Still think I made a strong civ? ^) Compare with what mesor and weirdsound want... I'll get destroyed fast :)

BTW, 10ebbor10, is my application good enough?

Hah somebody has to provide balance and stability to the rest of you and we all know doing it diplomatically ain't gonna fly for long.
So I'll just enforce it with a couple dozens gunships :).
And 5000 or so very grumpy soldiers.
And tanks, never never forget the tanks because as anybody who has ever played halo knows.
Tank beats everything.

And my only hope is to get support from one of these superpowers. Or to get a big tech buff, which I think I'll go do.

Okay. Just add the techs (general knowledge is slightly below modern level).Can't start on the ship though, it's heavily damaged. A description of the place where you'd like to land would be nice, but I still need to make a map too. One note is that pop only counts working members of society, for reasons of simplicity.

It's fine. Maybe a bit weak. (Considering that you're outgunned even by the pacifistic civilizations).

Tank beats everything.
((GM rebalancing beats everything))

I thought you hadn't finished rewriting your sheet yet. Because at this point you outgun everyone, have a stronger industrial base, better food supply, a larger population and quite possibly every other advantage too.

That was kinda my idea.
Self sustaining city, very isolated, large military.

*If that was a signup for the Centauri colonies, there's jsut one problem. 100 000 people is just to much. You'd either overpower everyone or die due food shortage/ internal rebellion.
I did pick Alpha Centauri :P So I'll reduce the numbers a bit

EDIT: And done.

Can I make my marines genetically enchanted? To compensate low numbers, lack of heavy weapons and tools
If I can, how far can I go?

Quite far. Earth's tech level was rather elevated in the past, so they would have been able to make some serious modifications.

This.
Correction. Disadvantage: Mass Balancing by GM
Kinda. Cardboard armor and nerf guns for everyone.

((Also, mid game balancing by suprisingly specific natural disasters*))
*Only if I have too.

I removed 1/3 of my population.
1000 soldiers.
And reduced the infrastructure a bit.
I still have all the buildings and stuff but I have less of them now.

But why make a person with larger numbers weaker?
Anybody can choose to have large numbers if they want to they just decided not to.
