Hi,

I realize that I play badly enough and that I need to know the mechanics of the game and learn a correct strategy because I have a really hard time managing my colonies and I end up losing every time, so I would like to know your advice and strategies.

So I play Humans with a planet size of Large against 1 AI and at the Difficulty Level of Hog Tied, Victory Condition is 10 cities to build and Quick Production is disabled.

1. The Placement of my First Colony

Just before starting the game, if you see that the computer has set up its colony 3 squares away from mine (as it loves to do apparently often) then should you cancel the game and restart a new one ? or is it still possible to win, even if I suspect it will be difficult.

2. Defense

What should I build in defense in my territories? Some Laser Squad, or Laser Cannon or only Laser Defense ?

3. Development

How do you develop? By this I mean, under what conditions is it necessary to send a Colonizer ? Same question about building the Universities ? and what should be done to protect this new territory from the covetousness of the enemy?

I tried several tactics (in vain) :

From the beginning to capture new territories as quickly as possible and then fortify them with only two or three Laser Defense.

Or even to encircle the enemy with adjacent territories in order to block him early enough in the game.

In fact the computer comes back with units including Fusion Tanks, and ends up destroying my territories one by one, I sometimes suspect it cheats by buying advanced units on the Black Market.

I specify that I play without using the Black Market.

4. example of AI attacks

For example, the Tarths send infantry units in Berserkers mode and my poor towers are irretrievably destroyed along with everything else.

Or the Maugs with their search bonus send me much more powerful troops for my defenses.

And I don't even talk or the time or that damn AI sends Missiles on a loop every turn... as a result my Defense Towers are ruined as well as my infantry and citizens.

In short I'm lost, I beg for help because I take no pleasure in playing.

Thank you in advance.
