Hi!

In my last game I played a HR with 15/8/25 (game settings 15/x/25) and HG 1000 pop efficiency. Started beautifully, but I dumped weap cheap to get the RW points to afford these dream econ settings and still get 1 in 4 habs...doh! Dead

No wonder you lost that game to a 6% HE. I can not make a viable (at least IMO) race with those settings. It lacks pop (14% PGR) and minerals (16 operated). Dropping pop eff to 1/2500 would give you 17% PGR, fac's cost 7 and 15/3/21 mines - I'd say quite a playable race. For weap cheap you'd have to set fac's back to 8 and set mines to 13/3/22 - more viable IMO.
BR, Iztok

Whoops, not 1 in 4 habs, actually 1 in 3 (only 2 clicks off 1 in 2, hits 'virtually all' before you have terra-11 in all areas...) I had 17 mines. The mines were very nearly adequate due to broad habs, I think with better weap tech I could've done a *lot* better.

I didn't want pop 2500 because I wanted the fast ramp up time (all the races were restricted to 15/x/25 facs, so I wanted to try to beat the other race's startup times and try to be an early resource monster, which I succeeded in doing.) I sacrificed % growth rate to get more effective population.

If I played the same race again I would probably reduce starting habs to 1 in 4/5 to increase mines slightly and to buy weap cheap. And I'd definately get rid of 'start at 4'... doh!
