I'm just playing one set again for PDMs 75th and thought, "Well, what the heck. I'll build more EZ's than res'!" Problem is, I have no point of reference to know if there is any benefit to what I'm doing. So, my tax revenues, (This doesn't include expenses and is not my $$ per turn btw), are $9,727,000 on 16486 acres, 8235 EZs and 7280 Res'. Bus/Res is sitting around 178% and 177% Bus/Res. Thoughts? Am I crazy? (Probably) Anyone have a comparison they could share that's similar?

tbh I haven't done any of the numbers myself but most in LaF will tell you to go 11(ez)-10(res) ratio. Based on that its probably the most optimal way to run the strat.

They're very good at maths so I trust them.

11:10 ez to res is generally pretty close to optimal. When food prices get high an even slightly higher ratio of ez:res is better, but 11:10 is a pretty good ratio in general

i myself use a 22:20 ez to res ratio

the other ppl posting here don't know what they're doing

I try to stay between 15-20% more EZ than res.

Trife... can I ask what the difference is between 22:20 and 11:10?? They're the same man! You should try 33:30!

22:20 is better than 11:10

it's math, and this isn't high school so i dont need to show my work! :P neener neener

In my, honest, opinion: unless you're going for #1 and trying to squeeze out every cent possible to achieve that don't worry about it.

So unless you're thinking about actually winning, don't worry about it. Got it.

Boo.

lol Nuke.

Thanks guys. Math hurts the old head lately. I will attempt the 44:40 ratio Trife has suggested ;)

LOL!
