A short AAR of my own then?
Humans had fast ships (+1 move). This allowed them to expand quickly and settle three wtar systems early on. They soon met the Yor to the east, the Altarians to the north, and the Scottlingas to the South. As soon as the humans had some technologies to sell (the Technologists held the power all the game, even later when in Federation), they sold it for tributes over a long time to Altarians and Scottlingas. Humans would often refer to Scottlingas as "cash cows". The Yor were always bankrupt, so it was hard to trade with them.
Altarians had expanded far, even into human sectors, so Human leader Moi decided to attack them and seize the stars in our sectors. Mankind also conquered two more sectors to the north and then made peace.
Meanwhile, the USS Hero travelled acorss the galaxy, finding scout ships and meeting aliens which all became small cash cows. The ship would later be able to destroy 4 dreadnoughts in one turn all by itself, without being reduced to less than 100 hit points.
The Yor were becoming quite strong, so Moi decided to wage an influence war against them. A cluster of 6 production starbases around or production capital, another cluster of 6 influence starbases, and the influence war went on well. Too well in fact. Soon, the Yor were all converted, but the Scottlingas too, which ment Moi had to trade with other minor civs, and the pitiful Torians in their lower western corner.
At a time, an accident occurred, as a human fanatic shot the Drengin leader. Drengins attacked humanity, but Moi had built dreadnoughts to protect himself just in case. The Drengins soon sued for peace, giving all their techs, credits and influence.
Moi then realized his cultural influence was huge, and he was going to have all the world culturally conquered in 2 years. The technologists were unhappy, as they wanted a science victory, so social and military funds were reduced to almost nothing, and research increased. That didn't work, however, as the rest of the galaxy surendered to Moi before we had time to go through the 4th dimension.
