Re: A race with pop growth

There aren't really any races that make use of a pop growth bonus. Nowadays, it's WAY more profitable for pop bankers to go with the 10% pop growth of the revs to get the extra 10% income. And custom poppers are far better served to put the race points in research than in pop growth.

I'm interested in some sort of race combination that makes use of a high pop growth bonus. Essentially a pop banking alternative to revalons. Dunno what the solution is (not that it's even a problem really), just a random thought on a Monday night. tongue

Worrrrrrrrrrrrrrd

Re: A race with pop growth

I think the problem is, when Pop banking was dying, the Base rate was buffed from 4% to 5%.

With that, "pop growth bonus" doesn't really even do much.  I mean, I could almost just as effectively pop bank with -30% pop growth.  The bonus only is affected during a couple phases during the round for a pop banker.  One, on conversion and two, on jumps. 

The third I suppose is when you're opped.  A fast pop growth there, really helps to recover pop.

Feel free to suggest stuff!

Re: A race with pop growth

Ya any idea I can think of that would make the race better would involve creating some sort of special op for them like Warcry or OH.

New op ideas: *Hyper breed*, which doubles your pop growth for like 5 ticks or something.
*Cocaine party*, which reduces your own food consumption for 5-8 ticks.


I dunno these are kinda stupid. I'll keep thinking tongue



EDIT: And you could call them DREAMWEAVERS!

Worrrrrrrrrrrrrrd
