Key to Solving Morale/Excess Pop. Problem

March 30, 2003 5:31 PM from

... in my opinion, is to castigate population growth. This means NOT spending any points on "pop growth" ability. Avoiding Wonders/Trade Goods that improve that ability. Avoding Galactic Resources that improve the ability.

Do you think this will or won't work? I haven't actually play tested this so maybe I'm just talking rubbish... please comment.

no, its worth a try! So far, nobody who is involved in the game development seems to care about the potential issue with morale being a game buster. So far all I've heard is work-arounds or insinuations that if you cant control morale...well, you just dont know how to play the game so quit whining. trouble is, I've heard that kind of defensiveness before..on ANOTHER board.
I'm going to try that, Kon, because it may be a good additional workaround.

morale used to suck for me too. basically just do whatever you have to lower your tax rate. lease techs, make trade routes, anything so you can lower taxes but still break even or higher. once you got your basic defenses down start building starbases, not just on resources but in every unhappy sector and start building morale building modules.
