Don't you just love it when a good plan comes together? I want you to tell your good plans that came together well and you blindsided the other civs.

I am playing a game as the drath against the Iconians. I  went with good but I took an agressive approach.  I built up a few fleets of srigates and transports while getting close relations. After I had built up enough, I cut off my trade routes and struck! Unfortunately, I had an anti-agression pact in place so I had to wait a week before I could attack. But, I am easily sweeping through their forces. They had a small ship force which I quickly decimated. I have taken about half their planets and foresee a quick victory!
