- Pax Imperia 2 Hints
-
- Single player--start out by converting all your research points to
- colonization, robotic mines. Colonize planets with green smiley faces
- first. Concentrate on building construction facilities on new planets
- and buy construction points at first to get the construction sector
- going. Once you've got 2-3 upgrades in the construction sector,
- switch over to building research facilities. After awhile,
- redistribute your research points so that you're researching all types
- of technology. Be sure to research cerametal and fighter bases early.
- Don't build orbital facilities (aside from shipyards) until you need
- them. If you see an enemy headed for one of your planets, pause the
- game (backslash) and then build an orbiting fighter base and missile
- base.
- Try to take over all planets at intersection solar systems--ones that
- connect with three or more other solar systems. This will block your
- opponents until they research longer range drives.
- Add fighters to your carriers and battleships--they can frequently win
- battles all by themselves. Don't forget to pack some nuclear bombs or
- other weapons capable of attacking planets--you can't just blast them
- from space.
- When attacking fighter and missile bases, get right up next to them
- unless you've got fighters of your own.
