Much less cheesy then you think. You said that you wan Tech victory in 1.03 in 3 hours. It takes almost the same time to build good ship catapult. And it's definately less cheesy than Influence resources - it's too micro- and time-expensive to be really cheesy. Also, it don't allows you to win in unfavorable conditions - don't forget that you must build all these constructors before you'll get a bonus. And if you get it, you still can't effectively use it because of the difficulty of st

Ok. As i already said, if fairplay is over, so be it! Better join Apolyton empire because you'll get my Tiny Masochistic Walkthrough and you'll be in top 25 on Metaverse in ~10 hours if you want to. Also, you'll be part of great strategy gamers community, and this is a good thing IMHO (at least i'm happy with that).

To Twirlip It seems that traderoute age measured in months, not in trips (and it's logical - or shorter trade rotues will recieve too high modifier compared to longer ones). But you'll get more (several times difference) if freighter at the end of a trip - so a freighter on a turn 138 of 140 traderoute length gives several times more than same freighter on a turn 2 of 140 (this numbers are on the Domestic Policy->Trade ). Also, this value because the mini-freighters were always in the s

[quote]Er, so its a mod?[/quote] What mod??? No mods of course. It's standart 1.03 Gigantcic/Abudant/5 Incredible AI game. I started it in 4 May 2003. Trade Catauplt (tm)+War Catapult(tm) - near enemy, 240 speed range - covers almost all galaxy in both ways (so i can fly, attack and return). Goal was to win Military w/o culture flipping/tech trade and relatively fast. ~SDC~

No, it's just a Trade Catapult(tm). 140 +50% trade starbases and ~+120 speed - so freighters staying in one place (really they are moving all trade route in one turn). Don't know why, but trade route length in Trade screen is 140 (but a speed bonus is 120). Freighters staying in 138/140 position - so virtually they'are always at the end of the route - better income. 680 constructors, 136.000 production points (+waste), 700 bc/turn maintenance. A real WONDER, not like any in-gam
