I had a plan, see?

Best laid plans of mice and men

It called for the fastest colonizers in the galaxy, and then I was going to eat all their frontier worlds. But building fleets from the scattered shipyards was too slow. And assembling one fleet from such far away places took forever. "Next time," The haggard old commander slurred to the bartender, "I'm gonna have me a cluster of shipyards. They'll assemble a fleet to be reckoned wif!"

Poor Torians. I'm kinda partial to them because they always have good tech and are easy to ally with so tech trading is cheaper, making me able to trade for all their tech, break the alliance, then break them. I love the little guys. It's like they keep the planets warm for me whilst I get strong enough to muscle them out.

PML - I love what you did on the map - I got close to doing that, but then the Drengin came along and snatched victory because the lil gimp Thallans surrendered to them....

I like your strategy. I always prefer to have some big, heavy firepower fleets slowly moving towards the border worlds an inwards like an unstoppable ood.

My own worlds are heavily fortified by starbase networks, and I know all of their territory. As the main attack commences, I have some fast fleets come in and take the key worlds (all capitals, wonders, goods, and anything +pq25), which normally takes about 5 turns if I've set up alright. After that, they're on their knees, and it's just mopping up. Problem is doing the build up so they don't notice, and then maintaining an army when all the other races in the galaxy eventually gun for me.

Hey, just finished a large game with a view to keeping my biggest shipyards in a group. It worked out excellent; ships could fleet up at a rally point near the edge of the group, and then head out to the front lines.

In the end, the Arceans asked for peace, I said I'll trade it for their last three worlds, and they said no way. Until about five turns later, they finally surrendered and handed 'em over anyway. Sensible folks.
