The SOWERS are also a good choice for production focus empires, as they let you mostly ignore food.Ī key factor to most traits is to think of what victory your going to go for, and how you are going to do that. The AUTOMATONS take micro to use well, but can easily shave off lots of time on buldings and ships. The SOPHONS are good for science victorys, or simply resarching the best weapons and ships before everyone else. The PILGRIMS should not be used untill you are much better at the game. The AMOEBAS are a jack of all trades, and can let you nab whatever planets you need before anyone else.The HORATIO help if you like heros, but i found they werent as usefull as a more specasilised race. The HISSHO should be your choice if you just want to explode youe enemys. If you want to make ships, but also like to not have your worlds become useless after 60 turns, the UNITED EMPIRE will take you far. If you want to output ships faster then almost anyone else can deal with, go with CRAVERS. Your affinity largely depends on what you are aiming to do. Their approval buffs speed up assimilation. These guys are great for moving from captured system to captured system. The cool thing is, the later you clone, the better the clone is off the hop. mele is high for when I need heavy invasion on multiple fronts. The original is now at level 18, all labour and approval, heavy wit, 20 mele, 8 and 8 O and D. I think I'm at the limit, and all slots are used, but there may be more tech that boosts this, not sure.Ĭ43s4r Drone.v35 is the hero I have cloned all 4 times. Of the 11 slots, 4 have been used for clones. Gives you rough idea of where I am as Im not sure when my hero slots went to 11. Pilgrims and Sophons were out about 30 turns ago. They have 33 of 64 systems, and I hold the remaining 31. I have 11 hero slots, turn 265, getting ready to take on the Hisso. I'm curious though, how much can you clone with Horatio, just once? :D (Love Space Balls btw.) I'll give that a try. Originally posted by Seraph:I think I will smoke, 'cause I got'em. (keep it simple stupid.)Įvery time I say this to myself, things seem to fall into place.Ĭheers. Give them lots of dingly dingly and they won't care if you're a bloodthirsty expansionist fiend.) Population/Optimistic: 2/2, 25 of 55/30left. Horatio Affinity: (Cloninig of a hero gives you that resource boost you need when you want it, where you want it.)įleet/Fast travelers: 2/2, 10 of 65/55left. Sheredyn Appearance: (Fairly close to looking like a Space Ball? I think.) Originally posted by Biskwik:I Made a custom faction, that fits your bill, I lovingly call SPaCE BaLLs.
