"Always" is a dangerous word, just like "never" it should be used only rarely and with extreme care. Shame

If you think that you can design a CA that can beat the best races out there with 15%, fine. Even if you can design one with 10-13% growth fine. I'll just say "well, can you design a CA that beats everybody one on one with 8% growth rate?" Rolling Eyes

It is just a matter of how much not, If. I'll give you a classic tri- immune 10% real growth HE. All the planets are 100% for it and has amazing econ and tech settings with all the LRT that you ever wanted- is it competitive? Not anymore. Now take a 10% growth CA- not many hardly any planets are 100% worse econ settings etc, etc... is it competitive? You gotta be joking!

So 10% growth is too low, 19-20% is too high, maybe 15% is too high too. What about 13%? Feels about right. A low growth CA is a bit like many immune HE- can afford many toys and can grow steady and easy to maximize growth. It is still very powerfull if left alone to grow, but hey you can kill it with a right race design. Something that you CANNOT do with 19% growth CA.

You can kill an HP, ANY HP with one of the best NF designs can you not? Espesially one with 15% growth. Sure it will totally kill you once it gets it's econ up, but then you can't kill AR in late game either.

Well yes, even a low growth CA will get about as many res as any other PRT. But, those PRT have force multiplers while CA does not have any particular combat enchancing skills. Once again the goal is not to debilitate CA but to balance it.

In the Future there is only WAR...
Therefore our extinction is assured, it is just a matter of where and when.
