Re: managing empires
I play 7-8 games at a time. 4 hours a turn is a little excessive. Has your friend seen a psychiatrist? Winning isn't everything.
Experiencing the game is worth more to me. In one game, I only have a colony ship left, no planets. I merely continue playing because it is cloaked and I want to explore the rest of the universe, to see what possibilities could have been. If I get lucky, I will colonize a planet. More than likely, I will be detected and eliminated. But life goes on.
I spend as little time as possible in each game. Oh, I have had the rare game where an hour needed to be invested in a turn, but it is usually 10-15 minutes and I am on to other things.
