I dont belive it, i stuggled so much on this game in past, but tonight i just owned a hugh galaxy 9 aliens, but the odd thing is, i never built ANY combat ships, and not once did anyone decare on me it was crazy, granted i had insane diplomacy and strong economy, early game i bribed the 2 biggest nations to war each other, then bribe my closet neigbour (altarian) to keep them sweet so not to bully me as i had NO combat abilty, before i knew it altarians was the super powerhouse nation, the defeated 2 races to compleate extiction but then it all started to happen.....
during all this my economy just got stronger and stronger, my dipolomacy swell to astounding levels, i was in lead of all technology, i 'could' of built large capital ships, bt i built NOTHING, all i built all game after the first colonisation was lots constructors, 3 military bases and 2 economy bases, and full upgrade all the mining bases (which i litterally bought of the other races)
around this point suddenly my influence swelled at a astounding rate, i literally flooded thw whole galaxy in under hour, and slowly one by one all the races just ceased to exist, and even if they did try fight back at that phase it would bee to late, was consuming 2-3 planets a round through influence alone
The only downside was i didnt get into any battles, i had no ships capable of battles lol
All this was on normal difficulty, hugh galaxy, 9 races, think it time i stepped up a grade heehee
i wonder tho, has anyone else had a 'unusall' experiace like that
