I agree, Seawolf.

I think some people are beating up the AI without trying some of the harder settings in the game setups. Apply the current patches, give the AI all the bonuses and set up small galaxies. It can be difficult!!!

I know some of you are already groaning about how the AI is still too easy. Some of us don't have all that tactical 'genius' at our command and like to win once in a while.

OK, I'm ready for the flames now....
