Observations on TDM-Mod

[Gorgo]

I've been playing with the TDM-Mod for about a year now, and feel compelled to post a few observations:

1. Many of the Modpack races are pretty good against me, but not so good against some of the original races.
2.The Modpack races are very good at the early stages of the game, and in the end, the winner is: the Praetorians.

Saying this, many of my best SE IV moments have to do with the TDM-Mod: Attacking a Sergetti planet defended by 9 (!) starbases, or seeing the Klingons prosper although they had started with two systems cut off to the rest of the galaxy by a black hole.

I have no idea why the Praetorians are so strong, it'd be interesting to hear other's comments on this.

How I play: 1 starting planet, small AI bonus, hard difficulty, peaceful strategy (never start wars)
