Contact - early or late
Which is more advantageous or doesn't it matter?

Re: Contact - early or late
I assume you are referring to when you start meeting the other species in the game. It mostly depends on how your race is set up. A peaceful race or one that is not very good at combat might want to avoid contact until better developed. Often times the AI will declare war for no apparent reason. A warrior race however would want to find someone to fight early on to keep their population happy. There are many factors that play into the dicision to meet or not to meet. Sometimes though, the AI doesnt give you the luxury of a choice. Hope this helps answer your question.

Re: Contact - early or late
Is your strategy early game, mid game or late game? That is, do you go for the weapons, or the industry? When is your empire the strongest?

Re: Contact - early or late
I'd much rather meet someone early, than late. Do you know how annoying it is to go years without meeting someone? Especially when you're ready to vaporize someone.

Re: Contact - early or late
I like to meet neutrals early, other AI empires later. makes for a much more enjoyable game this way.
