I'm kinda that way with the TS alpha strike approach. I could end my games earlier, but I like to pick up some of the late game wonders and trade goods. Just makes me feel better.

I am allied with all minors but 2 out of 5 or 6 in the game. I have 2-3 SB in each sector so far. I will do the 9 per sector as you explained before.
A learning experience this game was without a doubt. I should have completed this game like 4 days ago.  Sorry I am taking so long to get my next game in. Heck I am not doing work on my website I am playing Galciv.

You can culture bomb the AI in their sector as long as they are you allies. Otherwise they will demand it from you. The best way to pull that off is to colonize a crappy planet in an enemy sector, and then build 2-3 maxed culture bombs. That tends to flip them well.

I am not going any place Captain (Admiral? ) I am burnt out on this game. I am not burnt out on Galciv I doubt that will happen anytime soon. Galciv and Space Empires IV I am horribly addicted to. I am not getting things done at my website because of Galciv. 
I would be having more fun if I did not make the stupid mistake of being allied with the Torians and a few other dumb mistakes.

Normally I would agree with you making mistakes is how we learn. My point is I did not think about the term "Military Conquest". It does not mean take out everyone but ally with one race, it means kill all races no exceptions. I realized this afterwards no foresite.
Good job.. You are a great player.. You have given me some good advice.. I hope to get my scores to at least 30,000-50,000 a game in a few more weeks.
Normally I would submit at least one game a week. This surprise game is taking me twice as long to complete. I am making progress. Littlewotts gave me advice to colonize some 12-14 planets in the Torians circle of influence. It seems to have increased my influence slightly. I have on average about 4 SB's per sector. They only have about 8 sectors in the NE corner.

I generally buy the SBs from the AI that are mining influence resources as well. On top of that, I try to grab every influence boosting wonder/TG I can. I usually get Galactic Exibition, Restaurant of Eternity, Propaganda Machine, Historical Preserve, Hyper Distribution Center, and Pain Amplifiers. That really helps.

Thanks for the offer J.T., but I run the Guardians now. The reasons you mentioned are the same resons why my peers choose me for the job. I know I'm a far cry from the leader Theoden was, but I do my best. As for the losses, I'm a medal junkie so I submitted some games difficuly levels far beyond what I was capapble of back then to get it.

Desert Fox, if you would like some tips on Small/Medium maps with MASO take a look at the Strategy forum. I have posted my strategies. I have set them up as seperate they are similar. The medium map strategy is more detailed because I learned more.

I have thought about submitting losses to the metaverse but it would not feel right. I would like to get that nice purple heart of cowardice ... I mean wounded in action . I am just not sure what it would do to my metaverse scoring. Maybe I should ask Peace.

Screws it up.

We could use my profile as an example: my score as it is and with out the losses.

From what i've told you so far you should get great scores.. so long as you playmilitary wins .. on a map of atleast huge size and the AI's set to the hardest that you can handle.. Keep increasing the AI's levels every time you have a win.. then you'll soon be playing maso level like me
