Re: Formulae of Victory
I've finaly realised my mistake. I always wait to the highest wanted level of a tech to be researched before starting producing war ships to defend and to destroy. Once i do, the enemy would always have 2 times more than i do.

Sun-tzu said:
In ancient times, those skilled in warfare make themselves invincible and then wait for the enemy to become vulnerable. Being invincible depends on oneself, but the enemy becoming vulnerable depends on himself. Therefore, those skilled in warfare can make themselves invincible, but cannot necessarily cause the enemy to be vulnerable. Therefore it is said one may know how to win but cannot necessarily do it.

Re: Formulae of Victory
I used to be diseased with a virus called "retrofit craze" or something. Bascially don't wait to build ships until you've got the highest tech. realize you will have old and outdated ships next to your new wonders. Retrofit slowly not all at once.

Re: Formulae of Victory
That brings up another point: don't retrofit the entire fleet at once.  |

"That brings up another point: don't retrofit the entire fleet at once."
If you've got a LOT of resource storage and repair yards.. you can get away with it. Otherwise, pain! 
(especially don't retrofit the entire fleet at once the turn before an enemy attack..)
