Brad Wardell's Sample Games

June 7, 2003 3:47 PM from

On the encyclepodia site, Brad Wardell has 5 sample games he played. Question for Brad (or anyone else for that matter): In all 5 games, you seem to be able to build Constructors at will, and battleships almost as easily. How is that? Reason I ask is that in the few games I've played (won some, lost some) it takes about 40 to 50 turns before constructor production **starts** to pick up. When I start out, most planets will take 35 to 50 turns to produce ONE constructor! About half-way through a game, assuming I survive that long, I'll have two or three planets -- at best -- that can produce a constructor in under 20 turns. So how are you (seemingly) able to produce so many so fast? And battleships, too?

Thanks! :notsure:

100% Military spending can get you constructors in ~20 turns on a decent plant fairly early on...

Consructors were cheaper in earlier versions, too.

I can get the the time building a constructor down
to 5(6 turns after counting the 0 turn)
at the very start of a game.

using +pq, +military production, industrust
maxing military spending and maxing government spending.
