this might be a bug. on "tough", the AI is still totally inept in a game im playing. and im not the only one encountering this. there is another thread under bug reports: "galciv II difficulty problem in 1.31" about this issue. the AI drops from 80% effectiveness to 15% in that case. that might explain its astonishing dumbness.
im also playing a game on tough atm. i never hit CTRL-N because im afraid it messes up the AI. however, the AI has nearly no military and its planets are hardly developed. nor does the AI research much. it's pretty pointless ... this is *definately* not the "tough" that im used to.
my headline about says it all. does "NO TECH TRADING ALLOWED" apply for the AIs as well or is it a limitation that only applies for me, like the Hidden Exploration thing. thx in advance for any enlightenment.
i think so, too. but i somehow doubt that those people will apologize to anybody ...
dump it. afaik you need to log on to the metaverse before you even start your game. ive just finished mine and it seems you cant post it on the metaverse for security reasons. would have been cool had i been told *EARLIER* bout this ... before starting a game you need to log on to the metaverse, it seems. or something.
what? no party-palace terror stars anymore???!!! (wasnt that the name?) that was kinda awesome. you could theoretically (it was extremely expansive) build a floating monstrous terror-doom star that also had an enormous moral improving party palace module onboard. if i recall correctly! plain awesome!
weve done it at home with 10+ machines -- and yeah, its fun
