Most Challenging Races - Entry

[Kadste]

I would like to compile a list of the top 10 most challenging races.

Rules: Version 1.41 only, stock races or modded races allowed, send in your picks, max ten per person. Remember it is for the most challenging, not the prettiest.

Format:

Pick Race mod

1 Phong none
2 Darlok TDM 1.80

I will compile the results and post them in a new thread.

With so many really good races available, I have lost track of some of them. I also think it would be great to get your opinion.

Hope you will participate

I am surprised you didn't include Daynarr's Xi'Chung Expert. I always got a good run for my money when I played against them.

raynor,

So vote for them. And others.

Raynor: because the limit was 10 AIs!
I always considered all the TDM AI's as challenging.

Most challenging races: (no particular order....well mostly that is....)

1. Aquiliaen (sp?), damn hard to beat!
2. Zorians, very hard early in game, esp if not a major pdc player or modded so missiles/ftr's are harder.
3. Orks!, fun speech file too!
4. TDM Xi'Chung, good, but dedicated pdc ships will tip the scales, though their fleet sizes are incredible!
5. Vaxin, another favorite!
6. The Rage! (the AI that started it all!, sort of, first really tough AI I played, changed my style completely! ..)
7. Addisian, current Version on Usy (diff race picture one, )
8. Q's modded Phong/QueKappa
9. Angelican Regency (sp?), one of my new Favorites, include it in every test game recently for my EEEvil and other AI's I am working on...
10. Ammon'Krie (normal, stock se4), when they get going with Grav Hellbores they can be downright tough!!!

Honorable Mention:, well, I can't really vote for this one as it is my own AI , but the Starwolf AI I am working on for Atrocities is regularly kicking my butt right now....
