Re: Fort Gals
As a long-time (but rather quiet) PA player, I dislike fortress galaxies. However, I think the problem is more with the fact that no one will attack them because they don't want to risk a war with that alliance. I'm not sure if there's a really good solution to that. There needs to be some kind of incentive to hit these galaxies earlier. Also, with landing being rather difficult mid-late round, that makes them that much stronger. It sucks to have to send 5-10 fleets to land one wave on one planet in a fortress galaxy, assuming you're also doing the same for other waves and on other planets, in late-game.
I think the larger problem is alliance sizes. I think alliances should be approximately cut in half, down to around 30 players. I know this has been tried in the past and didn't last long (at least as far as I recall), but I think it would help the game in general.
