Re: In Review: Best Fleet Strategy
Not to mention one small mine with 2 level 1 warheads will take out a whole one of your escorts. Anybody facing you would throw up a few mines at every planet, a few more on warp points.
And while you mass your escorts and launch massive suicide raids against the minefields, I'd be going around methodically capturing your planets since you took all your points out of that "useless" strength characteristic.
Your strategy might work well against an AI, but it's very easily countered by a human player.

Re: In Review: Best Fleet Strategy
And don't forget that those 3 movement (with only 2 in combat) ships will be easily out-manuevered. If your opponent orders his ships to use the maximum range strategy, your ships won't get to fire during half of the rounds.

Re: In Review: Best Fleet Strategy
GUTB:
Allow me to confirm,
Against AI, sure, any human with just about any strategy will win. Against a human?
Let me ask one quesiton, did you ever wonder why there are no bipedal robots in the real world today? The ansewer is that the proccessing power and algorythm required to do this exceeds any "practical" use.
The processing power of the human brain exceeds any AI anyone could write for less than several milllion? maybe billion dollars. MM is only charging $40 dollars.
EDIT: (Pulling the sting from my original post)
This example is ment as a way to explain why strategys that defeat an AI every time, will not win against a human.
