AI Races Expand Too Slowly.

Marty Ward · #1 May 28th, 2001, 04:48 AM

In a high tech game the AI can build some nasty Weapons Platforms, especially with the range increase mods. Neutrals build Large WP with 2 heavy WMG on each, range 17 damage 420. Try attacking a planet with 6+ of these, you WILL take some damage closing on with the planet. The Dev mod also increases the range of the Satellites. Between WP and Sats, attacking planets is no piece of cake anymore.
It would be nice if every so many turns the AI checked to see if their WP were in need of replacement with better ones. Maybe these units should be given the ability to upgrade like ships. It would certainly help the AI's defense ability.

Bump.
Have the AI for the newest TDM been modified to increase their expansion rate as requested here ?

Yes, at least my races.

While working on my Taera race, i made them to expand quickly, and infact they do.
Even though using the rare Ice planets, and even rarer atmosphere Oxygen, my Taerans expand quickly. Quicker than most races, as i've seen.
You might want to try them.

Not the best enemy, but still.

The Rage should be back to rapid expansion again. Hopefully, I have found a balance that doesn't leave them too vulnerable early in small quadrant games. We shall see....
