Poll: What colonists do you take with u?

[Acken]

Wow really? I thought it would be limited. Definitely production for me then.

How can refugees be comparable to that at all? Unless all cities start at size 2?

This poll is incorrect. Go look at the other thread for real numbers and options.

I will take aristocrats for my first game, as I want to try to recreate a science-fiction setting from a book.

Scientists would be my first choice followed by engineers. Both for practical and roleplaying reasons.

Has energy rushing production been confirmed? If so definitely going Aristocrats as I find that much more useful than a straight production bonus, plus you are getting a health bonus.

I dont think it's confirmed but it's very likely to be the case.

The real question is how much gold is equal to a hammer. In civ5 it was in the order of 4-5 gold for 1 hammer (variable) before reductions. Once reduction were kicking in, it makes gold very attractive however.

Energy rushing has been confirmed in the aliens are not barbarians videos where an extra explorer was rush bought.

But 1 production might not equal 1 gold. If it does then Aristocrats would be too OP.

Generally with my playstyle I find being able to rush something strategically RIGHT NOW much more useful if I have to do something even remotely reactionary. I prefer the flexibility even if production bonus is mathematically superior.

Though I'm wondering how Refugee bonus is going to work out with the outpost mechanic.
