Default Re: Multiplayer games

Another option would be to play a "roleplaying" game rather than a competitive one. Rather than trying to win, you just do what your race and culture would do, not necessarily the optimal course of action. The main goal is to make your empire interesting.

The chief problem with multiplayer roleplaying games is that there's usually somebody roleplaying a race that wants to conquer the galaxy, who will probably steamroller the non-aggressive races if they stay "in character".

For most of the races that I've created for my solo games, I wouldn't even try to play them in a competitve multiplayer game.
