Ok, first a complement: the new patch gives the AI much faster ships and now theyre much more challenging tactical. Good job stardock. now on to the (Relatively minor) pain: - When you load a saved game, something always happens. Generally this means peace is declared between warring civs. Its wierd, because it almost always happens, on to three civs will declare peace or something or the other. This can be a major pain if you

OK- 1st- I only play on tough, so this is the AI at its best game 2nd- these are some tactical issues the AI needs help with IMO A- The AI needs to value speed more, I've yet to see an attack ship with engines. Half of what makes the dread lords so challenging is that they can move about so darn fast, and with only 2-3 moves a turn the AI is basically cripled IMO. B- The AI needs to change its threat analysis. It has to

I've repeatedly gotten the "we know what your doing if I was in intelligent I wo

ok I am guity of using this exploit. When invading a planet I always send in a suicide 1st wave of 500-1k troops and have them do something really devastign like mass drivers. They'll loose but they'll wipe out like 4k-6k enemy troops. The catch is since they lost, the planet doesnt loose quality. I then send in the much larger main force in with traditional warfare and win the planet intact. Honestly though, invasions are so hard unless you

k game runs fine rarely ever crashes however.... Every once in a while a save game will be corrupted. This occurs in two circumstances: 1- it crashes while saving or 2- it crashes while loading a game which appeared to save correctly. Sometimes the autosave will be corrupted, but it will never crash while you save, just when you load it.
