[MoonDragn]

I did notice something interesting, the conquered races that I put on my planets were not usually very happy unless you had a large force in the system or made alot of happiness improvers... This is a definate drawback to the strategy.
I had alot of fun with that one game. I then realized I conquered the universe and never even knew there were racial modifiers or points you could spend on your race My people were average in everything with no special skills. I even had a game with hard difficulty and many computer races. The AI is just not smart enough to beat me I guess. I always manage to conquer them too fast.
This Last game I made all of them surrender by warping into their home systems and blowing up their stars. Of course I had time to build 8 dyson spheres first...
