Well, Ive done it after 40 or so playthroughs I have become Rank 1 in book of mages for each Clan, Gone through every storyline, become the great mage countless times, Gotten a perfect score 70% of the time, BUT I STILL DONT KNOW WTF TO PUT POINTS INTO AT THE BEGGINING OF EACH PLAYTHROUGH, perhaps that is where the replay ability comes in.
Don't know if anyone still plays this but, I found out that is you click "Buy Garnet" when the price is under 10000 and then clcik "Buy scraps" when the price is over 10000 eventualy, you will have an overwhelming amount of garnets, that only goes up faster. +1 so people can see. Im sure other people have figured it out but most people ignore the stock market.
Mine: 400$ Mine kills ship I get 1800$ Air balloon: 800$ air baloon kills plane, I get 2700$, I make more air baloons and mines till I win, then I relaize that even 300 air baloons cannot beat the UFo mothership.
