how do collective empires manage to get any money, everything seems to be at like -99%

bah!! you want a few levels on housing on the off chance you win a cluster. No more than 10 tops. Prolly around 6 or 7 to get you started and for when you win good clusters and maximize efficiency (fewer houses equals more agri infrustructure). Of course this coming from a collective who made the mistake of getting 20 housing (waaay too much). >.>

Plunder just isn`t worth it except as a bonus income from time to time as population grows WAAY too slowly.

"lol tb is harder than rt, tb you have to plan how to spend your turns and you cant spend thousands of turns exploring for borders. "

umm, we`re talking about collective here. Collective can`t explore. lol

And tb is easier on collective because most people out of dp in the lower pr levels are not online or actively seeking targets. On RT, you go out of dp for 5 minutes and you get smacked if you don`t watch it, and if you`re not careful you can die. On TB you at least have room to breath and plan.

Also, TB is about how efficiently you use your turns and how many days you`ve played, not how many hours you click the research button.

rag its because normal is pretty easy

rt is pretty hard i can take it though
R Ragnarok
if you say so. I don`t like th RT server personally, but i imagine its slightly harder than turn based servers.
T ThEpAkIsTaNIeMpIrE
rt server its not that hard i played collective there its not that hard
R Ragnarok
yea paranoid, but you can only fight fight fight in the lower pr as you never get much income. Don`t know about you, but I like to pwn in the sky high PR levels too. ^_^

But that does burn cash. And trust me, unless you`re on RT server, it aint hard to get borders.

Plus, I almost never plunder for profit these days either. Only time you`ll ever want to do that is if you come across a U class planet (collective can`t use em), or a cluster (which can`t be used to produce food unfortunately). Otherwise, you try to acquire 800+ land barrens and make good sized clusters to produce food.

One more piece of advice. It takes a LOONG time (depending on luck) to make a good collective c3, and the more your base PR rises the less you`ll capture good planets. Once your base pr gets over 100k pr, you will spend all your time on battling and hardly any on research. So take your time and RESEARCH while you can. You`ll be glad you did later when you base pr gets higher (assuming you don`t die).

And be active. If you slip up, thats the end of your empire.

plunder/ food. Collectives get to use their double pop trait, pretty good if you have lvl 100 housing .. you get lv 200 pop bonus @_@ ~i think~
agri is boring .. always gotta watch your back for borders etc .. plunder is fun, fight fight fight all day long ^^
R Ragnarok
a combination of plunder and food production (50% bonus minus the penalties of assimilated planets).

Get 10 housing to help you get your first few million and help you get started and put the rest in agriculture. I have 20 housing on my empire and feel that it is almost too much as population grows way too slow for my liking. Agriculture offers a much more stable income, and once you get over 2 billion you can pretty much go up to 10 million PR without worrying about debt.

ya I just took a closer look at them, they`re upkeep and cost for ships is pretty low, and they have bonus 50% agricult. I stand corrected. Their ships are datty good too.
