Yeah, I was just building power sources on everything. Turns out you really only need one. Oops.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>So yea, took me a couple tries, but finally won. Hurray! \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Last couple countries took forever to convert, so I wisely used that time to build a line linking east and west. Note to self: once I'm an interplanetary tycoon, make sure I teach my agents that planets are round!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, good job!
