Minor civs and influence starbases

A love story?

February 26, 2006 9:53 PM from

Ok-

Whats up wiht minor civ AI? Seriously these guys are in love with influence starbases, which makes no sense since they cant have any representalbe cultrue on the map. Ive seen networks with maybe up to a dozen minor civ influence starbases in other civs territory. This is just a tremendous waste of cash

AND-

Minor civs are muy paranoid. I've repeatedly gotten the "we know what your doing if I was in intelligent I would wipe the floor with you" (ironic cause I only play in tough- everyone set at intelligent) even when my ships were sectors away. The best one of all was when a minor civ declared war on me saying they werent going to wait for my invasion force to strike which was hillarious since they were so far away I hadnt even found their world yet!!!! Cracked me up big time

This is definitely a problem, and needs to be addressed.

Maybe they are defending themselves from being culturally flipped by the major civs?

I've noticed this a lot. I've seen minor civs with 3 influence bases in their home sector and 1 in each surrounding sector.

I've also seen major races with influence bases deep in foreign territory where their effectiveness is almost zero. I can't figure out why the AIs are building these since they don't do much and waste resources.

All I can think of is Brad didn't have much time left to program a decent minor race A.I file.I hope thursdays patch will stop the infuence base spamming from minors.They should be building Military bases and ships only.
