Playing a game on the new incredible difficulty, gigantic map size with my own custom faction and all of the 8 major races, I was quickly attacked by the Krynn(surprise surprise). After fighting them for quite a while, barely holding against them for some time I finally began to get the upper hand when I encountered the Yor, who, along with the Drengin are the obvious powerhouses in the galaxy. Luckily for me, and the rest of the galaxy, they are keeping pretty busy fighting each other and not gobbling up us smaller nations. Regardless the Yor declared war on me and the Altarans anyways. Considering I didn't want to try and fight the Krynn and the Yor at the same time, I decided to negotiate peace with the Krynn, and traded a few of their small planets I had managed to take from them for peace. They accepted, however, the planets failed to be exchanged and I still have control of the planets several turns later.
