anyone else think state property too powerful

[Blaupanzer]

SP does allow you to run widespread, multi-continent empires with zero colony costs. Otherwise, you are stuck with freeing cities in colonies into states that become your vassals. Not as useful for domination wins.

I usually have problems getting the right GP for the good corps (unless I want to save them for thousands of years), so I plan to use SP and once in it's not worth the switch back out.

I've noticed with corps the two best choices are either running Sushi and Mining or Sushi/Cre. Constructions/Civ. Jewelers/AL.Inc. depending on how frequently you get GPs (although I tend to save a GP or two just for corps, I think building Sid's Sushi is the most useful thing a Great Merchant can do).

Standard ethanol isn't all that great unless you really, really need oil and Cereal Mills is just a poor man's Sid's Sushi.

But not when you're running State Property.

I think it goes without saying that running a corp under state property is a bad idea

Keeps other players from getting it.

Free Market with Corps > State Property

Unless you are really starved for resources and if you are lacking resources by them time corps are available then you are probably not going to be in a position to win.

Running != founding

Semantics.
