difficulty settings bug.

from GalCiv2 Forums
Latest beta:
This was also happening in non-meta games:

When I start a new game, when I get to the page where you set the AI level, the Terrans are ALWAYS set to Dunce, whether I set the overall dif. to challenging or whatever. SO I click on the Terrans and set them to Bright to match the others.
Now that I'm in the game I see the Terrans only have 3 planets 3 years into the game.

I thought this was fixed?

The Terrans are inept and will never amount to anything. Ever. They might as well be Intelligent with all the other AIs being on a really low setting, and they'll still get whooped. By everyone.

Hell no, ive seen them have a LOT of fraking planets and do OK, and I got beat by them and the altarians 1 time, just set the difficulty manually, and itll be fine.

That bug has been taken care of in 1.3 b3, which was released yesterday.

Or, is that the 'latest beta' you were speaking of?
I had the problem too, but it did not happen after I updated to beta 3.

Recent game Im playing with terrans set to Intelligent, they just went to town on me. I changed primary weapon techs half way through when I realise everyone else was using laser type technology and defences. Then somehow they had the biggest hulls while I was still on medium. It was not pretty.

So to answer your question, if you set them manually, they are fine. If you let the game set their rating with an overall rating, almost any race can be completely retarded. I didn't realise the new beta was out though, so just downloaded and will try a new game tomorow.
