What I meant was that people in the 10th percentile can now afford things the 90th percentile from a generation a go could only afford, for example going three times a year on a holliday (perhaps this is only possible in Europe with the vast amount of leisure time we have compared to the US).

As to morale once more, does the average morale rating of your empire count for each individual planet's population growth rate. Or does the specific morale rating for a particular planet determine its growth rate? Thanks for your answers in advance!

As an professional economist I would have to argue that everyone should be paid according to their marginal productivity.

At 50% you get no pop growth bonuses. I thought it was 40%, at least it was this in Dreadlords. Has this changed with Dark Avatar or the newest patch for Dreadlords, because I don't have the expansion and/or the newest patch yet.

Thanks for all of the replies thus far, hope there will be more to come. Unfortunately I do not plan to spend more than € 350 on a single screen. Do all games, also the ones from 2 years ago, support widescreen monitors? Which manufacturer do you prefer? Besides galciv2 (of course) I wish to play fps on this screen.

Hi guys, I would like to hear your thoughts on this issue: wide screen ('vista ready') vs 4:3 (usual format) monitors. What do you prefer? Which one would you buy if you were to buy a new one? Let me know the pro's and cons. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your guide. Although I know many of your strategies it was nice to see these confirmed. Furthermore the ship buidling advice at the bottom was an excellent read. I hope there will be more versions. At what difficulty level do you play your games?

Why are new buildings on low-population outpost not worth it? (I read this in some other post) I thought that people only deliver money via taxes and that production is just matter of building stuff and of course directing money to it via expenditure sliders. So my question is: how are production and population of a planet linked? Are they linked at all? Thanks for your (potential) replies! (Hope this is not a newbie question)
