Please, please someone compile all of these great calculations into a strategy guide or something!

wow, when I finally get the game, I probably won't be able to find all of these calculations you guys have ran...and I sure as heck don't have time to do 'em!

Hate to burst your bubble but in the next patch they won't be cumulative. No one wants to have to work out algebra problems in order to compete anyway, do they ?

They're gonna be non-cumulative? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Actually, I won't be all that heartbroken if it's changed. Are they gonna change it for research facilities/computers too? The same formula should apply to them, and I'll miss that a lot more.

I really don't think that the cumulative effect is unbalanced, especially when it takes so much longer to build a factory.

As for needing to do the algebra, I don't think it's necessary to do that to compete. I did the math out because it was fun and interesting to see that kind of complexity in the game.

Seeing as how I spend a couple of hours each day helping teach people algebra, this thread makes me happy.
