My first 1000BPA

[Lets Get Real]

So I have finally reached 1000BPA as a Sage this age! No I am not here to brag or anything but it is my first time being a sage. I am sure many have already reached this mark in the age because I have been in war nearly 3 total weeks and fortified to finish that up to 4 total weeks with only active pump. What I am posting is whether my distribution seems good for a Heavy Attacker, non Human/Dwarf/half/faery (So no econ mods and dont wanna give too much info)

And I am just curious, whats yalls science lookin at at whatever your BPA is

Housing looks low - especially as you get into higher science amounts, housing is the best spot to keep dumping points. It's hard to find where it should have come from though, since all sci is good.

Food is the only obvious spot that's a bit high. Except dwarf, your decreasing the need for a building that started at 10% anyway... not worth a whole lot of points. Half of that into pop might be a small improvement. (Or, since it won't move... just don't get more.)

BE is maybe the last spot to take any from - it matters less than it looks I've usually found. Especially with no income mods, the income sci is good where it is, but skimming 25-50 bpa from BE into housing might gain you a last tiny bit.

Within Thievery vs. Magic - magic impacts runes as well as wpa, so it gets a little more cause it's a space saver in the build. Depends on what your target mods are though - an A/t wants them even, an A/T wants thievery higher (and on par with BE).

Overall it looks very good though, only small adjustments. We're talking about squeezing at most 1-2% more offense out of the same size/bpa, so you'll not even notice the changes really... but if you can, take every edge you can get!

This is my spreadage for A/T. Would like to concentrate on getting the pop up higher.

(not me) elf/sage. this is with about 9% libs. if only she would let me raze her down a few hundred acres...

you guys say pop more important. overall i would say yes, but i feel pumping income first is better. nothing like cold hard cash! more pop gives more eco, but can also offer more 'issues' if not handled properly, and can very easily make you a big learn target to many very fast. im with you guys on the food though, 50-75% bonus seems enough to me.

@ ethan and lestat, how do you feel about homes being run on science like this or better? i could justify about 15%, though wouldnt a prov with sci like this not really need to bother?

[Lestat]

Well generally I do Income first too, but probs only half of what she has put in there (generally 100BPA). I don't really do homes at all, so I def think it would be unnecessary. I am happy with the current levels for the other parts (for my size) so would ideally like to double the pop science.

Gotta protect those books so having more shouldn't be an issue. Sage bonus + 10% schools (absoulte min if well over 1000BPA) I'll run those bad boys right up untill war (to protect from random learns and hostile learn wave) then drop them for rax or something.

[krof]

ive noticed even for myself, usually as non sage pers, that the income first really helps boost the others. though i dont keep logs or anything, and may have just seemed that way with little changes in the ages.

what you say makes sense. right now she has 14% homes with 101% BE. i wonder what BE would look like with out them with all other things constant... i know she has 15% schools, like u says, an absolute must after so much

[Lestat]

Well the BE science is very nice so I think those 14% could be a lot more valuable elseware. I have 69% draft with around 8% wizz = 85 BE

[DDodge]

@krof

depends on your honor too, but yes with that much science in housing homes are getting modified huge, if you are viscount or higher run them.

[Darkz Azn]

pop sci isnt so serious ... =)

a spread is better than cramming all them points in pop sci ... odd ... diminishing returns in term of eco ... odd

Super pumped now lads:
