Iztok you were 100% correct. It was the Fleet Movement Bug. After uninstalling and updating, even though Stardock said I had version 1.8g, the game was actually loading as 1.8e. Editing my Windows registry to show the version as 1.8e, then updating thru Stardock, fixed the problem. I am happy to report that I am presently getting my butt kicked all around the quadrant. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!! :CONGRAT:
Thanks for the reply Iztok, I uninstalled last night and reinstalled. It did change my version from 1.80e to 1.80g so crossing my fingers this was the problem. I'll post back once I get a chance to load it up again.
Well that didn't work. All AIs are on intelligent. All have had their aggressiveness level bumped up. Nothing I have done will get the AI to move anything more then one or two troop carriers. They declared war on me and decided rest in the shade, I guess. Presently have a surveillance ship (speed -2 to Altarians) sitting right next to their home world and several fleets of warships. They leave it alone. I guess a total reinstall is the only thing left to try.
Franco_fx Ok...I'll start another game and edit each race aggressiveness and see what happens. I hope something works. This is game five now and it's getting pretty frustrating going through all that buildup only to find a walkover. Getting your butt kicked is a good thing. I miss that from the orig GalCiv. Thanks everyone for your help. I'll let you know how the new game goes.
Thanks for the tips Mistralok, but I never use CTRL-N, all races are on intelligent, none (in the last two game examples I gave) have randomized intelligence, CPU is at MAX....... I dunno what the problem is... Here is a screenshot of how all the AI civilizations act with their fleets. The Drengi here are currently at war with three other civs. This is what their fleet is doing.... [img]http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s87/Limerick_share/DrengiClot.jpg[/img]
NeuralTech.... LOL...well this 'guy' says howdy! My 1.8 is the downloaded version (1.80e). Just to make sure I didn't flub it up I went back and started yet another game..these are the settings.. 9 random races Tough Gigantic Universe Uncommon about everything (rare on asteroids) Scattered Terran Alliance Normal tech tree No tweaks, mods, yada yada yada All the races have an average of 5-7 worlds. One only has 2. We are all
Update: Ok started a new game using a tough setting and playing the Terran Alliance instead of a custom race......and the AI is still a bonehead. I'm several years into the game and am a bit below par on tech and military to 7 of the eight races. The last one has a whopper military and a tech about 40% better then mine. It is at the point in the game where everyone is at war with everyone else.....and nothing is going on. I routinely place surveillance/assassi
Thanks fellas. I'll give it a go on tough with a non random intelligence setting.
Hello, first post so be gentle. Have DA 1.08 but having a problem with the AI being a dunderhead regardless of settings. My most recent game there are five civilizations who have declared war on me and other then a once in a while troop transport the AI ships just sit at home. I finally got frustrated and went after the Goliath on the map. My tech rating is 1/3 his. Game difficulty hard. The AI does nothing to intercept my fleets. His military rating is 13000 to my 550
