For the Orania War MP game over on DominionsX...

I'm Tien Chi.

You'd have to state what theme you are using and what effects you are going for.

You should try and break that habit. In ANY question, there is never a "best". There is only pros and cons.

As the options indicate... Spring and Autumn is definitely my intention at the moment. The terrain around tien chi in the scenario won't really support a high resource strat.

If someone else has a different theory, I'd be eager to hear it.

I was focusing on paths in my response, because the scale settings for S+A are pretty automatic...

T1 (required)
L3
M1+ (required)

I prefer growth over productivity, since you can overtax and take climate for more nation points (if needed) without supply hell, but that's just me...

I did give an example of how the points might be spent, but I didn't want to constrain the choices prematurely, since I'm hoping someone has a clever suggestion.

Of course, Gandalf....but I am soliciting opinions, not ex cathedra level Bulls.

I gave a context and asked for a preference, with footnotes, if needed.

Do I seem chronically epistemically simplistic, or was I just using casual idiom?

I would think that if you feel constrained by resources, you'd want all of it that you can get, hence taking Productivity over Growth. Perhaps I'm overlooking something?
