I dont spend as much time on these forums as I should. I dont gets lots of free time, and when I do I try to spend it playing the game. But I am having issues moving from Normal to Gifted. On Normal I am an unstoppable snowball rolling down hill. On Gifted I end up dead last in power and struggling to survive. So I set out looking for gameplay tips, advice, and strategies. My question is, do we have a place for this? On these forums or elsewhere? If so, can someone direct me to them? If not, does anyone else have an interest in creating such a place?
I play two factions mainly, the Humans and the Yor. My custom civs are generally variations of the Yor. I tend to spam factories on my home world, build colony ships, and send them out with .5 pop. This works well for grabbing lots of planets, but as the Yor those .5 pop planets are hard to get up and running, and as humans I feel like the factory spam prevents having a high population home world. I also would love to know what other people thing about tech progression, build priority, resource use, etc.
Thanks in advance.
