well, we can...if you feel like doing absolutely nothing but researching at base pr for three months, making cash, playing htemarket and the like...once you hit 300+billion cash with guard it is near impossible to use it all...even when building neutrals.
about six months or so ago, i started building up, i hit 200 million pr, and only used around 80ish billion credits, with a full guard stack, by 250mill, i had started building my neutrals...by 365million pr i had a full ten stack, with swords, queens, spear, and f. axe, all rather expensive mind you, and still at 435 million pr i still had 323 billion credits left, i started building with roughly 483 billion and some change, guard income is crud, but as i have stated, its hard to use up all that money when fighting up high...unless you have to rebuild from virals hitting you constantly, as i had to do a few times...
my point is, if you put the time, the energy, and the mind to the guardian race, its the most solid race out there.
if you don`t spend the time that i did in prepairing all that cash, and have only a few billion...virals will out endure your efforts, but up high, with a large supply of cash, we can out endure them, which goes back to my statement that guard is a high pr race, not built for newbie hunting and the like.
it took me over four months to get my cash, and took me five months to use it all, the 150ish billion i had left got eaten by an UW when i went with the family on vacation, and since then i`ve lost all but one u. large...my empire is in shambles atm, and will be rough to fix, but its do-able.
HOJ, you werea great guard, and i am sorry to see that you have fallen for the viral way of thinking...enjoy.
