Re: AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent
 

JLS with cultures go with most of PvK culture mod that works for AIC, and have the se4 Cultures or even better v3.02 Cultures as a alternate and ditch the Populace Cultures http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Imo

I've downloaded quite a few mods lately, so it's hard to keep track of what mod does what.

Very confusing for rush neads http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent
 

I THINK
JLS tryed to keep the ship KT down with Starliners and Colony ships to keep the overall points down for non-combat ship builds.

This helps the AI be more in tuned with diplomacy or something. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

The large Colonizer moduale is for Large Transports and larger ships for the players to devise there own strategy with.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Exactly ! Balancing player score was the prime reason for the seemingly counterintuative designs for colony ships and starliners. JLS obviously hoped we will read READ.ME before complaing. How wrong he was http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Agreed, 99 was just an example however.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Agreed, I am just going to have the se4 default Cultures as the alternative to PvKs Culture Mod.

As with v3.02 and now with v4.11 most Culture values will be based on se4 Characteristic points or double points with an combined offensive and defensive value like combat, with the players feed back on the strengths and weakness of the Cultures and how the AI is perceived to be balanced in the end. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Reference
>Value Point Structure towards v4.11<
Production := 7
Research := 5
Intelligence := 2
Trade := 2
Space Combat := 10
Ground Combat := 2
Happiness := 3
Maintenance := 7
SY Rate := 3
Repair := 1

Re: AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">JLS I am going to combine Adamant and maybe other MODS with AIC so there AI will be more like AIC in:
Plagues
Economics
Planetary Bombardment
Finite Economics
Planet Capture
Planet defense
Tactical Fighters
Minefields
Multi-player handicapping
Improved event frequency
AIC Diplomacy

Is this ok with you and would you give me a hand with this?
