E.V.O.: The Theory of Evolution (46億年物語 THE 進化論)

 

Optimal Evolutionary Tree Progression

Moving to the next tier caps stats at that tier based on previous tier. Lateral progression allows for stats to be built to maximum levels for that tier.  Therefore, progressing in a zig-zag pattern produces maximum stat development.

Values relative to first byte:

9th = Planet race
10th = Planet ship type produced

16th = Planet population

Tips:

• Almost perfect Xchagger/Green Mycon world at Terpischore 1, Acubens 3.
• Decent Xchagger planets in Rasalas system. Rasalas 1 and 1a.
• Decent Green Mycon planet at Houynnhnm 2, Acubens 5a.

Game Plot Note: Not allowing the Syreen to mentally shield League races will result in a psychic attack by the Orz near the end of the game.

Orz: I am *expanding* with anticipation! There is no more *jumping in front*! It is finally the biggest *partytime*! All *Campers* must make happy *Friends* with their *secret sauce*! [...] Too much thanks to happy *Camper* Captain for removing the Syreen's *nasty tricks*, I am realizing!
