On larger universes w/ AR.
I find that universes larger than medium normal to be irrelevant at this point. Most advanced+ players realize that it is largely pointless to play games w/ more planets as it does not improve game quality. Rather it simply increases the amount of work per turn and slows down the game. Favorite universe size for some time has been small packed, medium normal, or medium sparse w/ 16 players. Anything else and you're just increasing work and the number of years before you see real action in teh game. Sure you don't see MD nubes @ year 55, but what the hell's the point of that. It's a lot more intertesting when PRT differences are actually accentuated. I'm not interested in a race to arm nubians. If people weren't interested in more tightly packed games, I'd have stopped playing years ago.

where do you get your ideas?" I just say I don't know. It's safer."
