A few questions about capitalization:
It must be there for a reason, but I personally never use it. I'm usually too busy covering my butt in the military department, or building up my stockpile of cool attack toys like howitzers, and that's only when I get to the modern age, which certainly isn't always.
I always assumed Capitalization was an inefficient waste of resources, and using it was a sign of economic decay. But recently I've read Starlifter's and others' posts on super-governments and ultra-efficient economic growth. Up to now, I've thought of myself as a fairly good economist, and am usually delighted to have a tech advance rate of 1/8 to 1/16. Reading about one-per-turn tech advances and thousand-gold incomes makes me wonder: am I missing something here? Is capitalization ever a good option?
