POLL: other attributes

[Harry Seldon]

I guess what I am saying is I was not trying to make a case that creative sucks or is weak or anything.

I love creative and I totally think it's weak.

Old N Slow,

maybe I can't count anymore, but 40+30+40+20+20+10+10 doesn't make 160 I have taken that you have preference spy over map................If not please correct.

I live & work near the government -- are you implying that I can't count in my favor

Next time I'll see if I can bambozzle the crowd with 180 points worth of votes

Good catch, though

Go ahead & drop my banana's last 10 points for map size -- I'm rather indifferent.

Nice try, you almost got away with.

I would have too, but with only one slection it would have been hard to sneak mine past them.

[Whoha]

So where do we go from here?

[Gilgamensch]

Once we finished here, we can make a run-off poll. But this way we limited what we want and can get a better picture what to vote for in the finial run.............. (should be next week)
(I know I haven't voted yet.)

I always knew that governmental jobs are only for the non-intelligent ones

I will keep an eye on you

I only realised it, by the way, when I was rechecking if I put all your votes in (ups......)

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I want to change my 40 votes for a Large Home World to 40 votes for SubTerranian and change my 40 votes for Rich Home World to 40 votes for Warlord.

[Gilgamensch]

updated and still thinking how shall I vote, I mujst admit I favour creative, don't like to think so much about choosing between the options........But I think later today I'll vote as well...........

We had 10 participants in the other poll, why only so few here?

Creative 40 (+8)
Aquatic 40 (+5)
Dictatorship 40 (0)
Artifacts HW 40 (+3)

If we play creative, we need to compensate the slow start with something - I think Aquatic and Artifacts HW will do. I see that many people want to play with large populations (many votes for sub). Aquatic also gives pop bonus (actually it gives the gaia transformation bonus from the start) and also gives food bonus to feed your pop. On a large homeworld with my suggestion we will get 20 pop (with biospheres). A subterranean race will get 22 but will need one more farmer to feed its pop.

[Old n Slow]

But does the aquatic benefit carry over to barren (and radiated) worlds? The choice between mineral rich vs organic rich may make a difference then.

[Whoha]

well, your homeworld doesn't need as many people farming to feed those worlds.

[Whoha]

though, thats only a problem with tolerant, only there does population grow fast enough and large enough to put a food strain on your hw, in addition to needing a ton of freighters. You are pretty much forced to beeline for soil enrichment whether you picked uni or not.

as for food bonus's there are the food picks,aquatic,cybernetic(which is actually a good pick for production because of the surplus you generate working food is transfered to a surplus of production),unification and lithovore.

[vmxa1]

cybernetics eat production, not a good thing. If they get blockaded theyare dead.

[Whoha]

except for poor and ultra poor worlds with no infrastructure(and unless you picked +2 production), you get more production then food, and since it is 1/2 and 1/2 you can parley what would have been a worthless food surplus into a production surplus that is always worth while.

[bakalov]

Exact aquatic benefits:

makes Tundra and Swamp worlds like Terran
makes Terran and Ocean like Gaia

Anyway this is a very good starting bonus. Only the +1 food costs 4 picks. It does not help so much late in the game but probably we will crush the enemies much earlier :-)
