Galactic Reign (Free) - Outwitters' Windows Counterpart?

RE: Galactic Reign (Free) - Outwitters' Windows Counterpart?
Played a few more turns. Two fun things that happen in this game:

  1. Arms races - You can see enemy fleets on adjacent planets to your own, and you can see the general value level of those fleets. So you spend your resources trying to make sure your own fleets are strong enough to defend if they should attack. This results in both fleets growing like crazy.
  2. Reinforcements - I had a fun moment when there was an enemy fleet prepared to attack one of my planets where I had a relatively small fleet. Luckily, I had a stronger fleet on a planet adjacent to that one that my enemy couldn't see. So I moved it forward to help out in case he attacked. He did, and I destroyed him. So you have to consider whether your enemy might have reinforcements lurking somewhere that you're not aware of.

In general, this game is all about resource management. Do I spend my resources building my fleets, or do I colonize a planet, or do I conduct research into additional ship types, better weapons, and enhancements (cloaking devices, increased rate-of-fire modules, etc.)?

If you don't get my jokes, it's because of Postmodernism.
