Default Re: Getting a fight out of the AI

Jubala:

Haven´t used very much your files but until now it seems that it´s the AI who's getting a fight of me and if they wanted any of the three i have contacted could make me dead meat.

I set a + or - 40 systems game with neutrals off and everything high to the AI. I have a good homeworld.

I started very unluck. For the first time I didn´t had ANY planet to colonize in my starting system. Two warp-points that lead to empty systems, one of them with the thing that magnetizes ships(don´t remenber the name). After that I encoutered a race in a corner, their home system, and there was 4 breathble planets, 2 huge and 2 large, unbelievele. But meanwhile i encoutered another system with two huge doomed planets.

I dicided to colonize the doomed first, but didn´t went to the borders screen,it was already claimed. I colonized one and came another race with two ships and kaboom. I have to say that i started with my usual tactic of building first 4 or 5 colony ships and explore with them. Well that´s no more effective.Then I start sending colony ships with 2 or 3 ships and they always send more and better then I had.No alternative then abandon this system and unclaim it.

What's been saving me is that went partnership with the race who have the 4 breathable planets and i could colonize them. Now i´m at peace with all three and trying to make a fleet who's effective.

It´s amazing the number of ships they have.
Next time i have to start with less computer bonus.
It´s true that im not a experienced player with SE series, not even with SE4,(to be honest i spend more time reading this forum them playing, but if i have fun that way )but the few changes you made, make a BIG change in how the game must be played, I can say whithout doubts.
Thanks for the mod.
Thanks also to Tallen,Shadow99,[126]Mephisto,Trancejeremy,James Sterret,Tampa_gamer, and all that post or will post their hard work.
