Well the good news is the AI has sure improved a lot in the Last two patches. I am glad I didn't give up on the game.
The bad news is it still much harder to get a challenging game than with MOO2.


I'd like to hear suggestions on how to make a more challenging game. I am currently using
medium or high number of computer players,
max AI, medium computer bonus. Everything else is the default. I have installed Modpack 1.60.

Specific questions: Game setup
1. Should I hand select certain AI races?
2. Will eliminating neutral empires help?
3. Some AI races haven't used any racial points how come?

I like to use tactical combat, but it seems the computer is hopeless against missile attacks. Any suggestions other than not using missile ships?
