For frame of referneceI have a game ongoing at the moment where I can essentially end it in victory any time I want. I have a staggeringly overwhelming advantage in all things that matter. So at this point, I am just messing around with the game.
For whatever reason, I decided that I wanted to eliminate two other Civs, the Terrans, and the Iconians. In short order, their fleets were decimated. However, I did not want to bother building the transports and invading and taking over their planets. I ended up hitting upon a solution.
I offered a peace treaty in exchange for as many of their planets as I could convince them to hand over. Immediately after receiving the planets, I would attack a nearby ship of theirs again, and go back to war.
If you have an overwhelming enough advantage, you can do this pretty much as many times in a row as you like until they end up with perhaps 1 or 2 planets remaining, at which point they will just surrender due to having no chance to recover.
IT is pretty uch exploiting the AI, but beats the hell out of waiting for your transports to cross half of a huge galaxy.
