Praise to the Endless

Start game with galaxy seed 558505559 and sowers, for easy win go for tiny galaxy with a single newbie opponent in uniqe constellation, optimally make it as few planets as possible.

Recruit the Skuoi Kyryi hero (try to get it ASAP as exploration might change them).
Win an expasion victory against super easy AI - basically take over all their systems except for capital, AI will now also offer cease fire and usually enough planets for the victory after you take over a system or two, also create colony ships and take over new systems. GG
