Yikes.
I see how that could be a complication.

True, but you are diverting their troops away from your own border at the same time.
Why stick to flying in just one unit? And why bother with shipping mil-units, once you can fly them? (And also, why suffer the expense/ pollution/ game-slowdown caused by building more Airports than you need?) If you have multiple mostly-idle Slaves on your home Continent, don't just build one Airfield in your core, build one per core-city!When I go to invade the other continent, I put another slave worker in one of the slots in my galleons / transports. After my troops have landed and weathered the AI's initial counterattack, the slave goes out and builds an airfield next to my beachhead city. Now I can fly in one unit (usually infantry, sometimes cavalry) each turn, every turn, while my navy returns for refills.
You can see what the best players do, here :...Or maybe all the good players just focus on domination wins?
At one point -- shortly after ABLES SG, IIRC -- I did actually write such a text doc (mainly for my own purposes) about Space Race wins. I don't have it on my desktop box, so (assuming I still have it) it's most likely on my XP-laptop: if you're interested, I'd be happy to dig it out and upload it.As I enter the Modern Era in my latest game, pursuing yet another SS victory, it occurs to me that I haven't seen anyone list the best/recommended/optimal order for researching the required techs to build the SS. I'm thinking about writing a mini-guide that describes my thoughts, but I don't want to re-do work if someone has already done it. I didn't see a guide in the "Strategy Articles" forum, but I may not have looked far enough.

I haven't looked at it for a while though, and given that I was a relatively new graduate to Emp-level when I wrote it, it would probably need (a lot of) work to be useful as a Strat Article...
Found it. It's kind of didactic, and probably longer than it needs to be. It was also saved as an .rtf, not a .txt/.doc, so was not directly uploadable to CFC (not one of the permitted file extensions): for simplicity, I've re-saved it as a .txt, but the paragraph formatting may now be wonky (looks OK on my machine, but YMMV...).That would be helpful! I've got a Excel sheet that I've used to sort some data, and I'm doing some playtesting to check my recommendations. But I'm playing at a lower difficulty level, so some input from an Emperor-level player would be welcome.
