Its venture capitalism people. You can take the risk of a small hw for a big gain, and possibly take huge losses. Or you can play it safe and invest in low interest mutual funds, cds, IRA. Big hws. Welcome to the real world.

It is so funny when you think about it...

First you cry that there's no HWs to take, now you weep that noone wants to capture HWs. Nothing changed and will not be changed at all.
Oh, and with those variations of interest come other problems that make this game not worth to be spent your time in.

One big LOL

Warp rules :P

this is better for people who have under 25-50mil of each rec (depending on how many planets)

the way i see, i may be wrong. people will feed the big hws with troops from many low defense planets. keeping the lows at a sustainable level while expanding because of interest.

Not a bad model. Makes for a lot more points, however, if you find a "farming HW" with 8 million defense. Nice planet to capture, unless it has a massive amount of turrets on it, and might still be worth taking for the points even with the turrets.

this may induce higher points but it also could induce stagnation.

Let me make sure that I understand correctly, it is a percentage based on each resource, so if you have 10M T on the planet the T earn the 0.2% and if you have 1M S on the same planet the S will earn 2%. Or is the percent based on grand total of resources on the planet.

It is based on each resource. Percent interest declines as level of resources increases, so you effectively earn no incremental interest on any extra resources over 1 million for each resource, starting on May 1st, but you earn double current interest (for all resources but troops, and quadruple interest for troops) for 1 million or less of resources.

So, interest is very strong for smaller amounts of resources, but reaches a peak or levels off once you have more than 1 million of each resource on a planet. But, you could have 16 M of T and E and still get maximum 2% interest on all other resources if you have 1 million or less of each.
