Should I even be trying to run 3 rally points right now? I'm really early in the chapter, and I'm trying to put what I learned in Mykan's Guide, Crazy Wizard's Info Page and Gems of Knowledge into practice. I've got 32 mushroom farms (but only upgrading 20 of them), at least 8 are in the space for a 4th rally point later on. I upgraded the portal to lvl 2, then the 20 farms to lvl 2. I'm now running 10 of the upgraded farms on hardshrooms and the rest on psychoshrooms. I cannot keep my rally points making debris because I keep running out of psychoshrooms. I seem to do okay with hardshrooms, have enough and then some for the next portal upgrade. Still only halfway on the debris. My plan *was* to upgrade the portal to lvl 3, then the farms to lvl 3, then the portal to lvl 4, then the farms to lvl 4. [Insert question here: Should I do the portal all the way to 4 before continuing with the farms? That would improve production on the lvl 1 farms as well, wouldn't it? hmmm] Once that's done, I was going to assess upgrading rally points for the improved collection times. Then decide how to go about making goods to make research goods and making the research goods. I've got all armories upgraded and producing orcs, and I have plenty of those.
What I'm thinking now is I may need to sell off a rally point and put in some more farms until I can develop an inventory of psychoshrooms. I know I'll lose some supplies when I sell them off, but that's okay, I'm good with supplies. The chapter is eating supplies at a rapid pace, but I'm well set to replace them. I have 200+ PoP spells and 200+ culture spells as well as a bunch of supplies instants. The other option is to upgrade more than 20 of the farms, but from everything I've read, I shouldn't need to do that. Plus, I'd use up what little debris I'm making doing that and then sell them off later anyway.
I don't really care that the chapter is going to take forever. I've slowed down anyway, and I'm happier. But, I would like to get to the point where I'm making the research goods. At least then I can open up the training grounds (need shrooms of wisdom for the expansion that unlocks it) and associated military units (none of those techs need guest race goods) and work on them while I'm working on research goods. Any input is welcome.
