Congratulations!  It generally takes folks several games to get up to speed, but then hit their stride.  Dying a lot still happens, but that's at least half the fun :)

And yea, if you play fast you can probably burn through a vanilla 7/7 in 4-5 hours once you know what you're doing unless it's got something nasty going on.  8-10 hours is more common.  The FS campaign is slower than that, though, depending on how far you pursue it.

Four to five hours!  I will have to overcome my hyper-cautious instincts to play that fast.  :) 

I knew I was going slowly when I started getting achievements like "Long Campaign" and "In it for the Long Haul" and "From Here to Eternity", or some such.  :P  This for a 60-planet map on 4/5, heh. 

Going to fire up the Spire campaign tonight.  Can't wait!

Just one advice: Before you harvest the first shard, have your fleet ready. That's all I'm saying ;)
