Caesar IIIvsDyson Sphere Program
Caesar III leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Dyson Sphere Program leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
Caesar IIIDyson Sphere Program
Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 2
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization9 vs 10
Dyson Sphere Program leans harder on optimization: Interstellar logistics and sphere construction are a pure engineering optimisation problem
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
