    General Is it better to have a small, rich empire or a massive, poor one?

    I was checking one campaign save yesterday night and just laughing at my own mistake. Expanded everywhere early in the game. I grabbed like six territories thinking I was smart.

    General What is your favorite way to defend against an early rush?

    I was trying to relax yesterday and I jumped into one quick RTS game and boom, the opponent rushed my base like his life depended on it.
