Master of Orion II

I played the old dos game Master of Orion II with a friend the other day.

Afterwards I thought about a strategy, which I want to try out next time we play (co-op). I am writing it down here in order to remember it:

• Race:
  • Democratic/creative
  • Rich/large/artifact home world
  • +1 food
  • +1 production
  • Non-diplomatic, with bad defence
• Plan:
  • Build: Colony bases
  • Research: Automated factories
  • Build: Scouts + Colony ship
  • Research: Research lab + Robotic factories
  • Research: Food/Growth/Spies (and focus on expanding new colony)
  • Research: Pollution processors + Missiles
  • Build: Colony ship
  • Research: Supercomputer + Morale (and make money for expansion meanwhile).
  • Research: Robo-miner plants (and add extra research planet)
  • Research: Environmental + Missiles + Armor, Stock Exchange + Alien Management, …
  • Try to catch some subterrans..
