Thanks for tips, I like learning how people pull off wins so I can do it more often

Ya man, I just finished my first one too. I wanted to wait until I had a pretty firm grasp of the game before trying one. I see you started on masochistic, nice. I'm only about 50/50 on masochistic, any words of wisdom? I scored 41k points for my first game, but it took me 700 turns...a good couple of days....to conquer a gigantic galaxy. Is it better to play the harder difficulties on smaller maps, or long drawn out games on gigantic ones?
Too bad information warfare only seems to work once for me...once all the unhappy people are dead the approval seems to go to 100% next turn if invasion is unsuccesful. How low is their approval? It'd be cool to see a planet self destruct in a 90k vs 80k battle, all because of one little transport.
Some of you guys must be trying to run this game on a Commodore64 or something....for a new release this game is about as basic as you can get as far as eye candy. I get what you're saying though...I'm still miffed that I can't get Dead Rising to run on my Atari 2600.
