Same would apply to the other stages (although Trival and Civilization would be quite boring to continue after you're done with all other tribes/nations). I don't think you can gain more DNA and grow into a bigger cell as such, though. Cell Stage: You can go on infinitely, but can't earn any more DNA. Creature Stage: You can go on infinitely without any cons. Tribal and Civ Stage: Tribal is useless and Civ can be used to max out your cities, but that's it.

And yes, I like Cell Stage too... if it was longer.
