i dont think i CAN overspend with 1300bc/month in income LOL
i love em since i am good, they make a buffertzone between me and the other races :)
in the game ive been playing now, i thought i got a REALLY bad starting location, only 2 >15 planets INCLUDING earth, and in the lower left corner surrounded by the Yor and the Drengin while me playing goody two-shoes... well only a few turns into the game, maybe a year or two, a new "race" was formed called the Pacifists or something the like, saying they were to free planets of their dictatorships, each and every drengin planet went automatically to these guys, and all except one of the Y
thanks to all the tips ive gotten id like to direct some to you... first build up a really good economy by trading your techs for XX/1000 years or something like it... and then just bribe people out of war :)
