[quote]Also, I don't really understand how Alliances work.[/quote] Some additional info on Alliances other then what is mentioned above: 1) Alliances mean that your relations with a race stays PUT so you don't have to worry about that race going to war with you which in most games is a worry to me even if they're at friendly. 2) If YOU declare war on a race then your ally/allies will not join the war in your favour automatically(for special reasons or on their on prero

Sorry I've been on hiatus for awhile but just wanted to say something on the matter rather then nothing. Straw Dogs, thats obviously an advantage. As for ARC, although I wouldn't say that it is not an advantage, its certainly not a be-all end-all advantage or even a very big one at that.. How you play, come up with the best way to use an ARC, spend your money, etc is still up to you. ...But as for advantage over DL, just as much advantage as inherent race abilities and SAs prov

Congrats, Silver! :CONGRAT: Not actually too disappointed because with my exams so close and other RL concerns, I would've been able to do [I]far far far[/I] less then Silver or Mumble... So, again... congrats, Silver, drinks on you. ;) Now where's Round 7?? :LOL: Also, I'd like to second KzintiPatriarch's and Neilo's nomination as scorekeeper.

[quote]I have a request for the next commish - this is due partly to the new forum format and the fact that you no longer go to the point in a thread where you left off last. For the screenshots in the OP that show settings for each round, could you just post thumbnails in the thread that link to full-blown versions? I know it's an extra step, but watching this thread load is almost enough to make me seasick as those big graphics make everything jump around. You also can't scroll down t

[quote]I do want to point out an exceptional piece of gamesmanship achieved primarily by FireBender. He managed to get an exact tie with a teammate in both speed *and* score and thereby "manufactured" an extra speed bonus point so that his team could grab a share of the win.

Even without spore weapons you can pull off a zero year win in a small(not tiny) galaxy. Its easy, I've done it 3-4 times. I used Yor Super Breeder with the Thalan HW([I]Adv. Race Customization[/I] by Silver) in my league game. One misconception that I think many people have is that supporting all that research needs a strong economy. And thus they devote ability points to economy along with the Federalists party. That racial bonus will get 50-80 bc max in the zeroth year which isn

Thanks for all the info guys but I think I'm of the faint hearted. I just don't have the patience to manufacture THAT many constructors and installing the modules. Though I will try. Maybe my next small game. Anyhoo, whats the secret of the curve? A penny for your secret.

The majority of your income comes from taxes. Taxes come from your population. Try to have a high population and keep that population happy(100% morale for as long as you can afford from turn 1, super breeder works best with this). Then when you can't afford to keep your population exceptionally happy, raise taxes and take your morale down to 46%. You'll find that you make more money by raising a larger happy population and then taxing them heavily then to tax the smaller population hea
