How do I deal with situations where I can't get more planets and others are stronger?

from GalCiv3 Forums

I am currently in a rough place. I am the weakest faction in the game on a insane galaxy and I don't have that many more planets to colonize and am kinda boxed in between other much more powerful nations many of whom are at war with me. They also seem to have far more advanced tech than I do. What do I do?

Build tall. Focus the planets you do have on production and build out as fast as possible. How many planets do you have? I dedicate at least 1/3rd to research. These planets have at least one factory or 2, 1 or 2 farms and the rest are research buildings. The same goes for economy planets.

what turn number is it?  Build  tall as possible. Surround each planet with 5 economic starbases minimum. Agree at least 1/3 of your planets should be tech focused, and they should be high pop and class planets. 

Then, find a weak  neighbour who is not of your ideology and bribe everyone who is their ideology to attack them. Bring transports to the party, and try to take as many worlds as you can hold. Then sue for peace (or ovbliterate them) and build those worlds out

With farms , you dont want to build them all at once. Build the growth building to start with, when they aren't upgrading run birth subsidies, and slowly replace your starting 1-3 factories with farms as you need to expand your pop limit. Then start replacing your tech buildings - slowly. there is a point at which additional farms hurt you - but I think for a decent size planet that's at least 50 pop depending on your tech level
