Not all of us have the time for multiplayer. I would love to give the AI an advantage because I can rule any 1v1v1v1 with 3 hard AI's with relative ease now.

Two more months of this game? I suppose... but Twilight of Arnor comes out soon :)

I believe, if memory serves me correctly, some of these planets to indeed have "rings" around them. I'm 95% positive i've seen this in game.

Yeah, instead of just auto spawning the pirates, just have all of the pirates at the pirate base, all 100 of them or so, attack the human. Problem fixed :)

In a single player game, I'm in awe how you guys are having so much trouble with these siege ships. It does not cost much to place 20 turrets around your planet and upgrade the the planet health. Get your economy going before you start taking these planets so you can upgrade once you take them. I play hard AI, and the only way they EVER take a planet of mine is by combining arms and attacking together with a massive fleet.

Stardock central is your steam your looking for. In my opinion, it outperforms steam as well.

There is a max allegiance based on how far away your worlds are from your home world. I'm almost positive that culture will raise the allegiance of a planet no more then 10%. Thats if I'm remembering correctly.

Expand is a great strategy on one condition. You MUST be able to build up the infrastructure. You expand to fast your economy will be drained like no other. The farther you are from your homework the less taxes your going to collect. I often by mid-late game will change my home world to a farther out planet to negate these effects.

Here is a great reason to why you want to have the pirates attack you! As of right now I've only been playing with 3 normal random AIs so take that into account as well. 1. Find a juicy planet next to a pirate base. 2. Well... colonize it. 3. Upgrade all the planet health as well as tactical spots. 4. Build a couple health restore buildings and then max the rest with defensive guns. Make sure you are placing them at the phase lane entrance. 5. Build a trade port. 6

As of right now, every post is clustered together with no logic to them. Can we get some different sections for the bug reports, strategies, multiplayer, and idea's in some type of sub-forums?

Remember who is publishing this game. Disappointments are to be expected. I expect the full game to come out for another $50 a year after the release date of this half :) I hope I'm wrong.
