Wel the AI isn't as bad as everyone ( who Posts on this Boards anyway ) thinks

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....

Hurm,


Just was wondering what the correlation of people saying the AI is "easy" to the people who modify the text files..

Previous to this patch, I have been playing in a 254 system galaxy with all the planets set at huge with as many as 12 per system...makes for a lot of powerful races. I created 8 5000 point races and along with the computer generated ones, I have 20 players in the game. I also set high bonus and high difficulty. Also I created a couple more ships per race, one as a science ship and the other bigger than a dreadnought that I call a battlestar (for lack of a better name) both of these all the races use extensively. So far out of 20 players I have never got above 10th place (even after re-playing it many times). Some races focus on production, some on huge fleets, others on massive intell projects...it has been extremely tough to keep up even using mines and such. I find that if the AI wants a system, they go to no end to get it...even busting through my minefields...and I have seen races declare war on me for not responding to their diplomatic Messages. I dont know about everyone else, but fighting several of these races at once has been extremely difficult. I consider this game with all its editing capabilities and setup options far superior to any of the 4X games in the past. Not since the original MOO have I spent so much time with a space game.
