Default Why game is so easy?

Hi

I set Computer Player Difficulty/Bonus in High. But it is very easy to defeat all computer players anyway.

How I can create more hard game?

Thanks

Vasiliy

try the TDM mod and Play-By-Web at seiv.pbw.cc

TDM improves the ai.

What you mean? Team Mode (all computer players against human)?

nope, TDM is a mod, not a mode. you can probably get a copy off PBW.

www.malfador.com has a listing of all mods on its SE4 web site. Look there.

There is an all AI vs. humans mode when you are creating a game. This will make all AI empires allied, and at war with you.

Sorry, I am new in SPIV.
Is the TDM like a patch? Is it free?

Thanks

Today this is not a good option if the AIs has Bloodthirsty as happiness... The AI keep sending Partnerships proposals during all the game (even after have this treaty), and then, more sooner than later they start to have many many riots, just because they're so friendly!

Default Re: Why game is so easy?

mod's are user-created additions to games, and, aside from a few like counter-strike for half-life, their all free. to use it, you just download it, unzip it in your space empires directory(it should come nicely packaged in it's own directory) then you open up path.txt in your SE dir and change 'none' to whatever the name of the TDM directory is.

if that's to confusing, ask someone with more experience in being helpfull, rather than funny.

The the link to the TDM files: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1066028417.zip

For best results, play with High AI, High AI Bonuses, SMALL galaxy, 3 starting planets, 4 TDM AIs (think United Flora, Earth Alliance, EEE, Narn, Aquilaeian, Rage, are some of the best).
With this kind of settings, even an experienced player could lose (me for example ).
And not forget to test the Tessellate (some of propaganda to my AIs would not hurt, right?): http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1055630817.zip
