All My Friends

[KillerManJaro]

I'm playing a game where I'd run into three neutral and six "normal" AI players. I had good relations with them all, they were all Allied with me to the point of Trade and Research or better; all neutral were Partners as were three of the Normals, all of whom were Brotherly.

According to the Treaty Grid, I had the only treaties in the galaxy. Borders showed three sets of conflicts, only one involving me, a race with whom I had a Military Alliance. I had even carefully monitored Borders, carefully pulling back claims as one of my Brothers expanded into space I had claimed but not occupied.

Then, in a span of two turns, for reasons I cannot discern, I was at war with them all. Every race, with little or no contact between them, turn against me within two turns.

What happened??????

Where you larger than the other empires?

[LintMan]

There's a setting in Settings.txt called "AI Uses Mega Evil Empire" that when True (the default) basically causes all the AIs to turn nasty on a player when he reaches a certain score. I think the score limit is at 500K or higher.

It's there to make the game tougher, but you can turn it off if you don't like it.

You could probably also edit the text files to slow down the anger buildup.

Lint,

Not a certain score but when a player's points exceeds the other AI players points by a certain amount. And this option can be shutoff. FYI MM is fixing this as we speak.

"And this option can be shutoff. FYI MM is fixing this as we speak."

Seawolf- If he grew to 150% larger (score-wise) of the next best empire then he just triggered the Mega evil AI. MM isn't fixing this as there is nothing wrong with it. MM was fixing a 1.05 bug that led empires to get upset at you as soon as you meet them. i think you are confusing the two.
