So I got really frustrated this morning playing a 4vs4 match on a medium map.
I had locked teams option set, and 3 computer players and I were all team 1, the 4 other computer players were all team 2.
From the beginning it became apparent that the AI is useless in helping out. If allies were in one of my planets and the planet and my forces were being attacked, my computer ally would do nothing....he didnt leave the sector he just sat there doing nothing. If one of my allies planets were being attacked, it would always ask for help, but never send any of his own forces to combine with the ones I sent. Quite a few times while one of my allies planets were being attacked he sent a massive force to the planet, so I thought all was well, untill he went straight through the planet and on to another that he started to assault, completely forgetting about the one he was just in that was getting owned.
The last straw however, which made me stop playing in a bit to vent in this post, was when I heard that one of my allies bases were being attacked, and I looked at the base only seeing blue colored ships, so I thought it must of just been one enemy that was killed before I had a chance to look. Well a couple minutes go by and another announcement is made saying my ally has lost a planet. I took a closer look and realized my allies are fighting each other.........wtf. What is the point of having locked teams if they end up fighting each other anyways, and don't seem to help each other out whatsoever.
I would really like to see a feature added where you can at least suggest to your computer allies to attack a specific planet. I couldn't take a planet by myself since it was a small map for a 4vs4 the only bases that were one jump away from a friendly planet were all heavily fortified by at least two enemy players.
Anyone else frustrated like I am?
