And then you need to chose starport upgrades over better ship classes. In the Engineering tree you need to try and get Hangar Bays as soon as possible. This offsets that waiting time for FTL inhibitors.Ģ) Research wise, You should concentrate where possible on defensive strategy over offensive strategy. they play very similar and are similarly hated by all over factions, of course other than other Machine Empires (Rogue Servitors not included)ġ) You need to find chokepoints with only 2 entrances, and those entrances are opposite one another, in such a way any enemy fleet that enters the system MUST pass over your central Star (for Binary/Trinary systems) which brings them into range of your Bastions. I only play Machine Empire, when i play solo I only play either Driven Assimilator or Determined Exterminator. Then proceed to rampage across the galaxy. Once you have your second capital and is a strongest badass in the neighbourhood, get your administrative capacity under control and start teching up like in tall but with twice the income. Ignore ballistic weapons, there are much more important industrial techs in there, and make your ships full of Blue Lazors and Sentinel point defence to take on stations without losses. To prevent other empires from declaring war on you while you build up your economy, you will need diplomacy and making a Corvette here and there to keep neighbours from perceiving you as a weak target.įor technology you of course will be picking only ship-related techs. Once that is done, start building your fleet. Instead, conquer all nearby primitives and colonize all green planets you find, you will be taking Adaptive for your species to make yellow planets green.Take Expansion tradition for extra pop on new colony and build Alloy Foundries everywhere as first building, keeping mineral income sufficient.

Do not expand everywhere at game start, you will be conquering those systems later anyway. Build second alloy foundry on your capital asap.
