Most Advanced Faction Message

[I_damian]

Most advanced faction has to do with who makes the most money each turn. Simple as that. Not sure if it is affected by expenditure for that turn but it is at least based off of who has the highest base income.

So if "most advanced" = most money then
"richest faction" = ?

I was thinking perhaps richest faction could mean which one has the most money saved up, so nothing to do with how much it generated per turn but who actually has the most on that turn, but I seem to get "richest faction" when I'm only pulling in 4 or 5k a turn (after colossal amounts of army/navy expenses).
