Thanks for the information. For what it is worth, it is TDM mod. And I just had my head handed to me at turn 117. Do I stink or what!?

Not at all. It is possible to get into a no-win position against modded AIs with bonuses if you are unlucky with galaxy setup.

Thanks for the confidence I suspect though that with this being my third game it is simply a case of stinking.

Would starting with no warp points, or not all connected warp points be a good thing?

I like to use the "not all connected" setting, and then keep regenerating maps until I get one that is naturally connected.

Ahh-hmm. I am a bit lost here. What is "naturally connected" ?

---
I dislike "not connected" for solo play - too much burden to AI. AIC mod may process it better, but still...

Naturally connected means you keep hitting the button until all the warp points are connected. It generates a map that a lot of times looks better than the forced "all warp points connected" map.
