I'm playing a game now in small quadrant with max AI's and neutrals on max difficulty and bonus and It's a walkover for me. 3 starting planets per player. Then again, the first thing I built was 2 bases with space yards per planet and proceeded to kick the *** of the first AI I met. Took some time and they actually killed quite a few ships for me and I had to glass 2 of their homeworlds before they surrendered, but now it feels like a walkover with me firmly in first place allied to almost every other AI. Sailed into a Neutrals system with a scouting fleet of 7 destroyers and one light cruisers, kicked it's fleets *** and demanded their surrender. They did.
First time I met them.
Getting ready to repeat the process to another neutral. Think I'll try this setup again but without neutrals.
