Sort Builds
The builds below are well-balanced for the purpose stated, with some freedom of choice in certain cases. They usually seek to optimize one main game parameter (eg industry/money + growth, science, or combat) while at the same time providing the minimum required secondary supporting resources (eg money, growth, food, gravity). Play the build as the race/game archetypes suggest.
