I have done 3 hours of calculations on cf vs pop and the results are scary.

1 has advantages over the other in different situations in your family.

Pop has a slight advantage on income.

Depending on your family situation should you chose cf or pop.

So there is no clear 'winner'.  Each has its pro's and con's.

Case solved.

Pop > CF in income

End of Discussion.

I agree with the first 2 lines of that statement.

you can do that but few people that play this game can do that its hard being a pop banker and it takes up alot of aid and time trying to make one and you will have to wait awhile for them to out do CF bankers and the food you use to keep 1 pop banker up and keep 5 CF bankers up easy and the iron you need to build up a pop banker to 300% you could build up 2 or 3 CF bankers
the only thing pop banker has is max income over CF bankers (if they can get to 700% OB and can keep his crazy amount of food up and don't get his pop killed)

BC COUGAR, you are my hero!
w00t.

you're post make so much sense and they are so fun to read.. how do you do it?! X(

if you build right on the way out from from your home system, then you have a laser trap in every one of them.
and you have your science planets transferable (no portal) , and then you keep two attackers in a system with your pop bankers (one a cammar, and one a wardancer) CF bankers can only (expence vs. return) be built to 100%, keep pop bankers in the closer core and under these conditions they are safe, and if your smart enough to build 4 DS's asap, then you have 5 systems that the enemy can't even attack, and if the pop banker keeps a high ground/wizzie thing going, with welfare/RC boost, they only lose maybe 1/20th of they're income from losing a planet, far less than a CF banker losing a 300% OB planet.
and a pop banker being fully portaled, gives it an automatic 30% POP bonus to the planet, so with a race pop bonus added, and welfare.... you got a human battery.
then again.... it depends on the leader, and how they play, but i have done this even thow the leader thought i was doing it another way... i stayed invisible and had my welfare up to 98%, and 50 planets, and was utterly defenseless.... but fooled everyone by being so small, and with only ground (i had no opps just bonuses to research and pop... not even TO's) i max built  LQ's, and 100% OB with RC's.
if you have an active family to protect them, they are the best money makers, if you don't? then YES CF is better.

tisk tisk, if you want to be in a top family, then at least 4 of your family better be built, and defended this way.

LoL, talk about a kicking a topic (over 4 years old) I wonder if I still have the Matlab files
