There is two ways to move the partax, either more towards banking, or more towards resourcing. Both are justified, we need a race that can pop bank, perhaps not the most efficiently, but the most reliably. As for the resourcing? Over the rounds partax's that are used, are more likely then not resourcers. Most of the big name partax's over the years. Thorn comes to mind as one of the first i knew of, and those of who remember, that was round 7 or 8, and its become more and more popular since.

Option 1.
Pop Growth: -20% - Compensate for the extra income.
Magic: 70%
Income: 45% - Little bit extra
Science: -10% - compensate for the attack
Attack: 20% - Compensate for science
Speed: 60% - Compensate for science

ALL spells
TO's.

This race i think would allow the pop banking option, or the resoucer/opper option effectively. The pop banker option with 50% is viable, but hard due to the science.

i loled

Re: Partax's new op

We dont NEED a pop banking race at all

Partax are good as they are now
If you choose for pax pop banking then you choose to be more safe over money.
so you make 5 mill less then a revalon when your bigger, you can still make alot of money.   + your pop is safe

Re: Partax's new op

We don't need a pop banking race cause too many people fail at it. The only thing I can suggest is creating an instructional video and tool tip on the sidebar to go along with revalons.

Re: Partax's new op

Partax popping is better than Revs IMO with this new change

Research = same
Magic = +80% diff
Pop -10% diff
Income -30% diff

Obviously Revs have the potential of making more but... that's all they can do and they have an 80% greater chance of losing their source of income

Is that worth the 10% better pop growth? I don't think so

As far as income goes, I'll take the +80% defense in exchange for the need for +15%-30% more infra anyday tongue

Just a choice you have to make -- risk and more reward, or safe with less reward

Re: Partax's new op

Is there an official thread explaining how magic works?
- to succeed a spell (nw, nb of plts etc...)
- to defend (some say magic doesn't count some say yes)

'Success! The realm of Genesis has been reduced to dust! Our forces are leaving the planet though, as it is scheduled for demolition to make way for a new hyperspace bypass.'

Re: Partax's new op

Kollop I might do a magic strategy thingy later on if i can be arsed, as there are alot of people who don't understand it too well.

And don't listen to Nolio, lol:


"Magic - This bonus increases the strength of your wizards both when casting spells and defending. It costs 10 racepoints per 10%."


So magic bonus helps in defense and attack, hence why revalons with -10% magic aren't as attractive this round, but still playable for sure!

Re: Partax's new op

yes that's what I heard, it's written like that in guide but in codes it doesn't work

'Success! The realm of Genesis has been reduced to dust! Our forces are leaving the planet though, as it is scheduled for demolition to make way for a new hyperspace bypass.'

Re: Partax's new op

Officially, Primo says Stafan said it was never buggged even though for about 3 years or more everyone else seemed to know it didn't work for defense.

Re: Partax's new op

screw the 5% and 30% etc etc...

The op Has NOT been implemented in Capri...meaning this was ALL just an elaborate Hoax to get every1 to switch to PAX....GENIUS, imo.
or there is guna be a Reset/Downtime...once Stefan actually presses a few buttons to make this happen. for next round.

Re: Partax's new op

Correct.  Not sure what the delay is, but I believe Adoross is waiting on Stefan for something.

We can actually do this even though the round is started, so hopefully we'll sort it out it asap!!

/me goes to find Stefan + his minion
