Default Questions about AI difficulty...

The game year is 2405.1. Me, the Kushan Kiithid, and my friend, the Vasudan Empire, are playing a hotseat game in a large mid-life galaxy. There are 18 AI players, and I enabled TEAM MODE. I.E. all 18 computers will ONLY ATTACK US!

I'm using Jubala's tweaks, and my friend has a terrible feeling about our futures.. Already an AI somewhere else in the galaxy has become a serious "mega evil race", Surpassing my score without any fleet engagements (It has 16 bases!!!).

As it stands, both I and the Vasudans are fighting two-front wars which we seem to be in control of. We have tabs on 4 of the AIs, but no data on the other 14 (other than the scores). The races are all maxed out point-wise and most are Psychotic demeanors.

Now, I realise that the AI is fairly stupid.. but will 18 stupid AIs be enough to wipe the floor with us? (We are not using mines, but we are using Sats)

(I really hope they do kill us.)

Sorry, cannot help you. I stopped playing this incomplete game early on, waiting for a patch. The quote was necessary, however. I am sure you can name the movie, or at least the character.

I have only used those tweaks in small quadrants where the AI's do fight eachother. But the fact that another AI has become mega evil and they don't fight doesn't sound too good for your future.
