The Literal Million Dollar Question

[Logi]

I've asked this before but I figure asking again in this more visible section would be conductive to getting answers.

Should I build Iberia to focus purely on BP (projected 1.5 BP per year) or purely on IC (projected +$10 per year).
What does the alliance think? Also what is the French and Netherlands economic plan over the next few years?

[Desertfox]

Well I figured IC cost is incremental so am planning on building all the ICs that will fit in Indonesia in one chunk, buy them while they are cheap. Will take about six years but will get a 50% increase in $ income. Also plan to increase BPs slowly till then. I say we concentrate on IC, till we get our colonies fully developed, then switch to BPs.

I have not finish my budget board.
I must finalise too my global defense plan to protect colonies & my east & west borders.
Like Foxy, I increase BP slowly.
But, I think that we have high probability of war early in the game.

I also want to focus on IC first given the deluge of free BP in the world market.

Like Jefgte I feel we have high probability of war early in the game. The potential war-makers make me feel particularly unsafe to focus on IC. I think I will focus on building more BP while improve my static defenses and navy.
