Libraries Worth It? Human Sage A/T

[Lead Pipe]

me and catwalk have the same thumb :) 800 bpa, then its worth considering. If someone has all their books in one category, libs might be good sooner, but chances are your science is not balanced.

[Catwalk]

Nah, libraries become worse if it's all in one category. 800 BPA in one category = far less total value than if spread out at least somewhat.

That said, I don't really know what a good allocation is with the new sci modifiers. We put around half on the econ fields, evenly distributed among them.

thats what i meant when i said "your science is not balanced"

So when does 20% or 30% libs become smart? And does "maxing" buildings, like say dens, have a significant impact? Since BE >100% has a disproportionate effect on how much is needed for max effect.

I personally get to about 25-30% libs by late age... but I might be overdoing it. I know that many are good for hyper-sci strats (old hum sage) but maybe not for the sci levels I'm reaching. (Though 2-3k total bpa is possible if I get chained a bit at some point).

Think Different

i think 25-30% libs is a bit extreme. With 1000 bpa, 20% seemed about right. The extra 10% still gives nice bonuses but i simply couldn't find a good strat with only 70% of my land. You will still need farms/ brx/ tgs/ forts/ tds/ guilds/ towers.

20% libraries are a poor deal at 1k BPA. At least the last 10% will be inferior to banks, and banks will be inferior to most other buildings.
