I started a giant galaxy game, with a few other civs. I'm a few days into it, and I was setting up an invasion. As I moved my ships into place, the race I was gunning for sent me a message telling me they were on to me...
I found this pretty impressive, as most games take no action when you amass an army around them. Needless to say, my war didn't go as well I as I thought it would. I took some planets, but was slowed rather quickly.
Very impressive, and very fun. Anyone else run into stuff like this? I had one empire fall apart in a World War type of debacle. Alliances were invoked, which caused a civ to hammer me from a side I wasn't expecting.
So kudos to the devs for putting together great AI, that's fair, but cunning.
