Ah **Filtered**, forgot that no commander gives you 10% income boost. I've been gone too long.

Got a message from one of the top five ranked players (no names ;)) offering me a 'slice' of their 4m income. C'mon ;)

Starting a day late I'm at 3.3m per turn.

The reason their income is low is because they are in top 5 to much uu in military apart from miners

Well, top power in the game is just short of 3 million, which is about 90 Zat Weapons with 90 Hok-Taur Raiders trained, costing 30 million Naq, and let's say the individual needs around 70 covert units and 40 anti-covert units, essentially costing 500k Naq. So that is a total of 200 units trained, which is only 200-264k naq/turn based on Race/Commander settings.

Its besides that, its the fact that instead of buying UP they bought weapons and had a lower income. Which snowballs to less UU than the front runners which leads to a lower income which leads to a lower UP which makes the front runners have an essentially compounded growth lead

But it happens every era so meh

Yeah, very true. It just seems so minor right now.. :smt104 264k/turn over 1 day for me would be 2 or 3 UP clicks, so 150 units a day, which is around 200k/turn after a day... So it will definitely add up fast day-by-day... I dunno if it's because the Era we just came from, but I'm having a hard time resetting my brain to the low numbers. #-o

Some people go for top spot to attract potential officer attention. Most people have probably learned after 28 eras though that rank 1 counts for sweet FA.

Anyway, I'm doing alright for someone who joined the party late.
