POLL : race picks (next one)

[Gilgamensch]

Whatever I was thinking of, I wasn't able to find anything good, so let's do it this way:

We have the following picks to be decided upon:
[list=A][*]Dictatorship / 0 (Government type)[*]Feudal / -4 (Government type)[*]Uni / +6 (Government type)
[*]Tolerant / +10[*]Repulsive / -6[*]Creative / +8[*]Production +2 / +6[*]Production +1 / +3[*]Omniscient / +3[*]Artifact HW / +3(?)[*]Large HW / +1[*]Science+2 / +6[*]Subterran / +6[*]Aquatic / +5(?)[*] -20& Ship def / -2[*]Warlord / +4[/list=A]


As I want to narrow it down further and there are to many possible combinations. Let's try to narrow down with a similar poll as we started it.

The rules are fairly easy. Create a race of the above combinations. You have 10 plus points, the values behind the pick you have to subtract from the 10 points (meaning minus * minus = plus). You are not allowed to reach a negative value at the end. Also you are only allowed to choose one form of government (A till C). Any other combination of the rest is valid.

To say it in other words:

Choose one form of government (A-C), subtract the points from 10 and make any kind of combination of D-P, so long it is equal or greater than 0.

Just poll the letters and not the names. (i.e. A+D+E+O)

(I indicated poll, but as we don't have any option, it is just a thread).

This poll will expire Monday the 8th of Spetember.

spared for results.

Come on guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Harry Seldon]

Feudal, Repulsive, Creative, Science+2, Artifact HW, Production+1

[Gilgamensch]

Harry,

feel ashamed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just poll the letters and not the names. (i.e. A+D+E+O)

[Old n Slow]

C+F+M+E+O+R

As posted elsewhere, the Unified Creative Subbies that are Repulsive & don't defend well in space nor fight well on the ground. (where R is "other or not listed above")

6+8+6-6-2-2 = 10, check.

[Whoha]

C E F M O and -gc which doesn't have a letter.

[Harry Seldon]

Reading is fundamental.

B E F H J L

[bakalov]

A F J N

[Harry Seldon]

Is this everyone?

[Sharpe]

A F for sure, rest don't really care that much (don't really care for repulsive but that is just me perhaps)...

Q is for quick in that someone else could have slipped in a 'banana' option.

From the posts I can see that everyone voted for "F" and it is obvious that we all agree to play creative.

The government is tied though. May be we need a new poll that must be only about it. In the first pol we had 50 Dictatorship 40 Unification 30 Feudal; Here we have 2 votes for Dictatorship, 2 for Unification and one for feudal.
IMO Dictatorship will be more efficient with creative because of the morale - in the end of the game Dictatorships have +100% to everything (Food, Industry, Science, Money) from morale, and Unification cannot benefit from it. The +6 picks that can be saved this way should be used to compensate the slow creative race start. What shall we do?

[Harry Seldon]

How do the rest of the picks match out? Since Uni is a +6 pick we wouldn't be able to choose it if the pick deficit was too high.

[bakalov]

For the rest of the picks (the positive ones) I would choose:

-Artifacts Homeworld (3)
-Large Homeworld (1)
-Aquatic (5)
-Science +1 (3) Note: in average tech game may be I can switch this for +1 prod

This is +20 with the creative. Remains to pick 10 negatives. Usually I do not pick repulsive because I think it repulses the leaders and makes them cost more.
Usually I would go with Low Gravity, -Spying & -Def or Att. Low gravity is not a big pain because I tend to build only a few colonies from my race. But if you guys insist to be Repulsive I won't mind :-)
