"How dumb is your AI?" Heck, How DUMB R U!

As long as you can turn off the confirmations in options, like the ones that are already implemented. I wish I could do that in Windows.

Maybe it would be possible to Mod our own “Idiot” files?
I would love to read a collection of those.

Cap'n Q, "like the ones in windows". You mean "OK" when it is not ok.

I've posted this one before, but it's worth posting again:

I was playing against the AI, (high difficulty and bonus) and after a couple of difficult fights, I was clearly winning the game. (first position, not finding any resistance) So I thought: "lets make this game more interesting"

So I offered the weakest AI player a trade it couldn't refuse: I was willing to trade my whole empire (ships planets everything) in exchange for two random planets. The Idea was to rebuild my empire from those two worlds.

The AI send a message back: " Sure we accept, you get these two worlds (AI specified two worlds) we get your empire" I accept, and am horified when I discover that the two worlds the AI traded me contained no population, (plagued) And thus, with no population, and no production, I had lost the game.

(needless to say I also made the mistake of not saving the game, so there was no way back either)

If this doesn't win me the "most stupid SE4 player award" than I give up..

Simple:

After an important turn:

RCE strikes.

trys to revert back when I find out I haven't set an Autosave setting.

Needless to say, my sphearworld will never be finished.

[Skulky]

I always set autosave to every 2 turns or every one for that very reason. also, slightly OT, wouldn't it be nice to get a save in the middle of your turn for PBW games? or the ability to open .plr files and continue them. Cuase when you have to commit 30-45 mins at a stretch in the final levels or when you're starting a replacement i wish i could break it up, or at least pause it so i can go to do some more work without minimizing and letting windows crash again.

No, I mean the "Do you really want to do that?" ones, specifically the "Do you really want to delete these files?" I really doubt I'm ever going to accidentally hold down the shift key while clicking the mouse.

Thanks y'all. I feel better about myself already
