So what level is recommended for ER and reproduction?
ER 81% and repro 100%?
I mean, what gives most points without sacrificing too much.
Is there a standard, as ground combat standard seems to be 51% (or was it 50%)..

Empire Starting Percent Reproduction := 10 (settings.txt)

Quite right Asmala, but starting happiness is "happy", so we are actually in agreement. Indifferent/Unpleasant is the 0/0 point.

Beats me. What I have noticed is, if you crank repro too high, it seems you end up with half your fleet as pop. transports to keep any kind of control.

What I think is there is a range of "reasonable" values for repro. ER at 81, does seem optimum.

Try Berserkers, 51 ER, 105 Happiness, 109 Reproduction. No net effect (except for a 1% bonus to happiness), as many free points as you can get from ER.

What's the best ratio for ER and reprodution. Well, there isn't only one answer to this. If you want you can go to almost none-reproduction with 50% ER and 91% RP but I don't recommend that.

If you want to get some reproduction just set ER to 81% and don't touch to RP.

Finally there is the best ratio (at least I think so) which I use almost always. By setting ER to 81% and RP 110% you have 27% reproduction in optimal/jubilant planet and that's quite much. Also dropping ER to 81% and raising RP to 110% costs +225 points so you get points instead of losing them.

That also gives a 3% happiness penalty, which doesn't make that big a difference, but it does make some.

If you don't touch Happiness that 3% doesn't matter at all because only every 5% of Happiness are counted just like ER. Do you know how worthless Happiness is? (And to avoid confusion I mean only this game

)
