LURKERS COMMENT Looks like this could be the mother of all Phoenix comebacks if you can pull it off. I've been lurking for the last month or so and this is about the first thread I look for now! Much prefer epic struggles like this, even prefer losing epic struggles to more straightforward...

Thanks everyone - its definitely helped with all the advice on here. I followed up on the building of Theory Of Evolution idea and right enough, my 2 free techs got me right back in it! I made quite a bit of money selling some of the techs and I've now got decent income and I'm also 4 turns...
