Default Re: Ahem....AI don\'t mass you say...

Previous to this patch, I have been playing in a 254 system galaxy with all the planets set at huge with as many as 12 per system...makes for a lot of powerful races. I created 8 5000 point races and along with the computer generated ones, I have 20 players in the game. I also set high bonus and high difficulty. Also I created a couple more ships per race, one as a science ship and the other bigger than a dreadnought that I call a battlestar (for lack of a better name) both of these all the races use extensively. So far out of 20 players I have never got above 10th place (even after re-playing it many times). Some races focus on production, some on huge fleets, others on massive intell projects...it has been extremely tough to keep up even using mines and such. I find that if the AI wants a system, they go to no end to get it...even busting through my minefields...and I have seen races declare war on me for not responding to their diplomatic Messages. I dont know about everyone else, but fighting several of these races at once has been extremely difficult. I consider this game with all its editing capabilities and setup options far superior to any of the 4X games in the past. Not since the original MOO have I spent so much time with a space game.
