Not accurate at all 'The Cloaked'. Again, where are people dreaming up these bizarre conclusions? Where do I ever mention in any posts that I warred with a CI? Is that an assumption?
I'm not new to the game and I think I've stated this three times. I may be new to the forums, yes, but I'm not new to the game. I played this game back when it was in its infancy. Fact: the game has changed quite a bit since then, but, I certainly wouldn't go so far as to say I'm new.
I do appreciate the math you did. That's what I like to see and use. So, I'll look at what you said very thoroughly tomorrow. I'm off to bed! It's been a long day for me. I'm uncertain with the #s with a casher, but I did look into dict farmer on a smaller scale.
You can't really compare a dictator with same acres and same amount of tech because if you start them both off with nothing it will take the commie a shorter time to achieve max tech than for a dictator. I totally agree if both had the same stats in the middle game, the dictator farmer outproduces for sure; but, the problem is, they will not have the same. The commie will always have more quicker. (Near max tech quicker, attacking larger targets (resulting in more land), (faster construction on that land <no construction penalty>)
But again- im going to thoroughly look into how long it would take a dict farmer to reach the scenario you mentioned vs the commie reaching the scenario you presented for that govt. I'm quite certain, but, I may be wrong, that the commie should get to that goal much quicker, thus making more. But we shall see.
side note: I don't know why you keep saying I don't understand costs. I'm #1 in tourney. Don't you think someone in top 10 realizes costs vs those who are just stocking their profits into bushels? I get it. I just prefer not to be a target. I think there's a way to stay #1 the entire set. But that's what this game is all about... one person's idea vs another.
Trust me- I recognize both strats and I'm experimenting with both. In FFA I could move to 2.5 mil net which is easily #1 right now. The current #1 isn't even 1/2 that number.
In tourney I'm hovering around top 2-3 sometimes #1, and I see the price of a costly military. I get both strategies.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
