Multilis wins games with his silly newbie concepts. Have already been putting similar techniques into practice with players never met before game and races not tuned for job. Sometimes I have to email them a spreadsheet before they understand well.
The planets produce every single turn, even during exchanges. The IS pop grows in space. At most only 2 exchanges are needed.
Go look at the player list in Transformers. My silly newbie concept is being practiced there. It would all other major powers combining against me to bring me down now and due to human nature, and situation beyond the game that likely won't happen.

No Sotek I would not have been crushed. I fought the entire CFLKIAB game against a stronger opponent, a JOAT who I had to throw 3 times as many warships at to slowly gain ground.
I had to give the SD my best early colony to get first minelayers. The minelayers I got were built with my own colony(s) mainly. Sort of like tech trading, I traded factories and mines for my help... the point I am making here of what is possible in a team game. And it was no suprise for you, I told you before you started war that I was trading with an SD.
If it was a 1 on 1 I would have instead focused on scout based minelayers and destroyer skirmisher/snipers and stardock defenders like my previous game. I would have even more to work with if I wasn't trading it but poorer tech. One can fight war low tech with enough numbers.
My HW was called Hydra and that was the plan. I would be a seven headed Hydra who could grow heads faster than you could chop them off.
You saw how fast I dealt with Aliens suprise SD help. HE has own bag of tricks. You didn't get to see them all as no need to show, no need to build more warships than needed to do the job (all become obsolete soon enough).
Your error imo was your approach. You as AR would hit a mineral slump even with those 500 extra mines. You made other neighbours mad/scared. You didn't hook up with Goober who was by hab and race design your most complementary race.
