But you never know what may be lurking in the other cluster so BE PREPARED. I do not open warp points over my Home World.

I like playing Low Bonus in all games but not connected, the AI especially the Science, Engineering and Merchant Races that get Stellar about or sooner then me and then it becomes very interesting on keeping things in check,. This would be up to you if you want a relaxing game if so definitely go with NO AI bonus. Other wise the AI does get dang right rude, I noticed that you and I like to curse at the monitor so pucker up I did when I played the AI with a Low bonus in a no warp game.

In the PBW game Adamant 0006, for instance, FQM is combined with Proportions mod, with the result that human players get practically infinite resources as long as they can build and maintain remote mining bases. The result is enormous fleets, and players complaining about what a chore it is to enter orders for each turn. AI bonus is High, but without remote mining, they are dwarfed. In the Version of FQM used for that game, even the humans have a hard time navigating some of the systems with all the damaging sector types. I imagine the AI would tend to get rather stuck in them.

Re: AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent
Adamant 006 uses a really old Version of FQM. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Newer Versions have much fewer damaging WPs, which are replaced by those with other random abilities (which present no navigation hazards). Of course, there are still just as many asteroids, but that can be taken care of. Dropping asteroid values down a bunch would eliminate the remote mining bonus to the human player(s), as would eliminating most asteroids.

Research Stellar Manipulation ASAP but also research some weapons, fighters and at least Frigates if not Destroyer to PRE defend that NEW warp hole. Mines may be of some value, since it should be around the Sixth to fourteenth year you open your first warp (Depending how Defensive, Offensive or Infrastructure investments in the style of play you may be... If playing a Cluster style Map chances are you having the entire cluster to your self so you should not have to over do defense too much. GLV is correct; it is best not to open early WARPS over your HW as it may facilitate the AIs invasion. Consider a scrub planet with a few Military Barracks for the cargo space, then pack on the defenses and Open your Warps there http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif With a Large and to some degree a Medium Cluster Style Map, you should be able to open most if not ALL Systems in your Cluster from Stellar Manipulation (1) certainly SM 2. However, you will need SM 3 to get to the next Cluster and this is really when you have to be prepared, after all it may be your best friend the evil HIVE in the next Cluster http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif NOTE AI will have Inter Cluster Warp on average; in a AI no Bonus game (AFAIR): Science and Engineering races about 8 to 16 Years. Merchant Races about 15 to 20 Years. Other Races depend on their Demeanor, the more violant the race the latter it will warp http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Some Race are lethargic by nature and may warp when they feel like it (Abbidon for one) Xenophobic and Neutrals do not open warps at all. The AI is set up to Warp its Home Cluster First and then it will warp to other surrounding clusters much Later, except the Eee and some Engineering race that MAY just Bump the Stellar Techs back to back and warp out of there Home Clusters early and that may open your game right up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif In addition, those serine Engineering races we like to pick on in the Standard games, you just may notice the MR HIDE in them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif in a NO-WARP GAME, so be on your guard. Also please note for Xenos; though more in the way of Infrastructure. However, the Violent races, these races prefer Big Weapons and Hugh Attack Ships over the fancy Science Stellar stuff, so you just may open warps to Pandora’s Box all the way back to your Home System http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif no borg out there but there sure is other races just as mean. Therefore, when going to a new Cluster you may consider having a pre Warp Hole Defensive Base Built to at least attempt to block the AI from rushing your rear Colonies with there fuel thirsty fleets. 100 mix of level I Sat- missiles and Level two Sats with good beam weapons along with great sensors and a few Pure PD sats, with this and a Carrier Fleet ready and reposition able; before entering each System in that new Cluster. === So when QBrigid and GLV say the AI gets Frisky if not darn out and out rude; with a low AI bonus game as opposed to NONE, this is why (((TIME))) you will have little to prepair in a low bonus game and priorities will get confused. So it is recommended all play there first few NO-WARP games with the default of NONE for AI Bonus. [ September 04, 2003, 22:58: Message edited by: JLS ] |

