I didn't do any expanding to other tiles in epoch 5 because of the penalty to how fast you can advance. But I did need to restart an island because the tile I chose had no minerals for offensive weapons which meant I couldn't ever attack. Neither did the only accessible one next to me. Bit annoying.
I've found that so long as you can work out which weapon will be a game winner, just focus on getting that and defend if necessary. My strats are pretty weak though.
