Re: Has Anyone Ever Lost to the AI Before?
Yeah it's funny after fighting them, even in games where there are no psychic races I have it engraved on my soul to BUILD IN MASTER COMPUTERS lol, I still have crew because I've read about what happens to all MC fleets when someone employs virus warfare.
Someone once joked that it was much like what happened to the Colonial fleet in the NeoBSG mini-series lol

Re: Has Anyone Ever Lost to the AI Before?
I only play TDM mod pack AI with the highest bonus'. Yes, I've lost. I've had games where those *bleep* Space Vikings were sending wave after wave of fleets to overwhelm my minefields. Once the minefields were gone, my empire fell quickly.... Lost at one game or another to most TDM mod pack AI, but I'd say the Space Vikings are the nastiest...
I recommend the highest AI bonus' for a challenging game.

Re: Has Anyone Ever Lost to the AI Before?
I'm getting a run for my money in a current game against 5 AIs:
Stock SEIV gold + TDM Modpack
2000 points
I took no racial tech areas (crystalline, religious, etc.)
Team play
Expensive tech
Low AI bonus
No mine tech
AIs are 5 of the top 6 from AI Deathmatch 3
My Intel is at minimum
No Ruins
Strategic combat
I attempt no diplomacy beyond "Surrender, creeps!"
It takes some gymnastics, but I think it's possible to get a good game against the AIs.

Re: Has Anyone Ever Lost to the AI Before?
I lost to the AI a lot when learning to play. If I ran into the Terrans or Sergetti within 10 or 15 turns of start, on a stock Gold game, I lost.

Re: Has Anyone Ever Lost to the AI Before?
I have never beat the AI does that count as loosing?
..and I have never won against 'real players' either, does that count as loosing?
I can win if I play with no computer players or neutral players. At the start of those games it says "You Win, do you want to continue?" hmmm, does that count as a win?
Yes I AM that bad. 
Cheers!  |

Re: Has Anyone Ever Lost to the AI Before?
Sure, I lost to the AI in the beginning. I lost several games of SE III while trying to figure out what the heck was going on. I also lost to the Jraenar the first time I encountered them. It was very early in the game, and as PvK said above, some races can be pretty nasty when they have an early advantage and show up nearby.
This is something human players also like to do to newbies, and even not-so-newbies.
