The effect of two races on a planet.

[tbontob]

Hi!

I feel I am missing something here. It is probably so obvious that I wouldn't notice it if it hit me full in the face.

Statements have been made that it is especially useful in a Proportions game.

The examples given apply to a standard game.

What I think is being said is "Growth of very small populations in both the standard game and the proportions game is in direct ratio to the number of races on the planet."

So, "Small (but equal) populations of two races will have double normal growth in the sense that each race will have a normal growth, but when taken together, the growth rate is doubled when compared to the growth rate of just one race."

Further, "It is particularly useful in Proportions because of its slow growth rate of populations."

Would this be an accurate assessment? Or am I still missing something?
