Welcome to the club, trooper. I put my foot in it about every other post. LOL

One more point though. High happiness can be a godsend. Helps a lot to get your people out of the riot zone quickly during a lull in hostilities, allowing you to attack again before your opponent is ready.

Farming becomes more critical for races with Organic Manipulation.

Refining becomes more key in some mods (particularly, I've found, in P&N 3.1b).

Intelligence, cunning, combat skills, maintenance : have bo be set to the maximum.

50% Cunning is usually sufficient for a race that doesn't plan to go on the offense in terms of covert operations. Unless a 150%-Cunning race decides to go pure offense, neglecting their own defense, focusses solely on you, AND has more Intel facilities than you ... you'll be fine.

Mods do not alter the problems in the unmodded game.

That depends on what you consider a problem.

If someone thinks that colonies develope too fast then they can play Proportions, or if someone doesn't like the easy resupply in the stock game they can play P&N.

Back to the topic , in a multiplayer PBW game you'll encounter a plethora of strategies and just as many counter-strategies. IMO as long as you have fun and walk away having learned something new you'll improve as a player everytime.

Yes, but playing that mod does not alter the unmodded game any. The unmodded game is still the same. Most PBW games use the unmodded game.
