Played the game ? Well .... I hit some big snags quickly and decided
to put it aside for a while until I could devote some time to it.
The problems I had were:-
i) didn't seem to be able to improve tonnage rating for ships 
   even when my average tech was 20+
ii) data overflow and correlation. It is very difficult to relate
    tax/embargo/production on a quick pass
iii) the big invasion at start + 20 years :-) (Running away looks good
:-)
iV) no NOSTRUM ! I don't seem to start with any and having colonised
     6+ stars I didn't find any!

I would love to hear from anyone who has had a serious go at this game.
It does look excellent. Anyone played Supremacy and willing to review 
it ?

Cheers,
