Question about Gold AI

[Madmarlin]

I have the original, and was wondering if the gold Version was worth purchasing to play against a better AI? Should I pay for a better AI or just download some mods for the original?

Thanks

I'll let you know my thoughts:-

Purchase Gold if you wish to play more humans on PBW.
I missed out on the tournament because I only have 1.49

If you only have 1.49, quickly sign up for the 'Force of Alliance' Game on PBW and that will quickly let you know how good you are. If you lose, never mind, the Empire was a lose to begin with.

The AI is very similar, make sure you are playing the TDM AI however. Someone else will let you know the other benefits of Gold, like Drones, etc.

The standard AI in Gold also makes a few better decisions. The TDM Gold AI can really cause you trouble especially if you encounter them early and they have a little bonus. Every once in a while, you'd be suprised by something they'll do.

The AI in Gold is much better than in Classic SE4.

But major point of Gold is not just better AI - there are many more fixtures that make such mods as Proportions, Derek' mod, several "mount mods" possible.

Thank you all for your opinions. I think I will GO FOR THE GOLD!!! I know the AI wont be the greatest thing invented since sliced bread, but if it is better then it is worth it. And yes, all the other bennies are good too.

Thank you all for your help and maybe someday I'll see you in a PBW (which of course I still dont know what the W stands for... wire maybe??)