I am not sure any more, since Fyron obviously has seen high/catastrophic events on HPs. This is what I recall: PvK's proportions had a cultural trait "cursed" which should increase the chance for bad events. I performed some tests with this, and we observed that any minus or plus in the cultural settings about events have been effectles. The same has been done for the faith shrine and different good/bad settings - it was absolutely effectless. PvK has communicated the test results with Aaron, and a few weeks later we got a bugfix (which I can not find in the history at the moment, somewhen about gold patch 1 or 2). The findings on top have been side results of the tests, but it could be most likely that Aaron has changed more than just the event chance bug. So I think this should be tested again. I have used a modded event file without real effects, just the severity popped up in the news window, so I was able to do my stats for every event severity. It could be possible that "events without real effects" also have a different behaviour than usual events, so it will not be an easy task which can be performed in a couple of minutes. |
Re: AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent
I certainly remember that Fate Shrine' reduction of events chance has been asserted to be fixed in 1.84. It would also fix lucky/cursed trait, I think.
I can also confirm HW rebellion can happen - i observed it few times. Thanks God, to AI, not me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif . I also saw HW system destruction. But indeed, i never saw HW plague or planet destruction yet. |

Re: AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent
JLS, The prob with the mine sweepers is back, Had teh Eee go into a 100 ct mine field cleared all 100 so I took there emp to look and no sweepers in the fleet, will send when I get back to it.
I may just restart another http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif |
Re: AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent
Before you restart your game, Mottlee.
The way I understand the AI in AIC, it does not need just mine sweepers to clear a minefield. Early in the game the AI takes high losses to mines. As the game turns pass the AI will research larger ships, the larger the ship when it is combined in a fleet the easer it is for it to clear the minefields, CVs have a extra bonus in clearing mines as well in AIC http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif [ September 05, 2003, 20:54: Message edited by: QBrigid ] |

What QB posted is basically right on, in regards to AI Minesweeping.
In addition, with AI Campaign the larger the fleet, the less likely the AI will desire a minesweeper to be part of the composition for escort. About, what turn where you in when the AI blew thru your Minefield. Do you recall the largest ships, was it made-up with any CVs and how large was the fleet?

Re: AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent
posted June 09, 2003
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FYI for new AIC players. Regarding Minefields Yes, most AI Players will blow thru a 100 Minefield with a large fleet …. About when the AI Player starts fleeting Light Cruisers especially Carriers, you can expect the AI to clear Minefields 100%, when fleeted with a CV and escorts vessels . Just like, you would expect a good and capable Human Player opponent would. That is not to say, the AI will not make mistakes or loose many a good ship; Scouting, or a few Capital ships returning to or from a yard or refuel base (as a Human player may) === Please keep this in mind; the higher the Computer Bonus the faster the AI will fleet Cruisers and Carriers. When this happens the less effective your minefields will become. ============================ EDIT: Expected AI Minesweeping resuts when fleeted for AIC: v4.00. 100+ Scouts (will blow thru a 100 Minefield) 46+ Escorts 46+ Frigates DD 20 CL 10 CA 4+ BC 3 BB 2+ DN 2 BS 1 Hvy BS 1 --- CVL 2+ CV 1+ Hvy CV 1 ====================== Basicly 10 AI Destroyers and 6 AI Light Cruisers will clear 100 mines without with out a minesweeper. This will be about a 50% decrease on CL and below. and 20% to 33% decrease for Cruiser and above. ====================== Please note in AIC v4.0 > The Human Players will now have the ability to destroy mines with Fighter Carriers. In addition, for all Human Players: Minefields will have NO effect on any BaseShip, Heavy BaseShip or Heavy Carrier class vessel. Scaled to the respective ships displacements; Dreadnoughts, Battleships, and Battle Cruisers will require MORE mines to damage or destroy them.

Oleg, if you could play your next game, to include the Events v4.b1 and play in standard mode.
