Your greatest ship? in Strategies Stardock Forums

I'm just drawing to the end of my gigantic game and have just chucked out an Excalibur. Though I started as the Tech Party I've got a nifty +276% weapons, +284% defense and +90% hitpoints.

Anyway, my point is - is there an event that gives you d

I never thought of changing the victory conditions, but I can't help but feel it's a bit of a cop out :P I tried sitting quietly in my corner of the galaxy churning out constructors and not bothering anyone. Then the Drengins decided they wanted my tasty skin and since they had most of the remaining galaxy the wasn't much I could do about it :sniff!: I think I just need more practice (which is of course an excellent excuse to play more often LOL) Cheers, <b

Technological Victory in Strategies Stardock Forums

Has anyone managed to win with a tech victory? I've tried a couple of times but a number of problems conspire to defeat me: 1. It takes absolutely ages to get to the end techs so you're in for a very long game 2. Your opponents will be developing while you research so you may fall behind militarily, culturally or economically 3. Play your cards right and become a galactic power and you risk a cultural victory by accident 4. If someone declares war on you and can't be appease
