By the looks of it LaF has a clear size advantage. I've never had a problem with them, however I like a challenge and generally prefer being in a mid sized alliance.
Thanks for the warm welcome, probably going to wait till next set to play officially, might have a play set this set. See how much the game / tech has changed.
Also I prefer to wargain then strictly net. Not sure whos doing that at the moment?
Can someone please explain the real benefit to weapons tech? Does it increDe the strength of your military increasing the offensive points for each unit?
Say I am looking to run a farmer strat. I decide to stay m and tech early. Say I tech at 3k acres and tech out to 228% at 72k agri tech. Do I need to tech more as I then grab out to 20k acres will my agri tech % still be 228% at 20k acres??
