First calm down and play at a lower level. I agree that the computer seems too militaristic. Sure that might be ok for the evil races, but the good races commiting genocide as soon as they see their friendly neighbor is weak seems a bit much.

It gets me the weapon techs I need, and I can way outproduce anyone else in galaxy. <br
