Hi. I haven't really played Utopia in forever, and I'm noticing how much things have changed (a lot!). But to do a science pump at start of age or start of province, I've considered a few strategies. Of course when age 49 comes, I might have to tweak (or change completely) my strategies, but I am asking for a foundation on this. I could very well be a monarch next age too. I know for now my personality will be Sage, that's a given. It's pretty much a buff to everything. Oh as far as role... A/t/m (emphasizing the 'A').
One idea: DE
to pump defspecs in prot:
explore whatever (or not maybe, or should I? to how much?) then build...
50% banks
30% armouries
10% guilds
10% farms
after I have enough defspecs (12 per acre so 60 dpa) the science pump...
also not training thieves at the moment
50% banks
30% schools
10% guilds
10% farms
how long should the science pump be? a week?
well after the science pump...
what about an optional elite pump step? after I have my pop sci up and such I'll need to train expensive leets, even though they're weak.
Or should I go with offspecs instead? And of course I would get at least 2 raw tpa and hopefully 1 raw wpa (is 10% guilds throughout the age enough to keep 1 wpa?)
finally...
20% tg's
20% forts
20% rax
20% libs
10% guilds
8% farms
2% dungeons
will this work? I would use 20% rax to get down to 12h attack times, hopefully a little less for some wiggle room, only attacking 2 rounds per day. Should forts be replaced by gs? What about stables?
