Hi!
HEs can be very successfull in both econ extremes:
* as "HPs" with 4-5% PGR, 1/1000 pop eff, LOTS of factories and mines and cheap techs, or
* insanely fast -f (15% PGR, some cheap techs - for more reference check cc-master's duel results).

But as a 4-5% HP it needs quite some time and peace and MM to become a monster. Significantly more time than other PRTs need to become combat-ready. When one becomes combat-ready, he usually looks after someone weaker than him to get his space. So why don't attack that weak slow-growing HE next door now, when he's still quite far from the monster he'll be in 30 turns? 2 Guns Dead

In both "incarnations" they also lack gates. The bigger the uni, the more that hurts, since mobility is the foundation to successfull warfare. HE is limited only to the speed of its engines. (To myself: I really must play the IT once. EVERYTHING gateable. HMMMMmmm... Twisted Evil )

BR, Iztok
