Like half the people here have NEVER been beat by the AI???

riiiiiiiiiggggggggghhhhhhtttt

what level do you all play on? Warm mushy soup level?

I only play on highest difficulty, highest bonus. That setting can be a challenge, especially if you start the game with a couple of paranoid AI races nearby...

Default Re: Have you ever been beat by the AI?

I used to play high difficulty, high bonus, large galaxy, medium or high number of AIs. I took 1st place by no later than turn 10 (usually on turn 1, but not every time). I never played the AI on any setting lower than high bonus and difficulty. I never finished a game against them, because it always ended up with me owning 50% or more of the galaxy and mopping up all the AIs at once. It was boring. Now, I just play humans.

I'm not affraid to say that have lost a lot with this settings: 5 TDM AI's + small galaxy + High AI + High Bonus + AI Team.

Usually never waited to play until lose the Last planet... and started a new game...

Large galaxy, 19 TDM AIs, high bonus, high difficulty.

Ended up occupying 3 systems in the middle of the galaxy. Surrounded by Rage, Aquilieans, and the Klingons. Held two of the three at bay...never made it to the end of that game, but I conceed defeat.

That's right man, NEVER been beat by the AI. But I might here soon, depends on if I try the Team Mode thing out. That'll make it tougher.

Hmm, I'm going to try TDM races in my next game with a Large galaxy, probably medium or high number of AI's, high difficulty, high bonus, might try team mode. We'll see how this goes.
