Lucius II leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Raft leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
Lucius IIRaft
Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 2
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 4
Raft leans harder on variance: Island loot tables and resource drift introduce randomness
Optimization6 vs 7
Raft leans harder on optimization: Raft expansion, food chains, and research order are solvable systems
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
