Lord Kona wonders if there is enough time to conquer the galaxy once more prior to the 15th.

Great read. Please post more. Question : why are you avoiding the two military resources in your corner? Seems these would provide even more thump to your fleets.

I hadn't played the Drengin before your tournament. The "gameplay" is easier than the Terrans but requires a bit more micro (note: I'm still playing with DL).

As your empire grows, the tributes from the other races will flow.

In this game the Iconians had 10 planets (occasional planets setting) and surrendered to Lord Kona before our transports could even reach their space. Talk about pacifists...

Here's a few quick tips for you Dragon... these have worked well for me. Your mileage may vary. 1) Buy a factory on your homeworld turn 1. This jumpstarts everything... 2) Keep building factories on your homeworld until the colony rush is over. This will help you build colony ships and/or constructors FAST. 3) I research speed to Impulse II, Miniaturization, then sensors. Once

Here's the "pattern" for the Dread Lords campaign. Colonize first and foremost (where applicable). Then research speed and sensors. Create "sniper" ships by using a cargo hull with 1 weapon, 1 life support, and as many sensors and engines as needed to be FASTER than the Dread Lords. Once you have more speed than the DL, you can use your sensor range to find the undefended transport ships and destroy them (they usually have no defense). Ignore building any military ships, as the DL frigates and f

Sounds like Sign and Meta could use a few extra VRC improvements on their homeworlds.

Many thanks Wyndstar. For my first dabble in Metaverse gaming, this was quite enjoyable.
