How do you fare in non-conected games ? i find it quite difficult sometimes. AI is much more focused, no more fleets sitting around ally planet half-way accross galaxy. With only few systems available, AI can send waves after waves...

in Last game Iwas foolish enough to open WP to cryslonites at about the same time terrans come aftr me. Two wars were totally unsustainable.

Also, how do you manage anti-fighter escorts in simultaneus turn battles ? It usully becomes so messy...
