How Dumb Is Your Game AI?

My game AI is so dumb, it sent 6+ colony ships through a defended warp point over multiple turns.

My game AI is so dumb, it maintains a war with me(started by another AI's intel) despite having never encountered me and having a brotherly disposition towards me.

My game AI is so dumb, it keeps sending Drones equipped with Anti-Planet Warheads against my StarBASE defended warp point and rams into my base and causes NO damage what-so-ever.

It keeps doing this turn after turn... Usually they lose about 10 drones per turn thanks to their stupidness. Makes me think I'm playing against a 2 year old. But I think the 2 year old would be more of a challange. LMAO!

i suddenly feel so used.

Actually, it doesn't load them. This happens when the AI builds units on a planet that has no cargo left and a ship with cargo is in orbit. All "non-fitting" units will go into the orbiting ship. You can find many interesting things in ships with cargo after some time...

It's even worse than that, as I discovered recently. I built a ringworld, and then left the shipyard bases in place to build weapon platforms and fighters while the ringworld yard built facilities. Well, one turn I had a population transport end it's movement over the ringworld, so I offloaded the population & gave it orders to move on the next turn. Well, the next turn it moved away WITH A FULL LOAD OF WEAPON PLATFORMS!!!

Apparently, the default cargo transfer (at least for base space yards) is to load units onto ship-based cargo rather than planet-based cargo. So I had to send my population transport back to the ringworld to put the weapon platforms where they belonged.
