No matter how many times I try it seams almost impossibe, or at least crazy to win a huge map with the Yor, Drengin and Korath guys in it at "Tough" difficulty level. The problem is that after some time everybody just takes a beat up from these guys.

I had a game where I was close to the Altarians, Arceans, Iconians and Terrans. All the good guys. The problem is that they all tend to neglect their fleets (except probably the Terrans) and sooner or later they will be destroyed by the evil clan (and I mean really BAD).

Its obscene, I witnessed hordes of fleets comming from all three sides at once (and they keep comming). I don't see how is possible to win on this scenario. They tend to have huge influence, so you cannot beat them using that. Diplomacy does not really matter because they are all natural warmongers.

"Build-more-ships-than-they" strategy is really not possible since you get overwhelmed by all three.

I don't like to "fine-tune" maps to better odds. And I would like not to became Neutral or Bad just to be friends to at least one of them...

The good and neutral races are just too soft.
Any ideas?
