Also, on alliance servers a dict is better than commie at netting because of the dict gains in grabbing. The BPT and production deficiencies are outweighed by grabbing and growing fast. In reality, neither a commie or a dict are good netters unless you are a landtrading dict, and even that has been recently nerfed.

My main point is you really can't compare this server with the slower paced and longer other servers. Commie is garbage usually on other servers unless it is in an early war or early retaller.
