Can somebody explain exactly how important is a planet's food? With most planets terraformed to about level 15, I generally build two farms. Would it make sense to double or triple that?
I've been playing GC3 for quite a bit now, but I'm still fuzzy on the relationship between raw production and population.
Incidentally, I may be dreaming, but I have the impression that the Normal AI is much stronger with 1.3. I've lost a few games, or abandoned some when it looked like victory was possible but would take years.
