[Lord Felix]

I've complained about the AI being stupid and threatened to switch to another game. But I took another look Last night, and am pleased to report I got absolutely destroyed by the Modpack 1.60 Sergetti Fishheads. High difficulty, low bonus,restricted to colonizing one's own kind of planet,small map, all warp points not connected. Started in 3-connected-sectors area of map. Praetorians right next door glassed my first two colonies on about turn 6. Big war with them. Finally destroyed them. Had what I thought was fairly hefty fleet, 30 ships headed by four cruisers. Two turns after I colonized the Last of 10 planets in my 3 sectors, I got the dreaded message: Warp point opened--in my home sector. There followed this turn sequence: (1) warp point opens, (2) Sergetti fleet (50 ships lead by about 18 battle cruisers) enters my home sector, and insults me, (3) they declare war and move ships near all my home planets, (4) they incinerate all my home planets and destroy my entire fleet. Jeez. This was after they'd already wiped out the Earth Alliance (expert level). Revenge tonight!
