Well i tried this playing level godlike and it was fun.. i managed to get 22 colonies and monitored my ranking ..and that of other races the economical / militair ranking strength.
How far i must go with the colonisation ? ..what type of warships will be used then by other races against me?( i know the answer now ..i think )
I was too late with the turning point to go to militair building..timing is crucial
The two enemies were attacking my shipyards and passing colonyships and they use capital ships(large) for YOR and capital ships (medium) by DENGIS
I managed to build one cruiser on my homeworld, but it get immidiately attacked ... was i be capable to at least build 3 cruiser than probably i could resist and build out the cruiser fleet..
I do a play for the second time... and now more focussed about the right timing when i start researching the cruiser ship..don't know the minimum colonies needed for this ?
Research speed must be fast.
note: i am not modest now ...
