allright, this time i hope my message will be posted!

this is about winning without any researcher. here is the race

lithovorous, industry +1, spying +1, charisma, feodality, science -1, ground combat -1

the strategy is:

no farmers, no scientists, workers only
build outposts before colonies to get fast marines barracks
be friendly with all races to get some useful RPs, BCs and non-aggression pacts, but no alliance
carry the research with heroes and automated labs.
at the begining, spy on repulsive ones that cannot reach your empire
never stop builing ships and spies
when your fleet is larger, start spying on the weakers. they will not complain too much.
focus the research on improving spying, pop. growth, confederation, income, command points, and devices that the others do not have

the drawbacks are
- really hard if the games starts at pre-warp
- being attacked at the very begining
- the elimination of an empire is bad for research!

i will enjoy some feedback and comments. it will help me improving this strategy

That could be a fun challenge. I wish I could get to it, but I have Homm4 to finish and then MM9. The advanced tech is something you choose, so selec pre-warp if you don't want it.
