Someone please explain this to me? I'm checking out the AIs in a TDM game I'm playing (I'm 5th).
The Cue-Cappa are bottled in by the Colonials, and have 64k research points per turn. The problem is they haven't DONE anything with all that research- they're on Ship 3, PD 3, Missile 3, Warheads 2, Combat Support 1, Psysic 1, Physics 1, Mil Sci 1. Total tech levels: 32. The problem here is I have *41k* research and 59 tech levels. Not all light stuff- Drones, Ship Construction, most of the theoreticals. Even with trade I'm behind the Cue-Cappa in research; why do they have so few techs?
EDIT: removed comment. The score window doesn't take into account AI bonuses..doesn't account for the Cue-Cappa situation though.
Side track: this has been a nasty little game so far- the Xi'Chung and the Abbidon have gotten wacked already, and I had nothing to do with it.
I pop into the Xi'Chung home system with my laborously-constructed fleet, and I get two Messages.
"First Contact: Toron Condfederation."
"The Xi'Chung have been destroyed."
Geez.
