  Aminer Hoarding VS Housing  

im trying to decided if i should make myself two 20-25k c2`s and then go all housing or try and get a few c3`s and get mining infra?, im debating because if i go with hoarding i loose a lot of money per turn because i don`t have any ready income from taxes, but if i go housing i get a nice income per turn put cost of food is always crazy so its hard decision =)
any suggestions?

Agri terran on fast FTW. In the top 3 richest is 2 agri terran and 1 commercial, but the agri empires only have half the land and planets as the commercial empire. =P

It depends what you are looking for. If you are planning to get a lot of land and maximum infra on RT, for sure industry will be better than tax, as tax will make the server not very stable. And steadier income is preferable for some people(and imagine, 400k land with max infra, that gives you 10 mil base PR, for sure it won`t be fun).

Yes, industry is a bit more attractive thanks to the boost in modifiers, but it`s still like going commercial for terran: you`d never be able to reach your full potential as you would going tax/mineral unless you got multiple c3s.

3hour(s) ago going pure on 1type of income is the most efficient. either choose to go pure housing or mineral. Housing give you lots of income of miner. Only prob is the food price and high base pr.. Going mineral is good choice too.. since mineral market is always dry u can be sure you mineral is snap up rather quickly, so you would have no problem earning money to sustain those high negative per turn credits when building up.."

That is so not right for miners. Best is housing/mineral imo, get like 15-20 levels of mining for TB and like 30-40 for RT and rest on housing. If you get 3-4-5 c3s and go pure mineral it gets really hard to sell any minerals in the long run. Housing provides steadiness.

Even if food is at 25 A miner would do fine. Miner don`t start losing money till like 42 per unit if you get the loyalty beefed up. It`s pretty insane. =P

lol I think I speak for the whole ultra mineral community. Yes its easier to get planets and yes its near impossible to sell all minerals. aswell as its true that it might not sell under 500 unless you got friends in richer places :) Before i restarted I had 900+mil minerals that i killed but I was always on the rich list no matter how many minerals people didnt need lol. There will always be someone out there wanting to buy your minerals on RT no matter what. so for RT/Ultra mineral is the way to go. Any other server id stick to housing if foods not over 15 :)

raven mineral miner is probably best, so the food market cannot affect your income.

deletion, it takes alot of time to grab 800+ barrens to make the few c3`s tho , i would rather have the two c2`s just incase i dont have someone to hit for borders and i could explore for them.

do the few c3`s and populate all them, with +1000% mining rate with aminer, no need to have mining levels.
