You can do it with 500 lq's and 500 to's Nandro, it's the same effect smile and you don't really need to take overbuilding into account in this situation, as the costs are the same for every race.

And no problem Noir, I know your language skills are really affected when all you think about are numbers tongue

This should really be two separate threads:

- one for ways to maximize your income using race A, B or C and decide which one is the best

- another thread to decide whether some particular features in those races are worth losing the income edge the previous thread showed


When you start mixing everything up it generally doesn't turn into an enlightening debate. You can't compare dufferent features because they're not remotely connected at all. I can compare iron production vs endurium production based on market prices and eventual fam needs, but comparing income vs magic power is nonsense.

The key to IC has always been specialization. That's why the Wardancer race has never been any good, because it doesn't allow to play a single role to the best of a player's ability, unlike Revalons, Partaxians or Camaars (note i'm only talking about custom races).

If you are in an organised family, it's nonsense to have a partaxian as a pop banker. Someone else will be in charge of op s department, ideally a resourcer with 50% magic and 50% science or perhaps a small NW partaxian.

If your goal is to make money, more specifically through pop banking, you take the race with the highest income bonus which also features a good enough pop growth: revalons. It's really very simple. The differences in the long run are so overwhelming that it does make up for it all to pick any other race.

There is always the possibility that you simply want to have some fun, or try out a new strat like Torqez did 2 rounds ago. Then by all means, go ahead. But if you are a part of an organised family and want to maximize your growth at all times, you specialize and carry out your specific role. And for pop banking (looking solely at Custom races) there is no race that even compares to the income power generated by the Revalons.

Quantam research bonus or Partaxian magic bonus are great assets, sure. But what is your goal, isn't it to make money?

If you wanted to attack and only had the option of choosing custom races, would you pick Partaxian? Or would you go Camaar?

As Noir said, growth in IC is exponential. The difference in incomes allows you to build much more than whatever occasional advantages astray races may provide. Your pop banking partax income allows you to build 1mill wizards. Your Revalon opponent has used his income advantage to  outgrow you and builds 2mill wizards. Where is your advantage now?

Cherboug was in disarray. Under the command of Major General J. Lawton Collins, the allied forces launched a general assault on June 22 as they slowly cleared the Germans from their bunkers and concrete pillboxes.

Inside the Intelligence Command Office, the orders were to destroy all valuable documents as to avoid capture. Encryption codes were altered; entire folders were burned or ripped to pieces. A special task force had been assigned to find out who had issued the tampered orders causing the support Panzer tanks to go astray.

It was heavy duty inside the Intelligence Office, as Oberst KT oversaw all operations. She had been a driving force behind the events taking place inside the Office, and still she wasn

The situation looked grim. Lt.

The promised reinforcements by General Rommel were delayed, as the path they were suggested to take to arrive at Cherbourg was mined and sabotaged by the French resistance. Some said suspicious orders came from the Intelligence Office in Cherbourg itself, but the general mayhem didn

The port of Cherbourg

Lieutenant General Karl-Wilhelm von Schlieben knew he could not hold for much longer. The German commander had been instructed to wreck and mine the port of Cherbourg, as to delay the advance of the allied forces. The General had rejected a summons to surrender and began carrying out demolitions to deny the port to the Allies. Remnants of his own Division, the 709th Infantry Division, would be in charge of this task, along with local troops which included the members of the Intelligence Command Office.

That evening, several members from the Intelligence Office were assigned to help in the wrecking of the port, and some within them had different tasks in mind: knowing full well the port would be a gateway to mainland France, the Special Allied Forces members within the group sought out to delay the trashing of the port for as long as possible. However, they were not alone.

SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer Maarten looked at these events with growing concern. The Gestapo officer knew Cherbourg was crucial in defending occupied France, and he knew the allies would do anything in their power to disrupt the city
