I think you might be overly focusing on population early on. I always play of fast production because it speeds up the game, which I like. Turn 1: Land in a plain or forest if no plains in available or if I am playing as the Cyth. Tarth and Uva Mosk do well in forest too. Build a university in one t...

General race attributes: Cyth. Really like their gothic nature and interesting character design. Noticeably easier to play in DL2 because museums require a 3-turn upgrade period, one cannot satisfy overpopulation penalties of swamps/mountains, and demand 10 energy. HATE this change from the origina...

AI Personalities The AI has five distinct personalities, which gives the game variety, as well as it can make for a much more difficult game based on "luck of the draw". The five personalities are as follows: attacker, spoiler,balanced,tech leader and builder. The personalities are comple...
