Hi everyone and welcome to the time machine that brings you pure nostalgia. I’m playing this atmospheric masterpiece since 1998 every now and then, but surely on a 2 year interval basis. So i have thousands of hours of experience and deep understanding of ingame mechanics. I don't care about speedrunners. This is a highscore game, therefore the true achievement is to get the highest score, not the fastest time. It took me over 10 days to get a score of 50k in 443 Turns. Wanna challenge me? I can send you the savegame i achieved it on. I never played this game in english, so i dont know the exact translations of technologies and i‘m too lazy to look it up, but you’ll know what i mean. The Screenshots are taken from two Gameplays (Fremen/Brown 39k and Borg/White 50k). Please note that this Guide does not contain Genozide but rather a peaceful takeover with minimum loss of others lives. You could be faster if playing super agressive, but that's not my playstyle. Let's get started! The keys to success are: - get Antaran Technology fast to conquer Orion - have lots of captured colonists and a high population - Score Multiplier of 3.4 Start New Game: -Impossible -Max Size -Max Players -Max Technology level -Mineral Rich Galaxy -Random Events -Antarans Attack -Tactical Combat Choose Custom Race, choose Silicoids picture. Choose negative Picks on -Ship Attack -Ship Defense -Ground Attack -Spying -Poor Home World Explanation: You have to play on impossible with -10 picks in addition to the 4 picks you get from Evolution Mutation to get a score multiplier of 3.4. Why Silicoids picture? To make sure you don’t have them in your game as they are always repulsive. My recommendation to save yourself a hard time: Don't ever play a game with a race that is repulsive! You cannot interact with them and it's impossible to have control over their actions, especially in the early game. Since they tend to war with almost everyone because of their absence of diplomacy, they can already be wiped out before you made contact with them (or with the race they are at war with). Next mandatory step: Make sure you have a race in your game with double population Perk (Subterranean) like Sakkra or Darlocks. If Darlocks or Sakkra have Subterranean Perk is RNG and if they do, its usually in combination with being repulsive, so you need to be lucky. To check that, save the game right after start and Cheat with "Alt"+"iseeall", then go to race statistics in the Info section. Once you’ve cheated, you can’t get a high score, so reload if you have good rng or start a new game if bad rng. In my playthroughs Sakkra were the one with Subterranean Perk so i will mention Sakkra in the future instead of Subterranean. Races that can be Repulsive: Sakkra, Darlocks, Trilarians, Silicioids (always) Races that can be Subterranean: Sakkra, Darlocks, Silicoids It is also essential to have Psilons in your game, as they are the only race to have Creativity Perk and therefore research everything, so you don't miss any technology and get full points for science. A nice bonus in addition is a race that has +2 Perk on Industry, usually Meklars or Klackons. Captured Colonists keep their Race Perks! Benefit from that. You want to breed and clone those races preferably over your own! Make sure you start at a border / corner, not in the middle of the map. You cannot handle all that diplomacy from the start if you have to face 4 or 5 races at the same time. You have only 2 or 3 turns until the diplomacy mood goes down and then it's too late for making a contract. Then you need to either boost the mood up with technology gifts or risk a war later when they start demanding things from you and you refuse. RNG: Size and amount of Planets in your home System, Number of Systems that have at least one colonizable Planet in it, Total number of Planets, Enemy Races, Race Statistics, starting point on galaxy map To get a minimum playable game you need ~5 restarts, To get acceptable RNG (subterranean and no repulsive race) you need ~30 restarts. For good RNG (subterranean, no repulsive race, at least 110 planets, at least 3 systems with 5 planets, home world in the corner, at least 3 planets in home system with medium size minimum, at least 10 planets huge and ultra rich, Orion system has at least 4 planets/asteroids/gas giants) ~50 Restarts. Grow your population ASAP. Build colony ships. Expand. Doesn't matter if the planet is worth colonizing it. Just do it. Get Science and Trade Treaties ASAP. Use diplomacy every turn. If someone doesn't want a treaty with you (yet), keep his mood up with technology gifts that yourself will benefit from later: Population growth technology (Biosphere, Clone Center, Terraforming) are good gifts. Spies are useless, you literally have 0% in spying at this point. But build some spies to prevent others from stealing Technology from you. If it's inevitable and someone steals a technology from you, load autosave and trade it or gift it! Be diplomatic at all costs. Beg others to end war with each other. The enemy rarely invades Planets but bombards them until no one is left. You don't want to lose potential points so prevent that! Essential Technologies to research or acquire: -Board Ferries -All population extension/food producing -All industry boost/pollution reduction (deep core waste dump replaces all others so you can skip the first two) -Gravitation Generator -All moral boost related buildings and technology This makes sure you have the highest industry output (fast building times). Build 6-7 Battleships with 50% Extra Space, 3xArmor,3x Structural Points and equip them with 2x5 Board Ferries. Research Power until Anti Matter Engine. Research Physics until Plasma Rifle. Research Construction until Titan Ship. Research Chemistry until Thorium Fuel Tank. Research Power until Interphase Engine Research Physics until Stargate (you need to rely on other races to get Star Converter anyhow...) Research Construction until Death Star. Take Deep Core Waste Dump over Deep Core Mining. Ignore all other Weapon related research! Check Details in Chapter "Research Tree" Get further Biology and Sociology technologies from other players. Get better Armor, Engine and Fuel Tank from other players, refit your ships as soon as you have better technology. Exchange or demand the technologies needed from diplomatic races first like Alkari, Humans or Psilons, if they decline or declare war, reload. Try again every turn. The stronger you get and the older the technology gets the liklier they give it to you. Never give away Plasma Rifle or Thorium Fuel Tank! Force Fields and Computers are not essential Research Trees and can be ignored for now! The essential turning point and main goal in this game is: You want the Antarans to attack you to capture one of their ships, usually a Marauder, then scrap it to get their technologies. This will need a lot of patience and luck (yes, if the Antarans will attack you, then you're lucky!) as Antarans often attack only the strongest Player (which is not you) and they also have a 50% chance on self-destruct when being captured (an already captured ship can be destroyed by the self-destruct of another ship!). Since you're colonizing every Planet, they might Attack weak ones that get entirely destroyed. That's OK. It's called pawn sacrifice. Fun Fact: If you have an Outpost Ship sent to an Asteroid Belt/Gas Giant, Antarans might even Attack this one but since there is no Picture for that in Combat screen, the Picture of a newly constructed Giant infertile Planet is used instead showing 0 Population. Please note that everything in your enemies and your turn is scripted! If you make the same moves in combat, the outcome of the fight is always the same. If you reload one turn back or load your autosave, you need to change the order of attack or the number of ships to have a different outcome. Save at the end of every turn and make Backup copies of your sa
