[God Emperor]

Havent seen this one mentioned before but am interested to know whether it is possible in the full game (waiting for my copy).

In my current game (small map), I havent founmd any planets larger than 10 facilities for me and am surrounded by five other players. I took out the Phong player on turn 33 (using transports equipped with satellites - he he he). Thought I would try and relocate his people to all my colonies which had his atmosphere (carbon dioxide)and move my people elsewhere.
All of my crappy colonies which had only 2, 3 or 4 space suddenly grew to 10,15 or 20. Six planets later, I had gained room for 80 research centres and will now be able to make a bid for no1 position (currently held by the Jraenar who were blessed by having dozens of large compatible planets).
Conquering another race has even more benefits than I thought.
Newbies, take note!!!
God I love this game! Cant wait for my full copy!!
