Re: prepping for beginning expansion
I dont know why Indep 3 is the default. I guess because it matches AI-easy.
I think that hurts the game. Indep 5 is more human-setting. The setting of 3 is more in favor of the AI than human players. It leads new people to think they arent doing well because the AI swarms into them early in the game. Im continually telling new players to turn indepts up until they learn the game better.
