Conceptual Balance Series (Mod)

Very nice sheet. I especially liked the part where you have the huge formula and just note "we assume the situation's mostly identical, therefore". Sure sign of a pro.

Hehehe - I take that as a compliment

Might it be beneficial for the sheet to have some graphs if it were to be used as a testing template? I played with some plots but didn't come up with anything I'd consider too useful (like, a scatter plot of accumulated incomes of order/growth with different values or something...).

I tried to come up with some graphs myself, but they weren't too informative, but I'll toy around with it, now that I know that someone has looked it

Might not be a worth the trouble, especially if you intend to use the sheet just to bash your point in.

Well it was never my intention to hammer any point through, I just got curious when Turin mentioned Growth being better than Order when considering income - that seemed a bit odd. And then I got thinking on: "How would I include the Order-event-frequency-reduction-effect in a simple semi-correct manner". It seems that growth is better than order even with this inclusion, but only in longish games, and in a way that seems balanced. Either you want more money early on and with a little more security (lesser risk of bad events that could cripple you economy early on) - then it's Order you want. Or you want more money in the long run, and have the time to wait - then it's Growth.
