From what I've learned, players in this forum doesn't play the late game conquerers!
I mean, as a conquerer I like to defeat the factions that the AI rated good enough to be described as unsurpassed!(which are mostly HIVE, PK, UoP or Gaians) These are all mighty late game factions! I prefer to see my shard infantry having it out with another shard infantry with the same armor as mine!(sometimes LUCK plays a big part) I mean what's the fun in shard vs plasma steel armor???
Although UoP needs some curbing to let him know his place is always below mine!

Heheheeh. I love late game conquering.....I stay as a medium-size builder the whole game, then unleash terrible units like quantum singularity nerve gas choppers
(Crop Dusters) or my quantum singularity deathspheres (Why do grav units have the name deathsphere......)

Wow! You have units with both a Quantum- and a Singularity engine?
Impressive!

I like every unit with a blink displayer!

No, no. A quantum singularity deathsphere is either a Gravship with Quantum Engine and a Singularity Laser or a Gravship with Singularity Engine and the Quantum laser.

Wow, some pretty heavy armament there for Plato90s. My tactics usually include "A LOT" and I really mean a lot of air units-choppers for picking off invading infantries and needlejets for slowing down or picking those further away. My infantries are only mobilized when I want to take over a base or a major invasion. If an enemy is concentrating lots of units in a forward base, then a healthy dose of bombardments is just what the doctor ordered! I don't like defending a base of mine by stacking infantries or garrison in the base because the enemy infantries can really give the base a toll by destroying the improvements!!!

I like taking a base than building 1 defense unit. After that build artillery and air units. IMHO the best defense is destroying enemy units before the get to your city.
I really like doing this to the believers. Completely blows their +25% to attack.
