I know that people have described an opening strategy for Mechanema, where you build an early Dreadnought, then outfit it with 2 positron computers and an extra nuclear source. This is an excellent way to beat up ancients (or other players) early on. I think this is a pretty cool opening strategy, but only if you can get enough materials early on to make it happen in a timely manner.What are people's favorite openings or early moves for the various races? Assume that you draw the hex types, resources, or technologies you need (such as an adjacent single ancient, for example) in order to maximize your opening, though you're welcome to post contingencies where appropriate.
