Rarely worry about it! I know you will be Shocked

to read this.

It sounds as though you rarely worry about it because you've already put the thought into determining your growth strategy, so now you focus your thinking on the game at hand.

Quote:

For -f races I set the default orders to

10 mines
1 max terraform

For HG/HP races the default orders are

1020 Factories
1020 Mines
Max Terraform 5%
10 Defenses

I then occasionally adjust to suit the situation.

Do you really mean 10 mines for your -f queue? I usually put 100 mines (actual, not autobuild) then terra, adjusting as necessary.

Quote:

For a -f terraforming is almost always good as you need pop to grow resources. But you also need minerals for building warships/transports and you need to research tech quickly.

And that's the root of the question. When does it make sense to put one in front of the others? It sounds as though for a -f, in particular, you're suggesting early investment in terra is very important!

Cheers,
Void
