I've gotten some great planets off of them - the major ai players never seem to try hard to reclaim their manufacturing capitals, etc, and the jk planets are easy pickings. If they were an organized faction they might represent a nice challenge, but unless you have set a goal to finish in a certin time, they are nothing more than another speed bump.
I think it would be fun to play the Dread Lords with a time limit - X turns (adjusted for galaxy size) to conquer everything before the Arnor swoop in and end the game. Or, to play against them and try to survive until the turn limit. Difficulty level would determine how much tech the other races start the game with.

Thanks neilo, all is forgiven. We'll just have to stomp your team now, that's all. ;)
Hey, neilo, you missed me. Can I still get my character Peril in on this round?
Thank you, gentlemen. I put myself in the MVL empire - lol @ Olympic rings! I seem to have some homework ahead of me - will there be a test? :) Peril is going to be my League character - my first foray into the Metaverse while I decide what empire I would like to join for regular gaming. Thanks for the Tyranny invite - I've seen your thread, you guys are hilarious. The one thing I seriously dislike about playing evil is that once you build the mind control center, you stop be
Is this still the right place to sign up for league play? I created a meta character tonight - Peril - in hopes of getting in on the next round. I will sign up for the league empire if selected to play.
[quote]ONLY KILL IN THE NAME OF LOVE[/quote] lol - that sounds like a new James Bond movie... with Bon Jovi performing the theme song! Every time I play a big galaxy game with tech victory and surrenders enabled, one of two things happens: 1. One of the aliens gets to tech victory first; or 2. One of the aliens (usually the Korath) start gobbling up the other empires; they always seem to surrender to t
Will a bundle version of the game and both expansions be available? It was listed for a while in the Stardock store, but it's not there anymore.
I think once it gets toward the end of the game, the remaining AIs go into some sort of permanent crisis mode where they don't research much (if at all) and don't build much on their planets; they just keep building warship after warship, bankrupting themselves to the point where their population won't grow, either.
Yeah!
The ability to place a mining base or other type of non-population-growing outpost would be nice, though. There could be modules that would increase ship speed in the area like military bases, influence booster modules, etc.
I just went back to check the status, and the bundle is no longer offered. Does anybody know what happened to it?
