Re: Racial Tech Advantages
I play with Temporal, Psychic, Religious, and Crystal.
Temporal because of the fast construction, plus the Vacation facility has a happiness modifier of 6. The urban and fate shrine only give 3. I don't think the temporal weapons and such are all that great, except for the seeker parasite.
Psychic for the Allegiance Subverter. The psy scanner facility is nice too.
Religous because the shrines and talisman rock. =)
It's a toss up between organic and crystal, I'm playing with organic in my current game, but I like crystal more. I like the facility that cuts your maint costs down.
Most 4x games come down to economy. If I can get a bigger economy than you I will probably win. I go in for all the production and construction speed bonuses that I can.
To get all 4 of the traits I cut my strength to -50% and my politics to -50%.
With my ability to wipe a planet clean with my normal ships I don't need troops. I can always subvert one of thier colony ships to get access to thier population.
And with the computer ALWAYS turning on you when you get a certain % bigger than them I hardly ever go in for treaties so I could care less about the trade penalty.
