Tyranny or Dictatorship? Place your votes and a short description why you feel that way.

I am a tyr guy. I came up as a netter first, and better netting countries make better warring countries. In a clan setting you need dicts to break, but tyrs are the bread and butter. You can also run a nasty warring techer with a tyr, which is not an option with any other strat, and it freaking dominates. 1v1 tyr no question, dict can't make up for the extra turns.

They are both strong in their own way. Tyr is more efficient with turns, allowing you to do more war-stuff. Dict is more efficient with units, allowing you to kill more 25% units with the same number of units (or to have 25% less units for the same effectiveness).

Tyr is a must if you are a techer. Commie is a must if you are an Indy. For farmer and cashers, it makes no real difference, but if you are a restart, you probably want to be Tyr to build stuff with the extra turns. That is, there is more flexibility to being turn efficient, than being unit efficient.

i prefer dict due unit efficiency and no need to regain readiness after every other turn.

But regaining the readiness is where the tyr gets it's advantage. More spy ops, more missiles, etc.

sure if has those but as a restart and money being problem dict is handy.

*laughs @ n00b vic* :P

Well it's certainly easier to maintain a big dict, I'll grant that. :P

my best dict farmer (sets and changes ago) was ~46m nw and as tyr farmer ~same.

When you like the advantage of turn for war gains Tyranny is a great choice and when spy and brute force per unit is desired Dictatorship government tactics work best. Depends what your set up for and then the game is about the same plus minus your holdings. I like the Tyranny style of play better then the spy game Dictatorship forms offer.
