One of you guys has got of been good at this game (it seems like an RPGCodex sorta thing), could someone give me pointers in it?
I've read the manual over pretty well and i've got a pretty strong grasp on the game, not to mention i've played and done well at 4X games before too, but no matter what, I get my ass blasted in MOO2.
Even on Huge galaxy, Tutor difficulty, using Pslions and only against 1 other race, I get whooped. They have almost the whole galaxy while I have 3 star systems and 2 ships in orbit. What exactly do I need to do to move out and conquer? I always try to make my colonies stable and stuff, so it's tricky to just hop out somewhere, what should I do about colonizing?
Also, I think I might 'turtleshell' too much, on every planet I have, I build all upgrades and everything, is that bad? I heard I should just devote planets to specific jobs, but i'm not all sure how to go about that.
I tried looking around the Atari board about beginner help but all I saw was some barely understandable guy ranting and raving with tons of netspeak and blaring out powergame stuff I didnt understand too well.
halp smart peepal.
