I should mention the reason I invite comparison is because I’m a decidedly intuitive thinker.

If you’re not aware, most people break to being mechanical or intuitive thinkers, with more balance one way or the other. Utopia is loaded with mechanical thinkers because the game is mechanical cigarettes for the soul.

I’ve enjoyed great success in gaming over the years and joined utopia when I freed myself from my X. Because I played paper & pencil for decades I already had great feel for what’s effective. That said, I can’t even mathematically solve a ratio. I can eyeball it, but even with a calculator I’m lost on it. Thus, I invite all you mechanical monstrosities to offer guidance.

While I can offer a new naive player my experiences I’m sure most will gravitate to the hard numbers to confirm their fears or endeavors. Any time I let someone sit my province it’s always “messed up” when I return because intuitive and mechanical thinkers operate in different spheres. My provinces will always look like a crack den to a mechanical thinker, but I know what’s under every pile of clothes or stack of papers. I mention this so if a stray intuitive thinker happens by; “hello”, you’ve found the other one.
