Hints, Tips,Tricks and suggestions for Turn Blitz #2

1) Micromanagment is only possible for small empires. If you are of any reasonable size, plan ahead, and decide which ministers you will clean up after.

2) Infrastructure is more important than military details.
Order defense fleets to attack a nearby target of opportunity if you like, but concentrate on your planets and production.

note: You can change planet designations (mining colony, research planet, etc) in the colonies window.

Looks like TB1 is stuck again.

One thing that will piss me off no doubt, is the ship names and how im sure they'll progress to numbers eventually and i'll have no concept of what is happening.

I dealt with that by naming things that I designed starting from the bottom of the list. I only recently met the AI somewhere in the "U"s.

And would there be a way to know what people choose for tehir racials if i didn't play in the Last game?

Well, you could just look at TB1's Game Info page. About half of us used the default name of the race we're using, and almost all of us listed the shipset as well.

Looks like TB1 is stuck again.

Not just stuck this time; the turn failed on the server.

I've given TB1 another kick in the pants, and its processing fine now.

Geo:
Any idea on why it would outright fail and then start working again?
