Whats the best way to find habitable planets

March 12, 2006 10:06 AM from

I'm having trouble competing with the AI in expanding my empire and finding habitable planets. I'm trying playing on the huge map with 4 alein races and I keep ending up being right next to another race that eats up all the nearby habitable planets before I can even get my empire going. Is there too many races on the map? I don't want to increase the # of habitable planets because I don't want there to be too much micromanagement. Should I start a game on a big map with like only 2 races?

Prioritize researching stellar cartography, and once you have it, zoom in on the minimap so you can actually see the clusters of planets.

That should give you a decent idea of where to start looking.
