New to the game and Overwhelmed. Any hints?

Oleg..Took your advice & that of others here & started a new game w/ regular resources & moderate AI bonus & the difference is striking. You are really under the gun if you know that eventually your opponents will be coming at you with twice the weight & what's worse, twice the tech, if you sit still for too long.

Think that I will scale back to low ( x2 ) bonus though. X3 just shoves your game a long to the point, where your choices are limited & you are forced to be real agressive.

Really looking forward to the TDM mod, when I get to it.

Here is a mid to late game hint. Especially useful before going to war. Start building ships in your ship yards. When they are only one turn from completion click the queue on hold button. This will stop the yard from using recourses but you will be one turn away from a finished ship if you need it. Great for replacing battle losses.
