2 problems i found was :

-Getting minerals, starting out getting a fleet of miners is a pain and takes forever to pay back

-Defending the colonies so that small fleets of destroyers dont just go around popping them all in one go

-Finding green planets with 1 in 5 hab...last game i had to wait 15 years for my scouts to find my first green planet...then more time to ship a pinta there, etc.

The third one is solved by building more scouts. The first two are inherent in playing AR and there's really not much you can do about that. I'm getting ripped apart in Cut-Throat exactly because of these! All I can say is, don't bother wth AR if you can possibly be attacked before the 2440s - you will lose and almost anyone who has an opportunity to kill an AR will do so eagerly. I didn't learn my lesson the first couple times this happened, but I'm learning now finally.

In sum, AR is strong late but really weak early. People know this. Therefore, it's very difficult and mostly dependent on luck and the whims of whoever you start next to as to whether you survive the early part against humans.
