How does HE do without immunities?

Very playable. Since you get double your selected growth rate, you can either cut your selected rate in half and spend all those points on goodies, or you can keep your growth rate high and have reallyfastgrowth.

For example, start with the humanoids, switch to HE, and reduce your mines operated to 9. That leaves you at +3 points, and a 30% growth rate with half the capacity per planet. Tweak from there as you see fit.

If you instead start with the humanoids, switch to HE, and drop your growth rate to 8, you've got 555 points to play with.

Since you know you aren't playing *against* monsters, you don't have to try to build a monster yourself.
