Default Re: Realism of the MegaEvil Emp...

I think for it to be realistic the Ai empires would have to cease hostilities amongst themselves and all declare a united war against the MEE. That would have a bit of a realistic feel to it, as well as being a bit nasty to defend against.

Short of a coalition like that though, it does not make sense for these little podunk kings to be smacking my face while I am driving my 40 ship fleet through their little system to get to my mortal enemy on the other side.

If the roles were reversed I would be keeping my head down and hoping not to be noticed.



More than that, there needs to be some sort of transition phase. Right now, you hit that threshold and suddenly all the empires declare war on you. Shouldn't there be a gradual increase of tension and some WARNINGS about what is bothering them before they all suddenly attack? This would make them seem more like "AIs" and not just mechanical decision trees. Ok, that's what they are and the term "AI" is a misnomer... but we want a believable SIMULATION of an AI, right?
