Terror Stars

MY FIRST POST!

Anyway...just got the game. I started on the tiny maps with the aliens being fools and pure good to get warmed up. I recommend that to new players, and check out the tech tree!

The terror star kicks A$$, obviously. I built 2 in the game, and sweeped the map. HOWEVER, I'm not sure I recommend it for huge or gigantic maps. You'll earn many enemies and they will converge on you before you have the chance to move the big metal ball across the screen.

If you're planets are all close together (not much movement) and you're an evil war monger anyway...it may not matter. For those that are diplomatic and seek this as a way to influence...stick to social projects.

In a gigantic map...the terror star made everyone hate me. Trade routes got cut off, planets got invaded, and the ships just kept on coming.

Terror star...small maps only for me, or as a grand finally on big maps.

I've built nearly 200 TS's on a gigantic map, and never used them :notsure: . They can be effective culture bombers to get planets to defect to your empire.

As a good sneaky tactic, build all the constructors you need, move them next to your enemie's star systems, (make sure you have enough $) and build all of your TS's in one turn and eliminate their planets :) .

Welcome to the fourm, hope you enjoy the game!

I am such a newbie when it comes to Terror Stars. I finally built my first (and so far, only) Terror Star in my last game.

Bad news is I built it deep in my own territory, completely unaware of its very sloooowww movement. :sniff!:

Good news is it popped up just in time to obliterate a nearby rebellious system turned Independent League. LOL

I'm still learning....
