Sorry to break it to you Icewolf, but if you are into politics then you are going to the loser side. The AIs are going to attack you eventually no matter what you do (especially with the patch), and whatever happen if you don't have a good defense then you're toast. If you have a good offense, you'll win. That's how the game is meant to be played... And since the computer AI is so incredibly weak in this game, as soon as you can take a big enough advance in tech and power you are sure to win the game. Just keep bashing until you win.
Ascendency is one of my favorite game for it's originality... But I class it sore loser at the last position for challenge and AI strenght.
If you want a real challenge, go play MOO, Civilization or way better yet, Stars!.
