You said it...

[DeathByTheSword]

yes

we`il just have to wait for some wars to begin or something like that

[Maniac]

Question: A faction declared war on us. We are currently running Wealth Values. Power and Knowledge isn't yet unavailable. What should we do? Stay wealth or switch to Survival values but loose the big wealth benefits?

[Anodyne]

If I was playing a game myself, I'd probably switch. Morale penalties make wars quite difficult... of course, you could try to compensate the loss with other SE-choices.

[DeathByTheSword]

depends on what kind of war it is. but i think if we have enough money and a strong enough army screw survival and stay with wealth. I am not a strong supported of constantely changing SE so i would anyway say stay with wealth. i think we can beat any enemy even with low morale

[Anodyne]

It all depends on the situation, yes. When I'm playing just for the heck of it, I usually try a mix of different SE-combinations.

Of course, if Maniac referred to this Demo-game (like he probably did ), matters are a bit different.

[DeathByTheSword]

i says lets wait until that time is there and THEN start a poll about it this is only for signups and threadlinks

[Anodyne]

...of course we could continue this small talk as a lame attempt to keep the CN alive until the beginning of the game

[DeathByTheSword]

yes ofcourse but i think there to much variables. what do you all think of seawarfare in SMAC? how do you all use you ships and if we are talking about it what do you al thing of airplanes?

I'll sign up too.

I'd switch, unless it was absolutely vital that we carry on with Wealth. -2 Morale is a killer - even if we have both a CC and BEC in a base, the units we produce will still only be Disciplined. Without it, they would be Commando.

SIGNING UP...

[Vlad Antlerkov]

signing up.

On to the question:

Switch. We can get industry benefits elsewhere *cough*Planned*cough*, and that morale penalty hurts like hell (unless they're also hurting in that area).
