Strategy Articles!

[Stone Mill]

Cheers, mates! Pleased to hear your comments.

Rags/Slick, I really appreciate your opinions on hosting this, you did such a nice job with the FAQ. As you can see, the format is a bit different. Are you suggesting a hosted HTML page on someone's site?

After see the empire characteristics of an human player at the first contact, I know if will be a balanced game or not...

I agree, and good suggestion. There is a need for discussing creating a good empire... would be logical as #1.

Very nice article, Stone Mill! It left me wishing you had written the others as well

Well, I'm going to try and bang one article out every so often... On a few topics I have something in mind already. I should have another one up next week. On the topics for which I am not an expert, I will include strategies / ideas I've read from other players, and cite them as needed.

A Strategy Article is an inside look how a player approaches a certain aspect of the game. It is not necessarily right or wrong, or all-inclusive. I welcome anyone who wishes to try one, you can model my format, if you please. It is a neat opportunity to do a bit of creative writing. If you have an idea, or wish for me to clean it up for you, you can always send me an email or forum message, or post here.

Since this sort of thing is something I don't mind, I will continue to try an put together some decent articles. (As long as you don't get tired of my long-windedness).
