Execution of Old Guns by Variable-Speed Firing Squad

[WhiteHawk]

there is no reason for gun_1254 (11*114) to use herschels (4104 -> 3760)

Code: Select all

That 11x multiplier can be pulled in two more fd with a weld (one more without a weld):

Code: Select all

I don't think a solution exists at further compaction, unfortunately.

Remember that Population reductions can be made now, so that 31.4 (or 34.1 in this instance?) variant can be reduced (I already resubmitted it)

Also reduces guntrue_2508 (4698 -> 3666)

Code: Select all

x = 78, y = 47, rule = B3/S23
