Meanwhile, why you monger war in the far afield, I am forming a shockingly dense cluster of colonies combined with very well-managed planets and a proliferation of PD.
If dark days ever come to our alliance, my space shall be our last refuge and citadel.
And I will, in a few months, be producing an absolutely copious amount of resources from all these colonies.
I'm still producing 30-40 arcs every turn, keep up if you can
Just hit 30 pages of planets, my biggest problem will be that soon if I want to keep expanding close to my current holdings, I will have to declare more wars, time to look for a new place to expand to.
