Hgp / Vw

DeathByTheSword · October 20, 2002, 13:00

we are currently building the HGP in NA and it will be finished in 8 turns we can change too VW and it will take 17 turns.....now NA will grow very soon so that will help.......and we have an AA that will make it 13 turns to build as soon as it is around the 6-8 turns to build we can rush it that would mean we can have it in around 7 turns......I believe this is enough to beat the Univerity too it? what do you all think?>

go for it

don't you think we should be trying for the HGP in suez though? if not, we can at least switch to the PTS when we get automation.

FYI:

Should we go Wealth once we get IndAuto, the HGP will be valuable for attaining Golden Age. The VW is also valuable in that regard, but we're far from assured of getting it unless we use the artifact, and trading 10+ turns of research for 4 turns of a single city's production isn't a valuable trade in my opinion.

If we don't go Wealth, neither are as valuable as, say, the Merchant Exchange, the Empath Guild, or the Planetary Transit System, in my opinion.

TKG, that graphic in your last message shows up as an error on my screen.

I think we should put in whatever effort is neccessary to get the VW. I'd move in garrisons and sacrifice them if it came to that. VW is not only an incredibly useful SP in it's own right, it's also very important to deny it to that rascal Zak. And we, the UN, are elite enough not to need the HGP anyway.

fixed

moomin, it's still good to deny the AI of

Go For VW! Go !

Heards wit AA and rushing of our own funds we need about 10 rounds.
We could also ask Morgan for a credit.

Maniac · October 20, 2002, 17:01

Go for HGP! Long live Golden Ages! We're not going to make it to the Virtual World before Zak anyway.

Method · October 20, 2002, 17:43

we might if we spend both our AAs and a few ECs

Maniac · October 20, 2002, 17:55

Nah. Losing the artifacts isn't worth it for me.
Who has to organize a poll on whether or not we should cash in the artifacts anyway?

Method · October 20, 2002, 18:07

i suggested something go in the consti about AAs, but as it is, i guess the DoR, or the DBP do

AdamTG02 · October 20, 2002, 18:36

My guess would be I&E, as Artifacts are similar to Crawlers, but you're right in that it's ambiguous.

Maniac · October 20, 2002, 18:41

Ok then. I'll start the poll. No use wasting time.

Frankychan · October 20, 2002, 19:34

Go for the VW. I think it'd be more beneficial to us in the long run.

Vlad Antlerkov · October 20, 2002, 19:38

1. Virtual World, just to see Zak squirm-- though its direct benefits are nice in and of themselves.

2. HGP.

Mr. President · October 20, 2002, 19:53

I'd like to see us get the Virtual World. Its benefits are many and long-term. I'm not too crazy about the Human Genome Project.

MrWhereItsAt · October 20, 2002, 21:19

VW. This is about the 10th time I've said this, but screw the HGP. The least useful SP I can think of just glancing at the tech tree.

Mr. President · October 20, 2002, 22:15

In my opinion, the Planetary Transit system is less useful - so much so that I usually don't even try to build it. But that's just me.

GeneralTacticus · October 21, 2002, 03:31

Switch NA to VW, and New Suez to HGP.

Well I don't use it much either, but at least it's three citizens for the price of one CP (faster growth, especially with Econ bonuses or good terrain would be truly cool).

Archaic · October 21, 2002, 07:29

Don't forget the Drone Reduction in bases size 3 or under!

Really though.....how long have the AI been producing those? They've likely got build times in the 40's or higher with their pathetic mineral production.

Virtual World!! Geez!!
