Collective questions

Yay another satisfied customer

i can vouch for DrEvil.... i`m a nice rich a.miner and i`m hungry... those dang muffins are sooooooooo good when u got the munchies :D

Yea, we`re just a bunch of pissed off food dispensers trying to make a living. ^_^

I bake yummy muffins & sell them across the galaxy from my secret evil lair

hmm. u know. terran/aminer clusters under collective use are pretty useless except population plunders. or planet count.
I tested one on Ultra when i got it.
researched. got some food.
plundered 999 agro land. researched again and got the same amount of food. :(

I`ve done quite well using food as my primary income for my first Collective empire on Normal server. Cash reserves are up to $2 billion now.

And by high base PR, I mean like what a guard typically has to deal with (like between 400k-1.5 million pr....which is more than the vast majority of collectives have been able to achieve).

Exactly. Tax collective simply is not feasible given the fact that you`d have double the base pr that a normal TAX terran would have at the same tax income. You might say it takes TWICE the population to get the same tax income as a terran.

Now couple this with the fact that collective empires do NOT do well with a high base pr (unless you`re skilled) and no exploring, and you`ve got one HARD path. Oh and don`t forget that high food prices suck too.

Now, if you manage to capture a 20k land c2 or a great c3, you can actually use it to make your cash instead of being forced to plunder it for as much plunder money you can get it for. Then again, high base PR especially sucks for collective on turnbased servers, although it`s not as bad as it used to be before the update.

But hey, if you can succeed as a tax collective and not die then I applaud you.

*chokes*
Tax?
what. are you doing it?. have you seen how much we get off of tax compared to low food prices and plundering as collectives?
you must be crazy. if you wanna tax. go aminer or somethin. lol.
Plunder and food are the only 2 good ways for money.

tax can be pretty good aswell

this day and age ide say food production , but plunder is also a good and fun way of playing , for most it will be alot harder these days however , more hunters than targets

depends on you really
