As suggested by Poleus, here is my introduction as new member of the Euro Alliance Empire:
Hi there!
Requesting acces to the bunker.
I´m 30 yr old from Spain, Aerospace Engineer, only interested in strategy and building games and a fan of space related ones (civilization series, simcity, do you remember colonization??, starwars, startrek....)
I´m a political supporter of the EU since decades, and it shows (my wife is polish)
I just discovered GalCiv, and I love it (only 2 games so far, only 1 submitted though), I will try to get into the Metaverse thing as soon as possible to support our empire!!!
(whenever my wife lets me play of course....)
Is there anything special I should know about the European Alliance??

Hi Villalji,
Its great to have you on board  nice to see you have that fighting spirit 
but to tell you the truth - the most important thing (for me anyway) is that you play the game and enjoy, post the number of games that suits the time you have got and drop by this thread to say hi every time you have got 5 min.

Oh and by the way - just because i have got the highest score (right now) doesn't mean i'm the best player - i have just played more games lately 
But one of the majors things, which I myself didn't discover untill lately is: I always do whatever i can to get those AI's fighting with each other, this will make them:
1) Slow down their own development
2) Like you more - as it seems that they don't like fighting to many people at the time
3) Give you more trade. They can't trade with each other while at war, thus they will trade with you instead
It can also be used if one of the AI's are getting to strong - make the other attack him.

Aaberg,
well, thanks for the advice, I only played two games, but all you say does make lot of sense. I will try that strategy next time.
My last game I was played as a really good guy, at the end I had more than 75% of the UP and I was so nice that I even voted to give away planets to the weak guys, 2% of my income, etc. Is that good or bad for the score when you vote those things against yourself? (although obiously did not hurt me in any way...)
Also, I was thinking of going for a tech win, but they all kept surrendering to me, and I won by culture... is that normal?
btw, this IS a great forum!

It isn't unormal that once you get the upper hand on the AI's your influence will grow to the point where the AI starts flipping (thus some people - including myselft - turnoff cultural victory).
Your alignment is only affected by your choise on the events that show up (the colonization events and some of the laters one - where you actually have a choice), not but the way you act in any other aspects of the game.
The way you win the game affects your score and Military/Conquest victory score higher, thats why you would see alot of players going for this victory type, but you should play the game the way you have the most fun playing
