Is anyone at SG or MM working on the AI scripts? It doesn't seem like it except in the most cursory way.

My frustration is that you don't seem to realize how badly broken this is. The game is sitting on my shelf until you produce a patch with some races that work as well as Mephesto's. I have a feeling that MM is sneaking new features in instead of cleaning this up. (Like TCP/IP...)

It's been over a month since this game shipped, and the same stupid typos are still there in these scripts, to the point where some third party can come in and create a much better computer player then you have. Does that seem right to you?

I'm glad others are enjoying SEIV as is, but I've played about 10 different "conquor the galaxy" games in the past 10 years (including SE III), and unless one has AI that acts semi-resonably it's not worth playing. (For me.)
