allright, this time i hope my message will be posted!
this is about winning without any researcher. here is the race
lithovorous, industry +1, spying +1, charisma, feodality, science -1, ground combat -1
the strategy is:
no farmers, no scientists, workers only
build outposts before colonies to get fast marines barracks
be friendly with all races to get some useful RPs, BCs and non-aggression pacts, but no alliance
carry the research with heroes and automated labs.
at the begining, spy on repulsive ones that cannot reach your empire
never stop builing ships and spies
when your fleet is larger, start spying on the weakers. they will not complain too much.
focus the research on improving spying, pop. growth, confederation, income, command points, and devices that the others do not have
the drawbacks are
- really hard if the games starts at pre-warp
- being attacked at the very begining
- the elimination of an empire is bad for research!
i will enjoy some feedback and comments. it will help me improving this strategy
