There is a common perception that the pinnacle of the game is building the biggest fleet possible, smashing it into your opponents planets then repeating on any future opponents. While this is certainly a big part of the game many players are missing some of the subtleties that can make the difference between a 1st place finish and a 2nd place finish. The purpose of this guide is to educate moderately experienced players so they can make the leap to being a galactic terror. It is not set-up as a step-by-step guide but as a series of how-to guides on specific topics. If you have not finished a real galaxy(sandbox does not count) then you should wait to read this guide.
