Is there a way to make computer use better colony ships/transports/constructors?

September 15, 2006 4:38:41 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I am wondering, because the AI never seems to build faster transports, or faster colony ships, even when it has the tech. That tends to cripple it some. Would it be possible for the devs to add that to the base game, or at least DA?

This is one of the areas where I feel the human can exploit the AI still.

At the level I play the AI already does design/improve faster transport/colony ships. At game start a AI colony ship will have 3spd, 2 - 4 months ltr 6spd etc...

Often seen the AI with faster colony ships than me in the first 6-9 months, also they have hordes of them, that I cannot match.

Are your playing at difficulty "Tough" or above? Below that the AI is artificially dumb to allow for an easier game.

Other than that, there is a way to improve the AI: Post your observations in the forum, and the developers might notice it and find a way to improve the AI.

Bob and Stab are right, AI is no slouch on tough and above.
So crank up the diff if you want a challenge, the AI will step up the challenge it presents.

I am playing on intelligent settings all AI's. You also all noted colony ships, which I don't pay a lot of attention to, as I rush mine out fast.

I'm more worried about the transports- it just seems to use base transports with only one engine, when transports have to be the fastest engines.
