Play evil, save and load until you get at least a +40% PQ colonization event. No worries

Gengis Khan: As soon as you have transporters and star fighters on a tiny or small map, wax at least 3 races before they ever break 3 billion in pop. Should try to kill one before they break 1 billion. Dine on the ashes. Should be able to kill the others in short order as well. Iron Clad: Control all military resources, build all starship improvements, build one Excalibur from said planet, name it Omega (the end), own all :HOT:. You will feel like an Iron Clad ship going up
Thanks for the interest Theoden :). Ive been using the pop growth pick for quite a few games now actually and it seems to be working awesome. Its important to use it in conjuction with morale or PQ picks. Being evil helps too due to taking the +PQ colonization events. This is becuase pop growth means little if you cant keep your morale at 100. You can do it when your a good guy too but morale resources become the golden fruit. Having a high growth rate gives you HUGE advantage in p

Hmm, dont know why your getting that JP. Ive had no trouble getting a map with some space. Just ctrl-n a bit. Save the game, turn on cheats, hit ctrl-u, check positions of other races, and ctl-n if you dont like it. If its good, then just reload the game.
Started my first ever gigantic map this weekend. The thing is freakn huge and my comp is ca-chunking along with it >:( . Seems like I just upgraded the paper weight too. Oh well. Its also my first time having one of the AI's set to incredible. Normally I wouldnt have that many firsts in the same game but I really wanted an epic drawn out battle. I set the YOR to incredible since they are dead by midgame in every other game Ive played. I wanted to be able to see what they looked like whe
I always ctrl-u at the start of a game to see if Im going to like the map or not. I also use it to see where the other AI's and minors are. Doesn't really feel dirty when I do it. Last couple of games I have still taken the first map generated and have not used ctrl-n.
Excaliburs are strong but, you have to have military resources and starship quality improvements to get the full use out of them. Any ship can take out higher ones if it has the benefit mil resources etc and the other guy doesnt.

I think that trading for frieghters is good on a situational basis. It definitely has more value on the really large maps. Otherwise, it will take 6 years to get your trade started and your eco will be severely stunted. Baring that though, I think its too expensive. They simply want to many techs for 1 freighter. I dont have high diplomacy picks so that could have something to do with it. I dont use diplomacy that much. I try to dominate socially and then militarily. Im usually the econo
[quote]Yes come and join the MWC and you will find a nice community and down to eart people. [/quote] "eart"? What system is that in? LOL . Oh and how do your people feel about me? Do they get much trade from my empire? What morality are you? hehe. Just givn ya crap Mayito!! :HOT:

[quote] have a posted user score(John Hughes) of 19,457 points. OK a loss or two is in but well I lost those ones, better 136 in a loss than zero for a NO THANKS right?[/quote] Im guessing that you saw the game summary list your player score as 19,457. Unfortunately, this score means jack. The metaverse score thats listed under that is what will be submitted to the metaverse. This number is typically a lot less than the game score. Dont ask me why, cause I dont know. Clear
[quote]got it! : VOMIT :[/quote] awesome!! Thanks vincible! :VOMIT: I work in an ITC dept. I regularly deal with those who are pretty much computer illiterate. However, if they are nice to me, then I love helping them. If they are not, well.., they get referred to my boss :HOT:

By the way Mayito, just wanted to say my hats off to you for the way you handled this guy. You said all the stuff that I was going to but when I saw how he responded, I lost all respect and patience with him. Your better than me. I thank God for you.
