after 300 turns i am surrounded by enemies. i only have 4 planets and 2 or 3 members.
I am playing at the default level.
Can someone give me some tips about how to win this game? At the beginning i start building farms foor food because food is fast grow
Extra tips/advice would be apreciated.
thanks.

at least there's one tip to win the game: Load the last savegame and start it with another race, who is dominant...and go on playing "your" game with this race.

you also can cheat: do it the same, take another race, sabotage this race (destroy ships and replicators and special buildings eg in there homesystem), save the game, load the game with the next race and do the same. At least do your race..and enjoy the further game.

To win the game without cheating there's also a tip: wars are not good for growing, try to find many friends and less enemys. Don't try to fight against many enemys if you aren't on a really very big military basis.

I can have a look at your game if you post the savegame here - I'm interested.

well..I'm mostly doing many manual game savings, especially before ship or system battles. So it's no problem for me to go back 5 or 10 rounds.
You always can go back using auto.sav or auto2.sav in program order - look at the time stamp of the files.
