ORIGINAL: dtbilek I like to play completely random planets. I've been playing on normal but upgraded to Hard for my latest game. The planet I generated looks like a ton of fun with forests, giant squids, sentient life, and lots and lots of ruins. However, the start location has two slaver factions immediately adjacent and my capital is surrounded by slaver armies by like turn 5. Additionally it's in the middle of a radiation hazard and any unit outside of my capital hex starts taking rads. I've tried a bunch of times and don't seem to be able to make any headway at all for obvious reasons. I want to play on this planet but this start location is basically impossible. However, loading "last planet generated" obviously starts in the same spot every time. Is it possible to load this planet but with a completely new start? Increase recruits generation on turn one (or two) and crank it up from 500 to like 1500. Start spamming independent infantry battalions from turn one. You have only one objective: secure 2 hexes from your city (if the enemy captures hexes closer than 2 to your city you will start generating unrest and eventually you will lose that game because population will start leaving), 3+ is better when you have enough units to fill the hexes. The raiders usually wont straight up attack you (they will just grab land) and dealing them when they behave like that is easy, you just need units on hexes. The only way you should be in trouble is if both of them attack you same time (declare war). Another thing you can do is only add military council on turn one, research automatic rifles and combat armor, add model design council, and start making fairly decent infantry around turn 20. Basically appease one raider and focus on thrashing the other one around, and then repeat the process when youre done. You might think that this is a bad start, but actually if you manage to pull yourself out of that uncomfortable situation, you should have a kick ass infantry based army that can take on almost anything early to mid game.
