basic questions on armors

Your welcome

Fine choice; AST mod is a great mod and work that Atrocities and the guys put into it is Spectacular.

Most se4 races are in AIC. I made emp files for the Phong and the Terrans primarily as examples for AIC, all should be done in the next few weeks. But you may pick and choose as you wish for your own race and if you want many Computer Players to play you may get the max.


You will really enjoy the AST mod, Atrocities ships sets are hard to beat

You see I played SE IV one year ago, but somehow I got not hooked at it (mostly because the IA was not given his bonuses). Now that I'm into it again, I find the game very interesting. My first real game is with AST, and I have made so much mistakes that I'm only a little power in the galaxy . What an enjoyable feeling. Nothing more frustrating to know that whatever you do, you will always win against a computer opponent.

Hehe. Then MOO3 is not your game. At least not yet. One player claimed that he won game doing nothing more than hitting "Turn" button. Though there is a code patch coming soon so it might be corrected there.

I have never found AI to be any considerable opponent in SEIV. Only once, when I gave it all bonuses. Then it came to fight against me with level 10 shields and level 5 PPB in its battleships, when I had level 3 DUC and level 2 Capital ship missiles in my light cruisers. Now, does that sound like AI cheating? I lost my appetite on that game.

Me Too..BUT I come out swinging

An AI that could beat you with its algorythms, (instead of bonuses), would not sell in a game for 40 dollars.

It all depends how many million copies of the game you will be able to sell .
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe in spite of the great success of PBW, the majority of the people who bought SE IV play it solo. Therefore IMHO it is a good selling argument if the AI gets stronger.

Well Q,
I am one of those that plays solo most of the time.
I agree it would be nice to have AI with more and better algorythms.

I would love to see better diplomacy and an AI that could say:
If oppoenent weapon X Then build Defence Y
