Mephisto:
Heh, if the AI would mass ANYTHING and throw it at the enemy it would be a huge improvement!
I think that would be my number one complaint at this time...the lack of AI 'aggression'. I can get it to be as hostile as I want it to be and I can usually make it build a sizable amount of competent hardware at this point too. But the lack of the AI's ability to USE that hardware is the stumbling block.
My efforts at modding and altering are on hold until a significant patch that allows the AI to DO something with what it has comes along. I will continue to futz about with it in Hotseat play, but I see no point in continuing against solely AI players unless/until they are actually PLAYING the game.
Here's hoping that we see some nastiness from the AI this coming week.
