Re: Why are the Eee the most dominating AI?
Two things. Ancient race and Gas Giants. That's not to say these two things would give a human player any kind of absolute advantage, but I think they are invaluable for the AI. They help cover some of the AI deficencies.
They don't waste resources early in the game on exploration ships. They get a jump on the nearby colonizable planets. Yes, sometimes the ancient race can be a hinderance because they send colony ships too far out, but I think on balance it's better than not having it.
The Gas Giant is good because with fewer planets that are larger, there is less micro managment needed to balance the resource needs of the empire. And it's usually easier to defend, at least for the AI. A human can do equally well with any of the planet types, but I believe that the AI does better on average as a Gas Giant race.
