WINNING THE GAME (CONT.)

• Attempt to capture planets with ground forces. Not only will you gain the planet’s factories, but you also have an opportunity to find technology that you are lacking.
• Maintain a Planetary Reserve at all times to aid in building new colonies and deal with unexpected crises.
• Concentrate on a single opponent. Declaring war on multiple players will dramatically increase the difficulty of winning.
• Trade with your allies. Not only do you get an economic benefit, but your relations improve as well.
• Periodically house clean by raising your security level to maximum. This will serve to eliminate a large number of spies within your empire even if they are hiding.
