Re: Any "newer" players out there want to play "Noobz in space"
The AI sends Messages normally. It does not fake them and look like a different empire. Unless, of course, they use the Comm Mimic intelligence project, in which case there is only one possible message sent out, so you can usually tell what happened. But it takes quite a while for that to happen...
This is not related to AI empires at all: If you miss a turn, the AI will take over for that turn. It often declares some wars on people. You can prevent this by going into the Ministers section of the Empire Status screen (crown icon) and scroll all the way to the bottom. There is a setting something like "AI should not make changes to the empire during a simultaneous movement game." Enable this, and the AI will do nothing if you miss a turn. It is a very good idea to make a habit of enabling this on turn one of every PBW game. Trust me, it is no fun having the AI screw everything up. Ship designs, fleet formations, construction, everything. Ugh.
