Hi all,
I'm new here, just got the game a few weeks ago, played a few games, won only one so far.
I'm at turn 143, playing Yor (which I love), playing on large/normal, have nine colonies, 1/3 of the planets are production focused, 1/3 research, and 1/3 money, all finished developing, and now cranking out ships (large). The game says I'm first in population, first in economy, soon to be first in military, first in tech.
I have been developing all my worlds, and now they are done, i'm ready to bang out invasion fleets, and take planets. Nobody can stop me. It's obvious I have won, before taking one world. With the Yor, I can make invasion troops quickly and easily, and fill up transport ships easily.
Do you continue playing, when it's obvious you have won? It just feels like I will be dragging out the inevitable. I see no challenge left. I'm thinking of starting another game, and making it more challenging, like maybe declaring war on everyone, to get more fighting. I don't know. I'm new at this.
I read one of the mod threads, and sounds interesting, but i'm still learning vanilla, and will stick with it for a while, to learn it better.
I appreciate any suggestions..... thanks!
