Use the Dread Lords to your advantage:
--------------------------------------
Dread Lords are extremely tough if you don't have enough fire power. But their advance
in technology is ultimately their weakness. When playing with AI allies, you may wonder
why sometimes they get really advanced technology. That's because they just captured a
Dread Lord occupied planet. Fortunately, their defensive capabilities are not as good 
as their offensive capabilities in ground attack. So if you want to get full advantage
of the Dread Lords, prepare one planet near their border for continuous capture and 
re-capture. Each time you re-capture the planet, you get one really advanced technology. 

Dealing with Dread Lords:
-------------------------
There is a way to effectively deal with Dread Lords. Their tactic is to send in small 
ships to weaken your planet defenses and then send in their usually unguarded troop ships.
Their ships are all weapons and no defense. So its best you create a fleet of tiny ships
with the best weaponry available. Make sure you have logistics technology so you can attack
their ships with your fleet with an adequate number of ships.
Their tiny ships has the speed of 11 and their small/medium ships have the speed of 5 and
their troopships (that look like squids) have a speed of 6, so be sure to have sufficient
ship engine technology to catch up with them. The troop ships is only a problem if you don’t
have ships orbiting your planets. Since they are usually unguarded, its best to create a 
small or tiny ship with only one minor weapon and a lot of engines, so you can attack them
quick and clean. Creating a scout ship with no weapons and full of scanning modules, 
positioned at border planets also helps you prevent surprise attacks.
