Re: Anyone tried The Barbarian Horde strategy?
I've been forced to use this on a small scale in a solo game vs. an AI race. I was roleplaying my peaceful scientists, who hadn't researched beyond Ship Construction 2 or any weapon technologies when the Xi-Chung blew up an unarmed scout and declared war. I spent a couple decades losing two frigates for each of their destroyers that I killed or crippled, then 2-3 destroyers per light cruiser. By the time I got LCs I had a slight tech edge overall, so things got more balanced, but it took a couple more decades before I could take the war to their territory.

human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
