Hi there, dev here. Apparently the last thread with this title was deleted because the OP of that thread was tired of getting messages from it, which is understandable. Since that doesn't bother me, I figured I would give you guys a thread to discuss it in that won't get deleted. This ends my involvement with this thread, it's all yours now, have at it. ;) EDIT: Nifty! Turns out I could undelete the other thread, and then just merge it here. Since I'm now the OP, anyone else (including the former OP)...

My first arcen game completed, at max difficulty no less. I'd love to gush about how my game went, as well as give a general outline for others to try it. I've played blind so I'm not sure how popular this strat is. My biggest issue so far has been managing early aggression.

Whenever I play these strategy games (civ 4, gal civ, stellaris, X series, etc etc) My favorite goal to try and accomplish is to have everyone get along. I think this is the only one that it's actually possible in... In Civ there is always one pesky hyper aggresive guy that gets himself killed or sometimes succeeds in killing someone, In age of empires, they throw waves of forces at you periodically (sam...

When I engaged in a duel with the warlord, time was passing on the overworld map, or well... Stacking up more like. After the duel was won, the game fast forwarded from that point and before I could even react the burlusts had started a war, won it, and wiped out another species, with no time for me to even react. I knew they would start a war, as they did last I played in older versions of the game, and I had planned to intervene, but since the amount of time spent fighting the duel was added to the over...
