If you're looking for a harder game, try Proportinos. I forget all of the circumstances now, but my first game I was getting my butt kicked by the third or fourth turn. I encountered an alien race, and they immediately turned hostile and was sending out fleets of ships while I was still trying to explore just the next system. I quit that game, but it was a learning experience.

There are a few ways to make the game harder and that is not not take advantage of the AI.
Don't
Trade with it
Create Treatys higher than Trade and Reasearch
There are a few others but I have not played in a long time.

Do Play in Simultaneous mode. That is much harder.

The first game I played with the TDM modpack, I lost to a tactic that I don't remember ever seeing in the original game. Then I said, "Now wait a minute here," and I never fell for that ploy again. I think that versatility is the key to winning in any game setting.

I don't speak Spanish either; I just thought the typo looked like a Spanish word.

Take any english word and put an O or an A on it and you are speaking spanish.

Well, not exactly. But sometimes that's all the difference there is.


Disclaimer: This post was not meant to offend any spanish speaking people. I have high respect for the spanish community and their language. In fact, they work harder then us americans do.
