Theres some things I discovered lately..
More suitable for Strategy forum, but too little to start a new thread there:
I was playing hotseat with myself
(in some other PBEMs, Strategic Command: European Theater, for example, its a good method of working out new strategies)
Its like you being in every of those 7 places, ruling all 7 facs..
Im very peaceful though and I think the fastest progress in SMAC/X can be achieved when living as peaceful as you can.
So the result was: 7 pacted facs..
In SE I was running Demo/FreeMarket/Wealth for Morgan, Police/Green/wealth for Hive, Demo/Planned/Knowledge for Spartans and Demo/Planned/Wealth for everyone other..
I choosed Demo/Planned + Creche to get pop boom fast
The result was a "sudden boom" for 5 facs very early (they had only 4-6 bases each), Hive at that time having 9 bases&slowly expanding, building only RecTanx and Economy improving basefacs, because there was good use of them (imagine +6energy from pacts) and Morgan having 3bases and building the same as Hive + Psych facs(to get Golden age) + Creche
Also - I avoided trading too much, but enough not ot research same tech 2 times and get needed SE&basefacs&formers&commerce..
So a few turns after that boom started (It was way too rapid as most facs were in Rainy areas) and I was considering to switch SE to not so aggresive replicating I got PlaEco and GlobalPact..
Talking about Morganites who had +4 commerce from SE&fac properties and so earned +8 from each fac resulting a sum of 48 from all + average of 24 from base; divided by 2.5 (used 40%/20%/40% scheme) is 28 then having TreeFarm/HybridForest/EnergyBank result is 28*2.5 = 72 per turn.
Also psych was running at 150% so the output was 14*2.5 = 36 and I lowered the psych percent to 10, thus havin even more money!!!
At this rate the building speed of Morganic base was enormous having 2boreholes,2rolling farms+ 3min from base + all that energy resulted in 16mins/turn + 80en/turn which divided by 2 is 40..
50-60 mins/turn is not a small amount having only 4 citizens,2boreholes and not having any factory-like basefacs..
Other facs also made good use of commerce, but having Morgan, who built all base facilities in just a few turns I first understood the real force of peace - It is a very powerful weapon, when used right!

2126 to Walek
Peacekeepers are really growing very strong. It is good that they are controlled by a computer. It makes the game more balanced. They are lucky to have monsoon jungle very close and they made good use of it.
