Sacred Haven of Debauchery

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I don't play games to be dominated, but to dominate others. On the other hand, everything is going too smoothly, almost routine: build, develop, send to a sector, and move on. Although, I console myself with the fact that those blue players, whom I surrounded, were stronger than me when we first met, but I got angry and started developing at an incredibly fast pace. Maybe the low difficulty and the overwhelming power of the Hivemind are causing this effect.
