For me, that was where Master of Orion came in (again, the first one – for some reason the later ones were never as good IMHO). And while you can hit save on a game of Civ 5 and come back to it later, we’ve all heard the Bataan death march drum beat of capturing one more city, building one more military unit, researching one more technology, completing construction of that wonder… and, crap, the sun has come up. But there are times, and I’m sure the 4X gamers among you will agree, when you don’t have twenty hours in one big chunk to devote to conquering the world, or you have to actually be coherent the next day and can’t game until the dawn’s early light. I spent more hours playing Civilization (the first one, you damned kids, now get off my lawn!) back in graduate school than mankind has collectively devoted to trying to cure cancer. I dedicated my PhD thesis to him, my wife and I have named our two daughters Sid and Meier (for which they never will forgive me), and I have a tattoo of his name on a spot on my body none of you will ever get to see (though we’re thinking of having a contest at the venerable GO Network, so that could change for a few lucky among you). Let me start off by saying I’m a huge fan of Sid Meier. The Bad: And does a really crappy job of it! On first turn, you will be able to get into great position to take first shot on enemy.The Good: Sid Meier does Master of Orion! Jump Start - emphasize engines and cannons so that your ships can move further on first turn. Cloaking - put lots of stealth modules and get stealth tech levels. Torpedo booster and/or stealth torpedo - put lots of torpedoes. Converging Light - put lots of lasers on your ship and get laser techs. Always try to synergize your ship with your wonders and your techs. Move your ship in several steps if necessary. Adjust your movement to avoid a worm hole if you do not want your ship to enter the wormhole. Be careful that your red movement line does not go through a hex with a worm hole because you ship will enter worm hole and pop out somewhere instead of moving to the final position that you wanted. Only use this one if you get a kill shot and the enemy cannot one shot kill you.

Good if you are not quite in a good firing position but close to one and good cover is nearby.ģ) move your full movement then shoot. Good if you are already in a good position for a great shot and good cover is close.Ģ) move a little, shoot, then use remaining movement to find cover. Never move your ship unless it is able to get a good shot off, preferable a kill shot.ġ) shoot first then move to cover. Often the AI will target your fighters instead of your capital ship, thus wasting a shot, giving you a chance to kill the enemy on the next turn. That way you increase the odds that no matter what direction an enemy ship goes in, it will get caught by a torpedo. Put 1 torpedo on each ship so that you can launch multiple torpedoes and have them spread out. Aim torpedoes to where you think the enemy ship will be at the end of its turn not where it is currently. Later in the game, it does not matter as much because you will be flush with energy and your ships will be pretty strong regardless so it is fine to add modules to your ship in the strategic layer. This way, you can customize your ships to the specifics of the mission. In the early game, always wait until you are in the bridge screen before adding modules to your ships. So add a warp nexus before you move your ships and before you add modules.

Add warp nexuses to your planets before you do anything else. If no energy missions are available, go for a mission with a free tech since a free tech is really strong in the early game when you don't make a lot of science per turn. In the early game, energy is hard to get so any extra energy will really get help you beef up your ships.

when you first start a new game, on the first couple turns, try to go for missions that give you energy.
