When i start a new game and add 16 nations on a huge map, it seems some nations start up way too powerfull. Ones I meet them for the first time they already have 12 planets, 30 more tech, ships with 250hp. They start war with me after a few turns after meeting them.
I at this point only have two or three planes, and at most small ship hulls.
Is this a bug in the game or are some nations just overpowered?
Please help. Im really not enjoying the game right now.
