As someone whos done a challange run where you have to stick to one reserch path the entire campaign iv learned things heres a run down on it

Xizor path:rush to teir 3 ASAP spam space casinos everywhere while connecting your bases as quickly as possible in the north then when the hut quest begins you should have taken the 2 planets that you need to take already to finish the quest (urbrikka,World owned by pirates near the maw cant remember the name XD its the pike syndicate world) then your just a few worlds away from connecting with bottom right area of the galaxy by this point your getting RICH AF so just spam your crappy ships till u win XD

Tyber Zann path : YOU ARE ♥♥♥♥♥ FOR INCOME you will NEEEED planet related discounts to be able to afford ANYTHING GOOD plus rushing t3 research you need to connect your Northern planets more than anything to combine your fleets and discounted production worlds (mandalore, for your capital ship production and there expensive so only produce on mandalore. Lianna for your bomber production, Also correct me if on which planet but its near ord mantell top left ish level 1 shipyard gives you 20% DISCOUNT ON ALL FIGHTERS use this to make your good madalore strike fighter production and when ever you can get it go get Redili or Sluis van forgive my spelling for the discount on the last of your main line ships do not waste money on anything that is not discounted in this pay pig of a path XD... i like this ships tho once your sorted and have an organised awsome mandalorian fleet go to town murdering everything with your big boi ships just make sure to keep a few screeners in there to fight fighters n bombers

IG 88- I wish i could rebuild the CIS path. you are once again ♥♥♥♥♥♥ for income but not as bad still go for discount production worlds but if your in a jam you can live with the full price for some ships(nimbam mimbam nim ♥♥♥ i cant remember but its in hutt space so im sure you can find it discounts a whole bunch of stuff including your big donut ships and alot of the starting 0 research fighters. Geonosis Cos Duh where else you gonna rebuild the CIS thats where your IG 88 research is going its well defended and theres lots of build space on the ground. Rothana right near geonosis for discounts on your carrier ships and sluis van or rendili for your discounts on your long torpedo spaming bois

The hutts: Well make sure to own both the worlds you need to complete the hutts questline around turn 40 urbrikka and the other one held by pirates near the maw cant remember the name ); then get to researching ASAP before that do what ever you want other than making sure you own those 2 worlds XD kashyykk is on the way why not enslave the wookies plus you need it for a hero in the hutt path anyway Discount world is Nal hutta itself for a lot of your big boi ships a world just south of mandalore gives bonus health to some of your units i guess :/ IT currently is the only path i having done a challenge run on where i only use one path but obviously spam arenas where ever your allowed to asap for income and honestly past that why worry when you can spam slaver ships and make an army of a 100 squads slaves and throw them at a tank till it squishes them all or it dies either way you have lost nothing XD Will probably add to this once iv done the run and seen what works

Playing normally and not like a mong: Start with Xizor path t3 rushed to spam casinos then when your sitting on a fat stack of creds each turn pick one of the 2 power house paths to spend all your credits on and watch as your favourite ships of the prequels or before destroy the empire and rebellion but hey i like the challenge of having to rely on 1 path

ON EVERY PATH NO MATTER WHAT SPAM YOUR CANTINAS FOR INCOME FIRST THEN 1 OUTPOST BARRACKS THANG THEN BUILD WHAT EVER ELSE YOU WANT I MEAN IT BOIS EVERY WORLD NEEDS 2 CANTINAS OR YOUR GONNA BE POOR ESPECIALLY ON THE EXPENSIVE PATHS YOU CAN OWN 80 PERCENT OF THE GALAXY ON THE POOR PATHS AND HAVE AN INCOME OF LIKE 25K ITS BAD AND YOU ONLY NEED A BLACK SUN HEADQUATERS THANG IN LIKE EACH CORNER OF THE GALAXY DONT MAKE MANY OF THEM.....AAAAAAAAAAAND THE WORLD JUST RIGHT OF MANDALORE GIVES A DISCOUNT ON ALL HEROS SO BUILD ONE THERE TO MAKE ALL YOUR COMMANDERS N LEADERS

P.S i know my spelling is probably HORRID im a poor uneducated Australian that only knows how to ride kangaroos and punch crocodiles i dun have that sOfIsTiCaTeD lEaRnInG pLaCeS
