Hi,
check out the vga-faq at ftp.fu-berlin.de /pub/pc/msdos/games/vgaplanets/...
Useful hints for (and against) any race to be found there.
I never played a lizard, but from memory:
Use LCCs to transport colonists cloaked to enemy planets, unload your
colonists (still cloaked) - and with your 30:1 attack capture the planet
(and maybe the starbase) - Be aware, that for every 20 defense posts, your
enemy will get a better ratio. This means: 20 DP = 30:2 40 DP = 30:3
As always with cloakers - hunt enemy freighters down, lay minefields within
his empire ... usual hit and run tactics for races without super-carriers.
Use your Hiss mission either to produce more money, or to speed up the
increase of the number of your colonists (sorry, bad english ;)
The T-Rex is nice, but no match against the super-carriers - so avoid open
battle as good as possible.
All the above can be totally wrong - as I said, this is how I _think_ I
would play a Lizard.
Bye, Matthias

Oh yes........
>Please, help me! (now 4 turn of game)
Then it is soon time for your seccond starbase.....
Thats the advantege of the Lizzies, "MO" money and "MO" minerals....
Build ships LOTS of ship, Any ship... as long as it has beams it can
Hizzzz AND that is money right down your pocket.. the sooner you get
the seccond and third starbase going for Hizzz ship produktion the
better..
And the use your LCC'ers to ground attact your opponents, he will not
know what hit hit before it is too late......
