Rollo, following observations in friends 7 games and my on going lst SP game ( all were SP games)
Sonne
1. appears their ability to build ships is limited. the speed in which they build appears somewhat slower the the rest example. human/Ai players build DN in 6 turns, takes Sonne 12, gives human player advantage in numbers. Appears their build cycles are almost twice as long as the other AI's and human player
2. Ship design little weak, they use almost all psy weapons, could use some other big weapons to help out
3. research ability slower then rest. Human/other Ai's have BB's & Dn's, Sonne had CA's
4. Don't appear to build Super DN's, Monitors and super monitors (havn't seen them in the 8 games played so far
Cuppa
1. seem weaker then in 1.84 original, not as fiesty or as strong. appear weaker and weaker in ship production as well, they don't build their ships in the quantities of 1.84. nor are they as strong
Flora
1. weak in intel especialy defensive, easy to steal against
General
Don't see the Ai building Super DN's, monitors or super Monitors, so far very rare if at all, IE' in my Sp game, the Ai"s are using mostly BB's no Dn's etc, as their later on basic warship, gives human player huge advantage, In my game I can see most of the map, however I have only seen l super DN among the 6 races, all the ships/fleets made up of BB's as their big gun ship.
Would like to see AI's use different make ups on their ships, IE different types of BB's some with one kind of weapons, another BB with other types thrown in. (same with all ship designs)
Please these are only my observations, IT's a great mod and I love playing it especially with all the new stuff, this is not in any way shape or form knocking the mod, only observations so far and I could be wrong, (it wouldn't be the lst time
) please don't take my observations in any wrong way... Myself and Mac's trouble makers all really enjoy the game
just some ideas Mac
