I also like to keep a small flotilla of transports filled and stacked away in a corner. If those people thought they were unhappy on their overpopulated planet, imagine imagine how much they must enjoy living on a ship packed with billions of people doing nothing out in the middle of nowhere!

This is how things work in real life too. Sell a lot of 10 used games on eBay and you'll get 50 bucks. Sell them each separately and you might get $10 apiece.
Psyweapons and free starbase upgrades, hello! Who can resist?
That option was you you to surrender to them. Wouldn't it be a barrel of laughs if you could follow a game after doing that? Surrender a singificant empire to a minor race and see where they go with it and if they can win.

Would you say that a game can potentially be easier for the human player when all his alien opponents are equally intelligent? As I try to upgrade my skills and difficulty, I've found that having one or two alien empires of normal intelligence and the rest of sub-normal always results in a difficult duel between myself and (one of) the normal(s) at the end. Would having an all normal game be easier for me in the long run (though possibly harder at the beginning)? Thanks
I've seen the Draginol twice (defeated by them both times in the early stages of the game) and the Precursors once (managed to conquer them because I had Dreadnaughts at the time and they sprung up right in the center of my influence). Negligence causes their appearance, and I'm grossly negligent. :)
