If you have a limited amount of
-producing creatures,
I usually find upping hope to be better, unless the quanta is a big issue.
In this case you can have a maximum amount of 11
-producing creatures;
novae means you get some quick early
production.
I'd up hope.
also, if you get both a firefly and a pegy, you won't dive a lot.
Maybe something else would be better in pegy's place.
why did you do 'novope' while you could also do 'nohope'? :p
