What are the decisive advantages for AR, IT, SS and SD? Can't imagine that they would be as good as the BC/DN advantage or early DD barbarian horde strategy, in combination with the -25% weap cost...

BET simply causes the early and midgame races to compete better, thats why i suggested IT, SS and SD.
Yes, WM is most early/midgame oriented and so it receives Major advantage comparing to others.
Whats so wrong about it? Sounds lot more fun game if WM is the king of the board. Where was it written that JOAT, IT, IS, and especially SD must rule since CA is banned? WM seems weak in games i have been ... actually last time i lost game to WM was because it was 2 WMs+AR allied in a small 8 player game, plus they got MPS from MT. One of the WMs was hosting it and he was actually more skilled player than me back then. I myself always think that "OK next game i try WM again but not in this one!" Very Happy

If you mean unlimited mins for AR...yes, sure, I suppose, if they actually survive to the end game. I'm no AR expert, but I'd imagine that BET can only hurt the miner ramp, cause issues if at war early. I'd guess it would generally make the race fairly tough to play. Not like it is an easy race to begin with.

AR...? My AR was usually the tech leader when still 4th-5th with resources. Biggest BET bonuses ... go to the tech leader. Rolling Eyes

Things ... like cheaper docks / medium freighters leave some minerals to build a DD or CA or toss up better orbital. All it makes initial years easier for AR. Nod

Without BET AR waits to turn 35 then builds C12 remote robots. With BET the C7 robot is as cost-efficent as C12 (or even better) and the mini miner hull is cheaper than without BET so advantages: AR may start earlier to invest into the miners and AR got to invest less to have competive minerals.

I overall usually choose weak PRTs ... like AR, SS, WM or PP to keep game competive and interesting for me. Winning with weak PRT is lot more fun and losing feels not so bad. Wink

SS and AR have done very well but with WM i have had lower luck than with PP. Probably its my fault that its too weak PRT for me. Sorry. Smile
