Philosophy / Play Style

"Foul Tiggas?" As temporary commander in chief of the Growltigga Federation I suppose it falls upon me to take exception at that statement.

Saxon,
"My playing style is to have Fluffy Bunnies on all the planets in the Galaxy. It is a noble, if unusual goal."
That's cool, send a transport to me when we meet, I'll be happy to assist as long as they breath the same atmosphere.

As for "Up to Something"?
I am always up to something. My main strategy is to get inside an advesarys head.

It is a great sci fi / war storys book including background of the Dorsai.
It is still available on the web. Read the book and apply the theory. It will change your play style.

It also helps to spell the author's name right. It's Gordon R. Dickson.

Mea Culpa

[Master Belisarius]

I play SE4 for fun, of course. But at least in my case, always have more fun if I'm the winner... then, always play for win.
But who want to be the winner of anything, without some kind of challenge? Then, a good SE4 game MUST be challenging, if not never will be interesting to me.

Playing against the AI:
1) I have no mercy.
2) Only sign a treaty, if I'm in a bad situation.
3) Never trade tech with the AI.
4) Never use Warp Openers/Closers.

Playing against humans:
1) Try to keep my word.
2) Most the time, exchange Population and Colonization early.
