WOW! Have you not met other races? In my games, I would be intelled to death with only 20k of counter intel.

That is impressive, if you have been going on for 2000 turns i don't see why the AI hasn't kiled you or something or you killed htem, very peaceful if you know what i mean. ANyway, you will get very good soon. More precisly, will expand very fast.

Really important note: Don't get obsessed with upgrades, i would never ever fight a war becuase i was always upgrading to newest design (more level of weapons, engines, ecm, cmbt senseor) just accept the fact that some ships will be slightly out dated, but never!!!!! build obselete desgins cause your waiting for something, just build the newest design and add the components to a new design and call it somthing 2 or someother notation. Goodluck, if you wouldn't mind sending me the turn files foryour game (chocolatefro@angelfire.com) i would love to see how it is going.

I would imagine its not too different from early parts of the game. I am in contact with about 6 other races right now, but I am in a brotherhood treaty with all of them except 1, and that 1 race is at war with me. I guess I just got off to a slow start because that race declared war with me very close to the beginning of the game and I had to take a defensive stance and do most of my research on ship upgrades for quite some time. After I finally drove them out of my sectors, I waited a long time doing more research and expanding into sectors that were not taken yet. It has probably Lasted this long because this is the first game I have played in Space Empires and I usually like to go the scientific route for much of the game until the end when my race is powerful enough to take over the galaxy. I was just brought into war much sooner than I planned. Thanks for all the help everyone.
