In short i think the Pilgrims would be the best choice for the game to recommend, myself & others have tended to run into problems when we started playing with some of the game mechanics. I have a grasp of most of it now & feel safe playing other factions. With the Pilgrims tho, i found it alot easier to jump right in to the game & pretty much get things moving along at a good rate.

Am i wrong in thinking like this or what dose the forum think ?

Infantry win firefights. Tanks win battles. Artillery win wars.

The Amoeba is a really good choice for newer players, great trade and vision of the entire map giving you the best chance to get all the best systems before your opponents, and with strong trading (Because you can see every enemy system) you can get massive amounts of science and dust.

Ameoba or Sophons.

Ameoba for map vision, as it makes getting the first colony so much easier.

Sophons for cheap colony ships (masters of illusion) and a wonderful science bonus.

Sophons.

Easier to keep up with science as a new player and it makes them experience the game in a 'normal' manner, rather than in a way unique to only that race.

Never shift in to reverse without a backup plan.

Aye, I started with Sophons first time around.

Though I think there's some credit to suggesting Amoeba as well, they take out quite a few variables for starting players.
