Probably a side effect of coming short of unity. Actually it was too much for a tall play where you don't plan to claim many systems and still spam edicts all day long. Sometimes the society branch backfired at me and I was even farther away.

Couldn't complete the objective and was not really satisfying to play. So now I try a different approach, keeping in mind my limited DLC options. The beginning has been daunting: found that I was surrounded by 3 FE, one having two ring worlds systems (yup you'll become my baby next time, for sure. My area was short of decent planets to claim. So all things considered, it's an average to bad start. I'm the light blue small thing on the very east side of the map and all of the small patches on my west and north-west side are the FE (the technologist FE is red south of my redish neighbours - easy to read my♥♥♥♥♥)Īlso, after a while, it turned out that no AI was friendly with me. So yeah no diplomacy nor research agreement at all. But hey who I am going to get an agreement with when I plan to be the leader tech-wise? However, the amazing pop growth made the difference barely 20 after the beginning of the game. I then had fully colonized 5 planets with an average size of 16. Precusor world discovered some decades later but it did not change things much at this point. So then, this will not be an amazing game I thought.
