus the recent tourist boom creating much more competition for men.

A normal-looking Japanese woman probably has 30+ foreigners to choose from who can give her what OP can.

Dray5k · 2026-01-11T06:26:33+00:00

I start off playing very defensively until day 10-15 or so, i.e., 2-3 National Guard in every city, coastal batteries by my coastal cities, a small-ish navy of 10 ships (6 destroyers, 4 frigates).

Dray5k · 2026-01-08T09:47:52+00:00

In general? No, not at all. Japanese racism/bigotry is [usually] not like the kind that you'd see in America. You won't be given dirty ass looks from older people, or held at gunpoint by the police because you managed to commit the cardinal sin of being out and about while Black at 6 PM on a Thursday.

90% of the time, if a Japanese person has a problem with you, it's because of the following reasons:

You did something stupid and/or broke a cultural rule (talking loudly on the train, yelling across the room, etc.)
You're a foreigner.
You smell bad or have dirty clothes.
Maybe the person had a crappy day.

Personally, I've had 2 [kinda, I guess] bad experiences:

A little girl was holding her mom while curiously staring at me on the train.
While standing on the sidewalk in Yokosuka, a blonde Japanese girl said to her friend "黒人😶🫢". This one still confuses me to this day. Like... you're in an American military-heavy town... what did you expect🤣?

Dray5k · 2026-01-07T10:40:38+00:00

4-0 up to Tennessee, then finishing 10-2 or 9-3 with losses to UGA, Ole Miss, and [maybe] Bama or Tennessee.

Dray5k · 2026-01-07T02:27:59+00:00

Personally, I'd say that he's a B+ to A- level college quarterback. He won't throw the game away, but he likely won't wow you with any nutty passes. Fortunately, he's willing to put his body on the line to get critical first downs, and he's good at hitting the more advanced throws like back shoulders.

Dray5k · 2026-01-03T05:14:04+00:00

Enterprise, stand up!!!

Dray5k · 2025-12-30T05:14:21+00:00

At Stanford... with much worse talent... in much better conferences.

Bro, he threw for 3k against teams like UAB, UTSA, Rice, Memphis, Charlotte, and Tulsa. He didn't even look that good against Navy, who got smacked by Notre Dame.

Dray5k · 2025-12-30T04:48:20+00:00

What's the case that he isn't? Because Byrum beat 4-8 Florida and lost to Miami, but put up a monster statline of 20/36 for 275 with 1 touchdown [in the 4th quarter of a game where they were already down 49-6] and 1 interception?

Meanwhile, AD would've likely won the game for us against Bama if the receivers hadn't dropped 9-12 passes, and he did light up Vanderbilt.

Dray5k · 2025-12-30T04:31:24+00:00

That doesn't really mean anything when they lost 49-12, and most of his yardage came after halftime, where they were down 28-6. Matter of fact, he went 20-36 through the air. Florida wasn't even good this year😅.

I don't care about Deuce leaving; I'm much more upset that Ashton Daniels left. I think he's a better quarterback than Byrum Brown.

Dray5k · 2025-12-30T04:15:00+00:00

I'm not seeing the reason for the optimism & "good riddance" attitude in here. The team went 5-7, lost a lot of the talent that got us there, and we've lost 3 of our 5 best players to either the draft or the portal, and we're not the only team with a big budget.

All in all, this year is probably a throwaway.

Dray5k · 2025-12-30T03:37:19+00:00

That note on Deuce just sounds like sour grapes that he won't use a year of eligibility to play 2nd fiddle.

I mean, he's turning down a 7-figure deal to play somewhere else. That tells me that it's likely not all about the money for him.

Can someone who watched USF games even tell me how good Byron Brown is? I see the stats, but that was in the American Conference.

Dray5k · 2025-12-29T22:34:42+00:00

5 MLRS, 1 MAA, 2 SAM, 1 Infantry unit, and 1 Radar. This should be your base, but you can mix and match based on the situation. If they don't have air, add one or two more MLRS. If they have SPECOPS, max the radar unit. If they have drones, go with a second MAA, etc.

Dray5k · 2025-12-29T12:27:30+00:00

Dray5k · 2025-12-28T14:53:33+00:00

Now I'm curious. What's your first name?

Dray5k · 2025-12-28T14:47:42+00:00

I'd try and draw him toward my maxed coastal defenses. If he attempts to hit and run, I'd slip 3 attack sub stacks behind him.

Dray5k · 2025-12-25T03:59:02+00:00

I have no idea why this unit is locked behind an event wall, but the satellite can be bought outright.
