I would rather drink warm beer then beer with ice. I do like a frosty mug however.

Greetings Gentlemen,
Just bought the game today, but I couldn't resist signing up for the Maple Leaf the second I saw it.
Chalk up one more Canuck. Hope I will be able to contribute. Any advice on best settings all around to play in order to maximize point contributions to our Empire?
Sincerely,
RTDouglas

The most important advice: enjoy the game and don't worry about points. Some have been burned trying to get lots of points fastly and don't play Galciv anymore.

I am sure that you know that the empire thread for your empire is the Canadian Star Federation. This thread was more of a recruitment thread for that empire (I think) Damoose, one of the most active in the CSF will set me straight if I am wrong.
BTW, there are Canadians in other empires as well, so if you find an empire that may be more to your liking, look them over. It is no problem to switch empires. We are all friends (well, sort of  )

Well, there is a "common" setting for people that play the metaverse: Use a setting that allow to score the cap limit of 60K with a minimum amount of turns played (game must end after january 2190 to avoid a 50% penalty)
With base Galciv, it is maso gigantic military win.
With AP, you can achiev 60K with alliance win on smaller maps, or with a smaller difficulty.

Well, try first some easy setting, since you need to learn the game mechanisms. The size of the galaxy (and the number of usable planets) is important on gameplay and the way to handle AI.
