AI War:Getting More Knowledge
How Do I Get More Knowledge?
Q: I've used up all the knowledge I have. How do I get more?
A: Each individual planet will only give each player a maximum of 2,000 knowledge. You can look at the Intel Summary in the Galaxy View to see how much knowledge you've received from each planet. If you control a planet that hasn't been exhausted, send your science lab(s) there.
If you've completely exhausted all of your planets, then the general thing to do is to take an enemy planet -- you should be doing that anyway, if you can. If you can't muster the forces to take any enemy planets, then what you could do is just establish a beachhead on one, and send your science labs along for the ride. You don't have to control a planet to gain knowledge from it. You just have to protect your Science Labs while they are there. Sending a Science Lab II, which is slower and more expensive than the regular Science Lab, is necessary on really heavily defended planets (such as those with Ion Cannons).
