In the settings you can stop the opening film from playing each time, that making the game load up much faster. If I click anything at all while it is loading, it crashes on me. Update! The patch in January 2015 fixed the problems various people were having.Most will put their first city on the shore, so sending a load of evolved gunboats over to blast away its defenses, and then have a melee unit walk on in and claim it, is rather simple to do. I had already wiped out most of their military and would've easily taken out their few remaining cities, but still, seems kind of odd. I just won a game where I captured a city, and surprise, it was the capital, so I won. I would like an option to wipe out all cities, not have to waste time hunting down every unit they might have out there somewhere to win.

I see an option that you have to wipe out all cities and units to win. You can get rid of all resource pods, set it where the only victory allowed is conquest, etc. When setting up things look to the top area and you'll see Advance Settings. I play the faction now that has the bonus for Covert Operations, since spying on others is a great way to get technology fast.

A worker or soldier is pointless, you getting either of those after a few turns if you wanted to build one. When you start the game remember, don't choose anything you can easily get in the game.
