I have tended to always get the Benevolent tree. Its just too damn good to not grab. I tried playing Pragmatic but some of the 3rd tier choices are not worth the investment of point vrs what they give.
Malevolent, now I can see this really helping a warmonger...but..you would be crushed by benevolent fleets as they have the higher production against your stronger ships. Some of the Malevolent ideologies should be reworked to change how unhappiness affects the loss in production. Unhappy? Ok step into this here personal incinerator and will can discuss it, otherwise get back to work!
So what are you thoughts?
