quote: Originally posted by Frankychan Hmmm, not quite sure. In games that I've played, both single and IP, the Hive lags behind in the graph but for my experiences that doesn't account for much. I've noticed that I'll have a huge army but I'll still be on the bottom of the graph even when I'm launching invasion campaigns and taking over cities of the enemy. The basic thing I pay attention to is the one where it lists the area of choice (Military, Territory, Tech, Wealth/Credits/Whatever) and it gives the leading faction name. This is the one we should be paying attention to the most. It'll give us a general idea of where we stand against the other factions. But I've noticed that the Hive lags at the beginning anyway and eventually (once the ball gets rolling) becomes the leading faction in everything.

Oh good! We trust you Comrade FrankyChen. Hive will prevail!

Dear Comrade Chairman, thank you for your trust. I'll bring dedication to the party. (Somebody else bring experience please.) Article 18, 19 and 24 of the Constitution may need to be amended for your appointment to become constitutional. And maybe Article 23 as well.

From what Googlie said... either we beeline for the HSA, or...

If you can't beat them, join them! We build masses of probes ourselves

Most definetely. The Weather Paradigm and the Hunter-Seeker Algorithm should be the top priority projects. Weather Paradigm for it's obvious benefits of terraforming and HSA for the probe "problem".

I think we can forgo the Merchant Exchange.

Another SP that, IMHO, we should consider building is the Empath Guild. It may seem like a weak SP, but I think the extra votes in the Council will give our faction more weight there. For example, if our faction is not up for Planetary Governor but we do have a sizeable amount of votes, we can be a deciding vote on who does become governor and ask for a little "greasing of the palms" (i.e. bribe of credits, tech, etc). This may seem far fetched, but I've found that having a large amount of votes in the Planetary Council does have it's advantages. Just something to munch on while we wait for contact withthe others...
