Ok I got plenty of games under my belt. But I have only tried Suicidal once. I almost won but almost doesn't count for jack cause I got owned. I almost won by cultural influence on a tiny galaxy. with just 1 opponent the Torians with there default settings cause there the weakest (in my opinion). It was a slap to the face how epic Suicidal is. The Torians fly away in money, econ, and military. A mega event the Jagged Blades happened and I was already trying to win with culture. I made the Torians go to war with The Blades to make them like me a bit more but really to buy myself some more time. Well I got all their planets down to 5%to 30% approval rating and still falling and almost got 75% of the galaxy but then they went to war with me and I was raped (lol)in say ahhhh 5 to 10 turns I really don't remember but you get the point. So what the hell do I have to do to win a game on Suicidal. I know I have only summitted 6 or 7 games in the metaverse on tough. I have won 5 to 10 games on crippling. Didnt summit cause metaverse was down or something else. My favorite normal races are Thalans, Yor and Altarians. Some times a custom race too. I like Diplomacy(5-20+%), Economics(30%+), Luck, Miltary production (30%+), social production (30%+), moral (15-20%+), Population growth (10-20%+), research (10-20%), and sometimes speed (10%). I like Hive mind or super diplomat. Governments ahhh Econ, tech, socal and military, and universalist. I am usually Neutral, little good but rarely evil. My I usually win with tech victory 40% of the time, or diplomatic 30% of the time, sometimes military 20% of the time and 10% culture. I play all galaxy sizes. I have been using more random galaxy options lately. So what are some good strategies I need to win Suicidal, or Race abilities, governemts, super abilities I should use to win. should I actually try with lots of opponents to let them fight I out and join a powerful side, or watch from the sidelines and keep everyone happy. What do I have to do?
