Scales under CB
I have been playing races recently that my strategy relies heavily on taxes. Looking at the scales in CB, Order is the obvious choice. But when looking at what I can take a hit in, theres not much options. Production/Sloth Heat/Cold Growth/Death all have moderate to large impacts on gold income.
Net Gains Per tick
Order/Sloth +3%
Order/Heat/Cold +1%
Order/Death +3%
You are putting a lot of points into one basket for minimal gain.
The only real options are Magic and Luck. Personally I really like some luck, and taking Drain outside of Ulm can really hurt you in the long run with any race that doesn't have access to cheap researchers.
In a regular richness environemnt all of the above is amplified. I see a lot of people taking Order while taking a hit in atleast one of the above mentioned scales. I was wondering what your opinions are on this.
