Balance of power

this game

from GalCiv3 Forums

so... I have 3x as many planets 

i have 15 ships that take no damage because they are so much better than any fleet i have seen. 

I have 30 or so more techs than any race.

i have 3x of every resource

i have every relic bonus in the game. 

every planet has atleast 3x asteriod belts..

I saved my heroes to all be leaders and they are all focused on research with the rest to weath.

 

I am basically invincible and can't even be touched by any other civ but somehow I am in last place by about 10 fold?

 

Any one can tell my why this game sucks so fucking bad?

 

also only on turn 130...

it is because you have 15 ships.  Military rating has to do with overall attack and hitpoint values, not the "untouchable" status of your ships.  Most likely the AIs have a lot more than 15 "paper tigers".  You may actually be in the lead, despite the graphs.

But, if you aren't having fun, play something else I suppose.

It is actually fun to attack the civ with the highest rated military with a teched out fleet, and watch their graph plummet.  :)  Getting their planets isn't too bad either.

Other things to possibly look at:  How is your population (main source of raw production)?  Are you creating good focused adjacency hubs on your planets?  You mentioned all your citizens are leaders, but what about administrators (for more colonies / starbases )?

I love leaders, but they only become really useful when you have a lot of planets.  You get more gain from putting a scientist (or whatever) directly on a planet, for a 30% bonus instead of 6% per planet, until you have enough planets to justify.  Also, on-planet citizens level up over time, so continue increasing the percentage bonus.
