Wo there people. Some guys actually LIKE playing AR. Unless the AR keeps their "mineral fountain" or get some other nice goodies, AR WILL be the weakest race in the game.

My thought (which was in the original post) was AR gets a different sort of mineral fountain in such a case... free super efficient mine settings (mining reduces concentrations less) that also work for remote miners (either AR owning them makes them more efficient or mining a world inhabitted by AR). So AR no longer has to worry about saving the HW, but ends up with much less mineral depletus than everyone else in the end.

This would make AR not quite as strong end game... but stronger mid game when his miners have much better than 30% concentrations to work with.

I like the fixed HW concentration, just because it is the power AND the weakness of the ARs mineral fountain. The fountain can make the AR overly powerfull but since it means concentrating all his miners in one spot means this tremendous power does have an Achilles Heel! You can destroy it!
Nothing is more fun as decloaking at an AR HW and let your gatlings blast those 3000+ (depends) Super Bugs out off the sky! Twisted Evil

Sometimes even not so succesfull attacks (miners surviving) might be just what you need because it means the AR loses 1-2 years of mining, (which can be 50.000kT of each mineral per year, again depending) and that might cut you just enough breathing room for some game situations.
