I know you have to send a certain amount of units at PS/SS to maximize Ghost Acres, is it the same with GS as far as money/tech gained etc?

i'd say no.

Yea, I was around for that, and I understand the reasoning for that very well. However, you'll note the stealing is two orders of magnitude less than before -- it's only intended to be effective over the length of a killrun, not as a few dozen hits for stock-stealing

#4) GS stealing stuff again!

Because the food destruction component of GS always seemed a bit pointless, GS will now *steal* FOOD, MONEY, TECH, and OIL, and will NO LONGER DESTROY FOOD.

However, the stealing rate is ~0.05% peak rather than ~5% peak now. This is 100x *less* than currently.

Thus, if somebody were to have 100M bushels on hand, over 500 GS attacks they would have approximately 22% of it stolen.

A NW-matched Tyr with 126 turns making 65 attacks could be expected to take 3.8% of FOOD/MONEY/TECH/OIL
