Re: Re: Game Strategy, Galaxy Creation Setup, Difficulty and Master Points

I just beat the game at difficulty 102 and got 2724 MP, first try ;)

7 Bad Guys IQ 199 Based on IQ.

I got a good start where the planet next to me is a quality 9.5 planet with
24000+ metals on it. I colonized it on the second round and the game went on
quite smoothly, with some lucky guess work. I didn't feel much difference
with this settings compared to the 7 Bad Guys IQ 199 Thriving settings, but
the almost doubled MP makes it very worthwhile IMO.
