Miriam is drawn to Fundamentalist: it plays well with her other abilities and makes her a wretched researcher, but that is not the case with you, and in the absence of choosing Fundamentalist to render your bases and units immune to covert actions, the efficiencies of Democracy become much more attractive in | Miriam is drawn to Fundamentalist: it plays well with her other abilities and makes her a wretched researcher, but that is not the case with you, and in the absence of choosing Fundamentalist to render your bases and units immune to covert actions, the efficiencies of Democracy become much more attractive in peace time, with Police State in times of crisis (coupled with your inherently fewer drones to begin with). | ||

Building stuff quickly is what you guys do! All you need is Planetary Networks, and Doctrine Flex if you start by yourself, and you're off and running. Infiltrate, steal tech in the early game to give you the tools you need, and then use that amazing infrastructure to build everything with | Building stuff quickly is what you guys do! All you need is Planetary Networks, and Doctrine Flex if you start by yourself, and you're off and running. Infiltrate, steal tech in the early game to give you the tools you need, and then use that amazing infrastructure to build everything with lightening speed. By the time you get your Treefarms in place, you'll have to remind yourself that you have a research penalty, things will be rolling along so well for you, and if you're pressed by an attack, it's easy to build a stout army very quickly with cash + your native industry. Domai must be fairly active at least in the early game) as a Builder though, much in the same vein as Miriam's Builder game. Probes are about the only way you can reach those much needed early game techs in reasonable time, so use them! | ||
