    Here is the actual best was to kill the Expert AI: at game start, send your Explorer to the enemy town, and shoot at an enemy villager. The AI will retreat all its villagers to its towncenter. Wait for them to come out at a save distance, and repeat. In this way the AI will never have enough resources and will be forever stuck in age 1 without the possibility to ever make a single militairy unit.

      Yep, thats totally legit. But you always have to jump between your tc and your explorer. I would not do it for eg 25mins. But cntrl1 for explorer and cntrl2 for tc makes it very easy (some beginners who dont do the cntrl -number because they do not see the assigned unit - will not)

    Settlers 2. It's an ancient game, really, really old, from the early 90', I think. It was remastered. It's a strategy, and or looks like it has a solid exploiting potential. I love it, I used to play it all the time. I don't know whether this franchise is older than HoMM, but it's about as old as HoMM2 or so. It ran on MSDOS, and later on Windows 3.1 maybe. I played it as a kid, and as an adult. It's campaign is definitely challenging.

This strategy requires way too much set up and you would be absolutely shat on in a multiplayer game, especially if your opponent simply puts straight up soldiers and resources in their deck and puts on pressure early. In fact, I could see this strat failing horribly in a 1v1 with the AI on expert difficulty; or even hard for that matter.

    I'm pretty sure you were supposed to create the TP's in a line and slowly 'worm' towards the enemy bases.
    Build one in front of the line, of like ten TP's, and sell the one in back. You should be able to actually win the game by worming through the map to destroy all of the enemy bases.

    I didn't see Sioux artillery. If they lack the means of producing or buying artillery, they couldn't shoot back against heavy artillery without closing the distance, right? If so, couldn't another civilization just use artillery against the tipi squares and force the Sioux to either stay in place and be obliterated, or leave the tipi zone to try to destroy the artillery?

    Found myself a lovely exploit usable in the current version of Stellaris to have invincible ships. Albeit it's a bit mid-game, but it's literal invincibility.
    First, you're going to need all the major expansions, and the Lithoids race pack.
    Secondly, make a Terravore civilization. (Devouring Swarm Lithoids) By base, they regenerate 0.25% of their hulls and armors of all their ships (and starbases/defensive structures) every day. That's not a lot, but it gets better, trust me.
    Next, you'll want to personally create versions of all your ship and defensive structures that have no shields, but massive amounts of armor.
    Focus on upgrading your armor technologies, getting them to level 5 armor, and armor +5% bonuses whenever possible, as well as hull upgrades for ships.
    The last two steps have to do with psionics.
    You'll have to learn Psionics and make your entire civilization be psionics via the Transcendence ascension perk.
    Learn to make and create at least one Titan or larger ship, and of course, give it only armor.
    Finally, the part you've been waiting for; the nigh-invincibility.
    This one takes a bit of luck with communing with The Shroud.
    Commune with The Shroud until you run into an option that says "Ship Repair".
    For the next 60 months after every time you activate the "Ship Repair" Shroud event successfully, you will increase your daily hull and armor regen by another 0.5%.
    This means all of your ships will be healing for 0.75% of their maximum armor and hulls every single day.
    How does this make you invincible though? It's just simple health regeneration, right?
    Titan ships have a 10,000 base hull. That's 100 health regenerated a day, which means 100 damage is negated, by base. This is of course, an unupgraded Titan ship with no armor, no bonuses from admirals and technologies.
    Lastly, the final piece of the puzzle, a Juggernaut.
    After you build a Juggernaut, units it's in the same space as will never die, ever.
    Juggernauts are unique in that you can only build one, it counts as a space station with the ability to directly repair ships and create new ones, and come with a special aura effect of your choice. We're of course going to choose the one that mimics our Terravore bonus of 0.25% hull and armor regeneration per day.
    In total, all of your ships near the Juggernaut are going to regenerating 2% of their total health bar per day, which means any damage an enemy can deal under that number is effectively zero.
    To make it even better, the Juggernaut by itself has a 100,000 health hull by base, meaning the enemy would need to do over 1,000 damage a day to it to even begin to scratch it.
    It is possible to do more than 1,000 damage daily with a ship, but when you're not regenerating 2% of your lifebar, you're going to lose to the enemy who is.

      "Sioux" is a term coming from the French, the absence of pronunciation rules in English randomised its pronounciation but in French it is and was always fixed from its spelling.
      SI - OU - X : "si" is pronounced as "see", "ou" as the "oo" of "loose", and the "X" is silent.
      Seminole comes from the Spanish "Seminola". The non subjective pronounciation would therefore be :
      "sé" ( s sound + "é" as in café or pokémon) - "me" - "no" - "la". I guess the "la" became a simple "l" sound in english.
      The English pronounciation is really messed up. It confused it's rules between Germanic and Latin roots, leading to this kind of modern nonsense.

    1. They usually are in the very late game.
    2. If everyone is OP then no one is.
    So yeah, Sioux have an immortl army... just in their base. Russians can build 3 forts in front of enemy bases... when mortars are already available. French can instantly create their elite Cavalry... which is difficult to counter, right, but if you let the enemy go to that point then well. I actually like that these OP mechanics are in this game as they allow to finally break impas and let someone win unlike in e.g. Cossacks where games can take hours and may never end, unless the enemy is not watching at the moment.
