Does the AI use intel very well?

[rdouglass]

I definitely don't think the Ai uses intel very well (just like many other areas). I don't think that the AI altering the orders of one of my transports or colony ships for 1 turn hurts me a bit, large or small. I've never even had a Crew Insurrection against me. However, if the AI WAS intelling PPP's or Crew Insurrection, I definitely would be spending a much larger portion of my intel points towards Counter Intel.

Unfortunately, the AI does not... If it did, there would be far more discussions about the importance of Intel. Now as it stands, many people feel Intel is a waste.

Raynor, are you using any specific Mods, 'cause I'd love to get into a heavy Intel Battle with an AI... Yes, as it stands now, I CAN bring down any AI I've been up against with Intel operations after about 100 turns. Of course, I'm usually producing 250 - 300,000 Intel points....
