Why game is so easy? - Page 4

Hmmm. Most people work harder than us. Most of us are rather fat and lazy slobs, whom watch too much television and play too many videogames. Of course, we dont have the dole as a sociological institution to support a non-working lower class, so there is a flip side to that.

But back to why the game is easy, there used to be a bunch of people in the early days of SE4, whom would hang out here and complain that the game was easy. Yep, it is. It can even be easy with the hardest settings, the toughest mods, and horrible cheating creatures like the Space Monsters. It just depends on how good you are. The only real answer is to play against humans.

LOL. Honesty is not always the best policy when it comes to the truth.

on the contrary. the truth, if ignored, gets really angry and finds a two-by-four...

And that's the truth. The AI's are fun, and you can spend weeks creating the ultimate in game winning strategies against all levels of difficulty against all Versions of the AI.

Then you enter into a game against humans. They sneer at your strategy, laugh at your ship building skills and giggle at your research priorities. Then, around turn 30, they hand you your head and turn your capitol into a mini-mart.

NOW you're playing a game!

And even against human players the game can be quite easy, or so I reckon. Asmala and Rex? Is the game really too easy for you when you play humans?

I have tried TDM mode - the same things. AI send sips on my planet (with 10 Weapon Station) one by one (or 2-3 by 2-3). It is very silly. How I can change it (to force AI to create a big fleet)?

THanks

it was partly inspired by a sig i saw somewhere else. 'history doesn't repeat itself, it just let's fly with a hammer and screams 'didn't you hear me the first time!?'.

Excactly which AI is that (and what setup are you using) ?

There is a vast difference in the quality of the AI's. Some are very stupid, others just a bit daft

. Make sure you pick some decent ones (using latest Versions and patches) and give them a bonus. If it's still easy for you with High bonus, then you are ready for the big league (KOTH on PBW)

What game settings are you using?
What AI's are involved?
Are you playing a simultaneous game?
