No no it happens with any race.

In my last game played the Horatio were popping fleets like crazy.

Plus it generally comes with the bug where the number of max command point is not respected... so an explosive combination...

max command points is respected in battles, just not on the strategy map

all races will spam fleets in war time - that is a legit strategy - your task is to hit their main construction centres while guarding your own

have played three games as sophons - in all three the horatio and hissho never sucessfully expand and end up crushed by the cravers UE or both

Finally beat up my first game played on hard. Played on Hissho and as enemies had sophons and cravers. Wiped out the cravers early-midgame and kept defending against the sophons until they gave me a 3 turn window to give lethal blow to their systems. And so the Hissho spread.

Though agree to the fleet spamming. This time it just didn't continue forever : )

Normal is the best I could beat

Tried Hard and Serious once and those cheating bastards score multiply 3 fold each turn

One turn it was 4000+ and the next turn it became 14000+

wow, I play Sophons with a conservative approach to expansion and just steam roll in combat thanks to having twice the techs by turn 50 - rotate ind→dust converion around your systems while the others improve and you'll be churning out enough Science to grab techs every other turn

I play only large maps with one of each race

Hard with the Sophons. Their research is insane.

I didn't try Serious or Impossible so far.

United Empire(me) Vs Hissho. Also Sophons were there too, but they didn't interfere untill I had beaten the Hissho.

I am virtually finished with a 125+ turn game with 4 hard opponents (one of each of the other races). By "virtually", I mean that I own half the galaxy with another quarter of it under seige by me. I've already annihilated the Sophons and the Hissho have only one more system left. I'm having the most problems with the Empire. The Empire on my game still has his command cap at 5 (WTF?), so he is sending single Dreadnaughts but in "groups" of 15-20...wich is frustrating since my maxed fleets can only attack once per turn. I'm running on the largest size spiral-8 galaxy with all win conditions turned off (I wanted to play a game to see if I could take the entire galaxy...hard to do if I, or someone else, would win with a "scientific/economic/etc victory" or something like that which would always happen around turn 100-120). I'm currently playing as the Cravers since their advantages, mostly expansion/military, were of use to this particular game and the only real "disadvantage" is that you can't be at peace with everyone...which I didn't plan on anyways

. I also have the "Pirates" set to insane which makes for some fun/hair ripping frustration in the early game. I think I am gonna play again on the hardest setting (impossible?) on my next go but I may play as the Hissho next time. Awesome game!

Hey

Normal for me at the moment. Can't really decide really what race I would like to play if I decided to go hard. I think for me personally I would wait till they have tweaked the diplomacy a bit more.

Although as I have been playing for over 40 hours now I have only played 10 games I have had only one victory as the Empire and that was a Economic one but I did not select that in the menu screen it was the Supremacy which is to conquer the other races home systems. So that maybe have been a bug or glitch.

As I play with a large spiral-8 galaxy with medium wormholes which I think helps for my own expantion.

I've beat Impossible 1v1v1. It isn't too hard, it is just long and tedious and I didn't enjoy it at all. It basically consisted of me creating 10 trillion destroyers to find their big ships resistance holes and trading them 1 for 1 or 2 for 1.

Seriously those pirates are insane. Turn 20, oh here's a 20 ship pirate fleet that has missiles and kinetic damage. Hurrah I beat that crazy pirate fleet. 7 more come out of a dead end system behind your territory.

Pirates are easy, i use them to farm xp on heroes and science on cravers. Their ships have almost no defenses, and they are tiny, u just have to research a lot of weaponry and be ahead of them with cruisers.

I beat it on impossible, and frankly there didn't seem to be any difference in game play. I was expecting to get flooded by overpowered enemy factories, but that didn't happen. I don't know what that switch is supposed to do, but it didn't make the game harder for me.
