  1. Wow, that is a long list. Good luck.

    For Alpha Centauri, you can beat it in one to three sittings, as long as those are four hour sittings.

    Here are a couple of tips for it:

    Play as Santiago, the Spartans their military power really helps in the long run.

    In order to save yourself from endless nagging, you need to eliminate the Hive, the Believers and the Gians, in that order. These factions are probably the worst when it comes to asking for resources, and trying to strong arm you into giving them tech. And will likely attack you within a few turns.

    Brother Lal likes to get close, in term of territory, if you’re his pact-brother, and I mean very close.

    When all else fails, planet busters work well, but you need a lot to cripple everyone else.

    Yeah, I like Alpha Centauri a lot.

    Tim.
