If you ran max schools and libs from oop and 5 weeks forward you'll have 11M science. 9 weeks would mean 35M science.


At Y9, having 85% BE, 50%pop, 70ME and still having half your science to spend is obviously ridiculous. I dont even think the "gamebreaking" sciences comes close to that in OPness. Sure you can have -70% dmg but you could also have +400% magic science. Who is getting through that in the first place?

I do think you are on to something, that there should be a soft cap where square becomes cube
Well - others will have potentially similar WPA bonuses if they're also pumping WPA sci.

However - if two people equally pump offensive ops dmg (Cunning) and ops dmg reduction (Shielding), Shielding bonus wins vs the Cunning (with the ultimate win being at 100% Shielding, as even if the entire world of legends server combined all their science into one province and that province pumped Cunning, they'd still do 0 dmg to this one province with 100% Shielding).

But yeah, my point is more analytical and specific, where you're talking more about the game as a whole. I need to learn to how to think that way ^_^
