All average habs will start slower because the avg hab % will be lower due to higher avg distance to a race's optimum hab. However, it has higher potential over the long run because more planets are habitable for a given universe i.e. the race is able to take advantage of more hab space.

Wide + narrow will start faster because the avg distance to a race's optimum hab is smaller due to the narrow hab.



I agree, but only partially. I almost done AR tests and half of JoAT tests. AR Race 2 starts almost equally because more green planets means also more of them close to HW, and they are slightly better - better early start so have a bit more resources for teraforming. In my test, race 2 is only 1 year behind in development of ultra station and death star. However, as I thought, race 2 incredibly improves when it develops Energy 16. While race 1 is struggling against tons of yellows, race 2 uses remaining 4 teraformings usually on the green planets that are already with Ultras or even Death Stars. About 10% hab improvement makes a big difference for such large planets. Race 1 usually stops at the center if it's narrow range and Energy 16 tech gives no much difference for it.
Race 2 ends either with more resources spent or research or with more "capital ship building" planets, despite 16% growth rate.

Anyway, once again, the goal of tests not to just compare narrow+wide vs equal.

The goal is to compare parameter "difference (narrow + wide) - (equal)" - how much it differs between AR and JoAT PRT. IMO, there is a big difference between AR and JoAT here - whle AR benefits from equal ranges, JoAT loses because 16% growth.

Will see. I think I'll finish in 2 weeks or so (got a lot of work, so making 2 turns/day between year 40-60).
