Terran vs. A. Miner

deiloche thats true tax miner is richest for the amount of planets but not everyone is skilled at being tax :P planet hoarding is richer but you need lotsa planets and thats hard for most players, agri terran just find some ferts make a c2 and its as easy as it gets :P

Though agriculture has the capacity to be many, many times more profitable that commerce and only RARELY is less profitable. And unlike most people who claim that commerce is better than agriculture... I`ve done the mathematics to calculate precisely what the comparison is, and can say with authority that agriculture almost always is better than commerce.

ya ya ya...

*cough* Hey Dreamland? Tell that to all the huge empires who couldn`t compete with a rich tax miner... agri terran IS rich, agreed... but the only case in which it becomes more profitable than a tax miner is when there`s a tax miner around like me who consumes food in massive quantities driving the price of food up to incredibly high values.

miner is by far the best if your looking for a challenge and actually want to take the time and learn to stack with them.

actually terran is richer....just be agri and you`re set

Hiigs just about said it all. It depends on what you want from the game.

terran

it is all depend on what style u gonna play with.

money maker is for Miner while Terran is a little better in battle.

but, when talking on the battle. Terran only good below high pr (my define on high pr is 5mil pr or lower) since ur income will enough to support ur fleet (depend on ur incomer per turn) without get in debt (u can ignore all of these if ur argiculture Terran)

Miner is better in defensive. with the easy credit, high pr or extreme high pr wont be a porblem as u r making $ from market.

hmm, well, agri terran is pretty rich if the food is over 10...

Terran rule in battle suck in upkeep to income ratio, a.miner syuck in battle but very rich with similar upkeep to terran:) decide wich one is better

terran

Both great races, Both are easy, and both ROCK. A.Miners I use in Fast and started in Ultra. great race for mainly defencive and offensive. Just stack correctly and u pwnzersjust bout anyone cept viral. ( never fought any virals in fast, arent enough)

Terrans my main fav.( RT and Normal) Great offensive/defensive. Defence isnt as good as aminer though. If u go for neutral ships in most of your stacks for miner or terran u`ll be fine mostly.
You`ll get the hang of either one after a bit. Use the ships strengths and weaknesses.\ which u can look up at Manual>Ships>(Race)>Ship type)

Terran has a wide array of ships that can be combined to deadly effect... a.miner has a narrow array of ships that can be used for decent effect, and the ability to dominate any economy and only rarely consider how much something costs. Usually, an a.miner is quite content to use credits as bathroom tissue... they certainly have enough of it.

easier=quickest starter

one could consider having easier battles if you have better ships....

Terran has better ships, a.miner is easier.
