Campaign help for (Dread Lords)

from GalCiv2 Forums

 I have Twilight and am playing the original Dread Lords Campaign. I am on the 4th mission where you have to tale the planet Teth from the Dread Lords.
 I have bumped it all the way down to cake walk and still cant beat it. WTF. How is it possible whne their ships start with 155 beam weapons. I have tried different strats, attack fast, build first......etc.

Do I just suck?

Well, bumping to Cake Walk will only harm you since you're Allies will be gimpy.  The Dread Lords are strong...just because they are strong.  The dificulty level will mainly affect the other races in the game.

Oddly enough, large numbers of smaller ships does great work vs the Dread Lords.  You'll last more rounds in combat that way and thus be able to pick away at them.

Wouldn't bumping up the difficulty make the Dreads even stronger and build faster?

I'll try the little ships thing, I have done that before with 9 ships in a fleet but they all get killed pretty much instantly.
