Spore – Optimizing Vehicles.

Basic’s

 
Now to have an effective vehicle or a vehicle of your needs you need to think of one important thing. What are the stats going to be like? Such as HP, Power and Speed. 
This will lay the foundations off what vehicle you will make depending on what type you chose to do, 
Pretty simple. 
 
 

Speed Oriented:

 
 
 
 
Speed Oriented vehicles typically have lots of parts like thrusters and really any part that gives a massive speed boost. 
Pros: 
Good Travel: Vehicles like this are great for reaching long distances points that usually take long to get to for other types. Which is great for tasks such as Capturing a mine, Getting to other cities quickly, and scouting. 
Multi-Tasker: Due to it being quick and being able to reach points easier, you can also complete certain tasks easier although this isn’t the case for everything due to some of its cons… 
 
Cons: 
Weak: Vehicles like this unfortunately have to sacrifice their other stats like power. Speed oriented vehicles are the worst for attacking since they take so long to take other cities down and their buildings as well as hypnotizing another city, that your entire army would of been already dead by then. 
Fragile: Unlike other types, Speed oriented vehicles can not take any beating what so ever and you have to be careful with them. A few shots from an enemy? Half your vehicles are dead or severely damaged. 
 
What Play Through are they Best at?: 
Mostly if your playing Religious or Military, Speed oriented vehicles are THE worst thing you could ever use as they can barely do damage nor take any damage and hits at all. And even as distractions they suck at that too when it comes to combat. 
 
However, Speed oriented Vehicles are decent for a Economic play through as your main goal isn’t really to fight, just to find and buy cities by trading with them so being able to get to cities quickly is a good trait. Although you still have to consider the vehicles low power or in this case (Economic power) which can hinder your ability to buy cities and make relationships. 
 
 

Health Oriented:

 
 
 
 
Health Oriented Vehicles have lots of bulk and equipment that gives them a lot of Health Bonuses. 
Pros: 
“Tank”: Due to these vehicles immense amount of HP, they can actually take a lot of hits and this can help them in attacking or hypnotizing other cities as they won’t be destroyed so often. 
Long life: Because these vehicles have lots of HP and won’t die off to quick, you don’t have to replace them that often in some or most cases which saves money and is more efficient. 
 
Cons: 
Cumbersome and slow: It takes forever for a HP Oriented vehicle to do tasks and reach points like another city or a mine because they are extremely slow and can be hard to use and control at times due to this. 
Weak: While a vehicle like this can take a hit, it can’t throw a hit back that hard. That’s because like Speed Oriented vehicles they had to sacrifice all their other stats so HP Oriented vehicles have a hard time destroying other cities especially. 
 
What Play Through are they best at?: 
When it comes to playing Economic, HP Oriented vehicles are the WORST at it since their slow speed makes them take forever just to reach another city to meet and trade with and the fact that their power stat is low that means making strong relationships is harder. And most importantly, HP isn’t really required for Economic vehicles. 
 
They also do suck at Military campaigns since although they have great HP to take a lot of hits they can’t really destroy other cities all that quick so its a double edged sword. However, HP Oriented vehicles are a bit good for religious campaigns since power isn’t needed to much and Religious vehicles take lots of damage typically every city they hypnotize and capture so its important to have 
high amounts of health. Again though you still need to consider the low speed and low power. 
 
 

Power Oriented:

 
 
 
 
Damage Oriented vehicles have lots of weapons that have high or even max power levels. 
Pros: 
Destruction machine: Power Oriented vehicles are great for tasks like destroying (Or Hypnotizing Cities and trading with them) and destroying other vehicles as their high firepower allows them to do the job very easily and more efficient. 
 
Cons: 
Cumbersome and slow: Like HP Oriented vehicles, Damage Oriented vehicles have terrible speed and take a lot of time to reach certain points like cities which sort of hinders its only upside. 
Fragile: Like the opposite of a Health Oriented vehicle, Damage Oriented vehicles can Throw a hit real hard but can’t actually take one. You have to be VERY careful with an army of vehicles like this as once your in danger you can’t escape and you have to fight and bet on your high damage to save you since your vehicles HP is also low. 
 
What Play Through are they Best at?: 
Damage Oriented vehicles suck at all play through’s sadly, but the one they suck at the most is the Economic Play Through since getting to cities is hard with slow speed and although high power can allow you to form a strong relationship between a city to trade, you also shouldn’t go overboard and at least have some HP. 
 
Religious campaigns are also bad for Damage Oriented vehicles as you need a vehicle that has balanced stats and at least Some Health and Damage Oriented vehicles lack that all. The best campaign that Damage Oriented vehicles are even OK at are military ones, where being able to destroy cities and other armies quickly and efficiently is a good upside. 
 
 

Median (Balanced stats):

 
 
 
 
Median vehicles have all types of equipment for each stat with not to little nor not to much. 
Pros: 
Multi-Tasker: Due to their balanced stats, these vehicles can do decent in doing most things even though they aren’t best at it all, they still are good enough for them and can do a wide range of tasks from simple ones like capturing a mine or scouting, to destroying, hypnotizing and trading with cities. 
All-rounder: Because of their balanced stats, Median vehicles have lots of skills that every other oriented type of vehicle lacks which makes Median vehicles a unique and great pick. 
 
Cons: 
Not the best at everything: While this is only a mild inconvenience, Median vehicles can’t do everything perfectly and should be taken and used with some strategy before hand so you don’t make the wrong decision. 
 
What Play Through are they Best at?: 
Overall, Median vehicles are actually great for all play through’s as they have balanced stats and can do each thing just right enough and efficiently enough as well as the fact that they can achieve more than most other types of vehicles. Although they are still defiantly no win button either.
