That is probably the reason that they have dropped in score - combat losses (and Rage or Toron are most likely responsible for it ).

Well it certainly isn't me.

I started another game at home Last night. (The game I have been talking about is on my machine at work) This time I started out next to the Norak.

THEY ARE EVEN WORSE!!!!!

(I'm gonna have to stop playing on medium bonus. )

This was the first time I actually started and lost a game in one setting. Those bastard Norak wouldn't let me do anything! And they didn't ignore me like the sergetti in my other game.

I manged to drag it out by playing my battles in tactical and using ships with sattelite bays to drop sats as they retreated. I think by doing that I manged to hang on an extra 2 years.

About turn 50 after beating me down to just my home planet, they popped into my home system with a fleet of 14 ships with CSM III and PDC. At that point I figured it was no use so I surrenderd to my ally the colonials and went to bed.

Very impressive work modpack guys and Aaron.

I used to bet the snot out of the AI even on medium bonus.

Medium bonus?!

Well, I used to. So either I'm not that good anymore either or the Ai is better.

I'm still kind of new to SE IV; if I download the modpack, is there anything I have to do to make it work right? I seem to recall reading something about you have to manually pick the race for the AI to work?

The TDM ModPack includes multiple EMP files for several races. They are named similar to Xi'Chung 2000, Xi'Chung 3000 and Xi'Chung 5000. It is necessary to use these EMP files if you want to play against these races. These EMP files set some of your attributes below 100% in order to apply the points to other attributes. The current Version of the game does not support this in the text data files. I've heard this will be fixed in the next patch.

It sounds like these AIs are getting way ahead of us puny humans.

I suggest getting ship capture, and stealing some of those fancy missiles, shields, PPBs and PDC!

Just have one capture ship in each fleet, and every battle you happen to win, leave one ship to be captured. That helps most when you're much smaller than the enemy, cause you can then spend more facility space on mineral mines

Help! Someone forgot to tell the Xi'Chung that we're *NOT* using mines in this game. Just lost 25 cruisers and battlecruisers to his mine field. Uh, I didn't want those ships anyways!
