I meant you should simply PLAY against us. I prefer to discuss on the galaxy map. I remember a discussion with someone who never played us before. He wrote me several dozens emails about his superior strategies. Then he had 3 games with us....and was never seen again. Thats the reason I avoid too l...

To be more clear: Your proposed hydros are junk. Almost noone considers them. 2BC maintenance simply hurts - even for sub. There is only one race where I would take them. Thats Demo Sub art hw. But thats just a fun race. Period. Visit kali chat server and show us your sub-hydro strat. I will play l...

I generally target autofac, then Research Lab, then Nuclear Missile and Nuclear Drive. I prefer missiles for my early defense force, to ward off blitz-happy maniacs. (Very useful on monsters too.) Colony Ship's next. After that...it really depends. If I'm creative, biology is my quest, if not, I'm p...

Re: Lithovores: WHY?
OK, I won't mention it, since you already did :) Again, sub is an excellent pick, because it has a large impact on population capacity. But I have to disagree with you: worlds do grow fast even without cloning if you are using housing colonies. If you just let natural growth be your rate of populat...

Re: Lithovores: WHY?
Hi Ramidel, You mention losing 1/11 of your production to food on a high production world. You lost me here, there is no production diverted to food with lithovore as there is for, say, cybernetic. Did I misunderstand? ...hm. I'm still getting used to the patch. Prepatch Lithovore did work like tha...

Lithovores: WHY?
I'm hearing a lot of people on this forum praising Lithovore as such a cool trait. I'm here to ask why everyone thinks that. Hard math: At the very start, and not counting pollution or rich homeworld, a lithovore race gets +1 prod per worker (3-2) for shifting its farmers to workers. That's the equi...

Bah, unitol monkeys. ^_^ I'm a Creative techno by preference, personally (I also prefer Huge galaxies). Yes, this means I don't ship-blitz worth a damn, I'm a late-game rather than early-game player and work on slowing the game however possible. My preference is as follows: -50% Pop -.05 money -10 G...
