Computer Player Bonus
 

Does anyone know how the numbers work with the computer player bonuses?

I have found that high, really is high and that by turn 20 my DUC2 ship is no match for a fleet of 20 enemy ships with Prop6, Shield3, APB10.(Ok, I may be blowing this a bit out of proportion, but you know what I mean.)

Medium seems a bit more balanced, and easy to catch up to with boarding party ships, but still they progress really fast.

Low I have found my self as the evil empire by turn 40.

Any opinions and wisdom? Thanks.

for production/research/intel:
low X2, med X3, high X5
for construction:
low X1.5, med X2(?), high X3(?)

Low bonus is a 2x bonus. Medium is 3x bonus. And High is 5x bonus.

compare "Low bonus is a 2x bonus" with "low X2"

Yes, And how long doesn't it take to write :
"--------------------

"They were armed. With guns," said Omari.
"Canadians. With guns. And a warship. What is this world coming to?"
"Your mother was a hampster, and your father smelt of elderberries."
The dreaded derelict dwelling two ton devil bunny!"

Every time you post.

I know it takes a lot of time to write my sig everytime, I'm getting a bit tired at it but as everyone else persists in writing their sigs I'll continue to write:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That could be my problem. Too bad these forums don't have an automated system where you can put your sig into a text area and it will post it to your message everytime you reply to something. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Oleg: I did type too many. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I shall learn from my mistake.

oh yes, then you could just click on update profile and not have to type a lot for every single post.

oh and did you hear about the "reply" button? that's right, you don't have to copy all the Posts in a thread into a huge notepad file, then create a new thread with all that junk plus your reply - you just hit the "reply" button and the server magically adds your post to the thread! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's not funny. I occasionally have to do all that (except for the new thread part). I often finding myself shift-clicking on "Post Reply" because I can't remember things in more than one post. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif Guess it's early Alzheimer's or something.
