Re: BORG AI lacking punch
Quote:
Am rather surprised at your experience. The Borg are normally in the top 5 AI in my games (which consist entirely of mod-pack AI).
Do you have any specific observations of why they performed badly?

So I am. With the tech they have, they should be murderous.
I took the emp 5000 file and adapted it, lowering ground combat/Intel/Political savy to enhance other competences.
What I saw is a mass of cruiser/battle cruiser mounting weapons/shields/armor and a colony tech (!!) getting slaughtered by the Rage's warship. Putting a colony tech o such warship is quite a waste, I think it has been their downfall. Their cost to colonize was huge, and their warship just diseapeared when they claimed a planet. Plus, launching such a colony ship to get a single moon it not economy sensitive....
Even if the rage AI had the same colonization problem, versus the well thought Rage warship, the borg were no match ( ). Maybe they could get specialized warship, and specialized colonization ships.
No pun intended, I like the race and just try to help getting it better.
I forget to write : expansion rate was good, but they wasted time colonising moons with their very heavy ships. The rage should have had the same problems, but certainly their colony ships were easily produced.
