Finite resources or not?

But in my current game, I don't see that as an AI defect.

See, I have. It was hard to build up enough of a fleet to take a planet from the AI. It kept beating me back. When I finally could however, I saw it had nothing left. I took over all the AI's and saw they were broke. And this was on high AI bonus. Most people have seen the same. Results are summarized here: Wiki

Bottom line, it only seems like a challange, after a small amount of planning, it's only a slighty different game.

If you want a challange, play "can only colonize owm planet type/atmospheres" and hand pick TDM-Modpack races. My favorite:"Romulans, Klingons, Praetorian, Sergetti" set them all to rock/oxy except for Sergetti, and I play terrans. Give them High bonus. I still can't win on that. Ohh think I'll try again this morning. See you all in a couple of days. Heh
