Also, we need to actually address the housing problem. Three phases of arcologies isn't gonna be enough; just refugee waves alone will overrun our Housing supply at that rate.
A three-phase commitment means we have a lot more Infrastructure dice (~20) to spend on other stuff... But it also means we're effectively forced to build more commieblocks.
Yes, because planned cities are inefficient. We actually legitimately need the housing for our population, it's becoming a very serious problem, and three phases won't keep us out in front of it unless we build a lot of other, shoddier housing elsewhere. Like, we'll be slamming out phase after phase of Yellow Zone arcologies if not actual commieblocks, and it's going to be something of a false economy.
Again, realistically, we have to shovel in a LOT of Free dice to make that happen. Not saying we can't or shouldn't, but we'll only have the big bonus from Philadelphia Phase 5 for eight turns, and that's only really enough to fully complete ONE station even with a sprinkling free dice. Not Enterprise AND Columbia. One or the other of those would have to get done entirely on the strength of free die commitments... a lot of them, averaging more than one Free die per turn over the whole Plan.
I like all of this except the 800-point Income promise.
But we CAN hit that if we spend Infra dice aggressively on glacier mines... or if we exploit the relatively low abatement target to let us get away with turning our huge Capital Goods surplus into vein mines.
You don't need the 800 RpT target to make the Market Socialists happy enough.
I'd rather commit to all six development projects. Development is very cheap. It is not a major sacrifice to make.
Promising the processing limit is a bad idea here. It doesn't net us more votes. It's probably to make Development happy I guess?
Promising to fund the probe missions is cheap enough that we should do it alongside of this and at least throw them a goddamn bone. They're a significant part of the government's coalition; if we promise them nothing it's gonna piss off a lot of the space supporters who are even making it possible to do space expansion.
I agree with Cryo that not trying to do this is out of character for Seo.
No real objections not listed elsewhere.
Honestly we can totally do this, it's just that some of the things are big individual megaprojects.
We can get to the 4000-point station target just by spending almost all our Orbital dice on stations, which is normally what we do anyway. One of the big station targets IS our orbital industry to run.
Three arcology phases is not much compared to what we can do. Five is rather more ambitious.
We love to do abatement, nobody here likes tiberium spread.
Doing the deployment right after is not mandatory, and doing developments is a small sacrifice to win votes.
No it doesn't, because we can't possibly finish it or even get close for years, and we need the glacier mines now.
