Productive Scale needs some Enhancements

[CUnknown]

Baalz, I trying not to disagree, honest!

But..but.. are you really saying that Productivity is worthy, is the same way that Order, or Magic, or even Luck are worthy?

I agree that early expansion is extremely important. Productivity can certainly help with that, but so can other things: an awake combat pretender, cheap bless troops, good archers like Longbowmen, low-resource effective troops like Ilithids or something like that, etc.

If I had no low-res cost units, no longbows or Marignon crossbows, no cheap bless troops, and I still felt the need for a good early expansion, I would invest my points in a good combat pretender -- and that's a gift that keeps on giving past turn 12. And of course rapid early expansion is not always even necessary.

There are other, better ways to get what Productivity gives you.
