Re: Best EMP Set Up.

'God-Like' Research is a must in all my games, I love to research, research, research. second to that, Maintenance, makes the resources Last alot longer.

But, don't take this 'preference' as a winning strategy, I have yet to win a game. (even against the AI)

turtle up with mines, get all three colony techs, planet improvement techs, then attack the rest of the universe while you build your first sphereworld. On a large map.

LOL, I have logged quite a few hours, I'm just not 'militarily' inclined. I believe the galaxy is big enough for several races. Unfortunately the 'Other' Races disagree with this point of view.

"Turtle up" is an interesting term for that. Just how many systems will you "turtle up" in? It seems to me if you're not expanding and building more research facilities and mining colonies to support a competitive military, coming out of your shell will be painful.

Re: Best EMP Set Up.

Slow expansion is part of the turtle. You should start with as much area as you can quickly cover with mines.

Of course, this won't work very well against humans who'll research and effectively use minesweepers.
