No. I haven't experienced such problems yet (i7, 16GB RAM, 770GTX). I've played games fluidly well into 300+ turns on Gigantic. However, I never use the battle viewer... Btw, there are only 8 majors if I recall correctly?
[quote who="Ashbery76" reply="10" id="3544991"] It is very annoying that the A.I has political options the player does not have. [/quote] Agreed.
Tried multiplayer for the first time time last night. It's broke. But single player is shaping up fine. Just get the AI to actually build up colonies and put sensible things in them, and all will be well :)
Another good explanation, thank you.
Aha! Thanks. Still doesn't explain the constructor labelled as a gunboat though... And shouldn't they turn white to be in line with the rest of the pirates? That would simplify matters.
Playing against all 7 majors. Terran Alliance is - as you can see from the screenie - *way* stronger than all other AIs. Yet all AIs are on "normal" strength. What then is making the Terrans so much better than the others? Why does one AI civ come out way on top when all are based on the same number-crunching?
Thought I would report these issues... This is not a gunboat, and it is the wrong colour for a pirate: Also the wrong colour for pirates: The Exis have been destroyed, ye
I've seen this too. You can get them back if you click on the asteroids in question.
[quote who="Stalker0" reply="27" id="3545332"]1) The way buildings are right now, its almost always better to build rather than wait. [/quote] This. [quote who="Stalker0" reply="27" id="3545332"]2) To the question of "soften" vs "kill", again its almost always better to kill than soften in the game right now. [/quote] This.
For me, the greatest single "issue" that this game has is the AI colony management. On every planet I culture-flip from the AI, it has built absolutely nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. I assume, apart from its insane military spending, this is the reason the AI is ususally constantly broke. Get this issue resolved and the game will be truly great. Even now, this is already a bloody fine game, despite some other kinks.
Thank you!
Very good point.
I've found the Terrans to be very aggressive on the last few versions of the game, they keep declaring war on me.
nice.
[quote who="Franco fx" reply="4" id="3544719"] If they do that just remind them that they are encroaching as well. Oh wait, you can't do that. [e digicons]:)[/e] It also irritates me when they "remind" me to not cross their borders when we have an open borders treaty [/quote] This.
It seems to me lack of AI development of its planets is a critical flaw in this otherwise superb game
Can someone tell me what the grey asterisk icon above the planet is? Thanks.
Hundreds of turns into my game and no UP meeting yet...
plain > plane
Ah, thanks. Sorry devs for thinking it was an issue... :)
What the title says. I can see all AI homeworlds through the FOW scattered around the map at the start of the game. This is either a bug, or the Thalans (whom I'm playing) have some kind of special ability...
Agreed.
what do these "special projects" actually do? Nothing, as far as I can tell?
These f*ckers are EVERYWHERE (default setting). Everywhere I look there is a damn pirate base. They *chase* my ships and kill them. They assault my starbases. They even attack my PLANETS! Man, they are aggressive sods. I'm toning them down next game.
