But then the Reapers would destroy them...

It's a lesson: Hard work never pays off. Just like in real life.


Wait, what? o_O

it still doesnt make any sense?

Heh, another thought to add to the pile. But yeah, the more troops you unite and bring to Earth, the more you're stranding there forever.

Maximum survived? by the end of the game my galaxy map had near enough every single place as a Reaper occupied territory and I assume if you don't do side missions that is the same as well, wouldn't that signify those species lost the battle anyway?

Yes. Also that.

Newsflash: Earth is Reaper occupied territory too, and the game assumes there are enough survivors to make "take back Earth" still valid (then again we all know the ending invalidates that anyway).

I think an EMS of 3000 or so means that the Earth is not destroyed. I also doubt that the future of the ME universe is as bleak as we imagine, unless BioWare want the next Mass Effect game to post-apocalyptic.

Given Anderson's multiple references to the Reapers "focusing on city centers" a Reaper showing up doesn't mean instant death for everyone. Plus, they would have been more effective defending their own systems without commiting forces to Shepard.

What are you assuming is the "best" ending?

[Stygian1]

.... but, I like green....red is icky....

[dsl08002]

In a certain point of view all the endings in me3 is a victory for
the reapers

Yes, your decisions and building your fleet do matter...they make the ending WORSE.

Wow I didn't even think about this...this is a really good point 

[ZacE7]

i dont understand your point

i had low a EMS so all of earth and my alliance troops were vaporized with the destroy choice

with a high EMS, earth survives the destroy choice as well as many of the alliance troops

with a very high EMS, Shepard survives the destroy option, and so do earth and alliance troops

And MORE troops/ships get stranded on Earth... while they could be closer to their home planet, since the Reapers were destroyed Galaxy wide, they could return to their homeplanets and rebuoild there, instead of being trapped on  earth

A high enough EMS to ensure that the first option you mentioned doesn't occur, but low enough that you don't needlessly strand more people on Earth.

Understand also that tounge is firmly planted against cheek in this post.

This is the best setup for the ending. As for the ending itself, what's your favorite color? I like red.

[pharsti]

Wait... then id have to suffer throu how many hours of that bland multiplayer >_>?

[Taleroth]

People are just staring at me. They think I've finally snapped. For the past couple of minutes I've just sat here with head in my hands laughing.

The moral of the story is that hard work dooms everyone.

The OP's point is: the more allied fleets you bring to Earth, the more allied fleets you have stranded if Earth survives, which means more people on a planet with limited ability to sutain life.  And that  not only means that more people will starve, but they'll all starve SOONER.

So if you want the MOST people to survive the endgame, bring as FEW people as possible to Earth.

Not sure how right OP is, but it's certainly an interesting perspective.

I would prefer to be wrong on this.
