I love this game, but I have a couple of suggestions to make the game better and more realistic. Revolution and civil wars. Revolutions: if you get conquered and eliminated give players the option to spectate. Then after spectating for x amount of turns, let the player rejoin as the same home country and let them fight to be free. Also, the option should be given to the conqueror to free a revolting nation. Civil war: A player wants to play as the same country that as been picked. After letting him spectate for x amount of turns, let him choose to start a civil war. If the other player loses, all territory occupied by that player should be given to the player that started the civil war. Please review this suggestion.
This game really needs the ability to reduce your military. I lost a game because I had units too far away from my capital that I really did not need and I needed money bad so that I could recruit units closer.
Would you like an awesome ship? First, starting as an Earth Empire officer, press F8 and type in "earthownsall" (this causes the Earth Empire to own every single planet except uninhabited ones). Then, after getting +100 away team xp, colonize and planets for the Earth Empire. You should gain the rank as Fleet Commander and get an awesome Earth ship.
Something I find useful (meaning others might not): Militia makes good attackers, mostly for neutral cities. The idea is to have more militia than there is in the neutral city.
I like this game because there is a lot of teamwork involved and this game is very realistic. I do wish though that there was an easier way to give cities to allies. You can do so but it you have to move all your units out fisrt then your ally sends units in.
