Handicaps and Power Generators

[Spikey00]

I'm wondering why with handicaps, the power generators produce the same amount of power, but with a penalty of the same resource multiplier?

eg.  300% Handicap
T2 PGen Provides
40 000 Energy
- 60 Metal
- 60 Crystal

With no handicap, the penalties are I believe -20 of both resources.

Is this intended?

I believe that costs scale so its actually possible to play the - resource games, otherwise once you hit a certain point, your initial power costs would be more than what your starting planet+command center gives.

Its actually a base cost of 15, so its 300% more(15x4=60).

Whoops, thanks for correcting me.

I understand; though isn't that what handicap players want?

Actually, handicap players specifically requested in the past that energy values not be affected.  Because basically then the game was just way too easy in certain respects, whereas with the handicap it is easier, but not ridiculously so.

Yeah, I could imagine it being easy with a handicap with energy multipliers.

Thanks!
