Taera GOLD AI in works - asking for assistance & tips

[Q]

I did. Result as said.

I've noticed they rarely ever go and build ships over 600kt. In fact I havn't seen a battleship yet and it's been 40 turns since i first saw the first battlecruisers. I'm no good at AI modding but i think there is no design over 600kt in the design creation. And i think maybe some battleship entries to take advantage of the next mount up, these should be built sparingly however if you can mod that.

So far they're wiping the floor with Atrocities United Consortium of Planets with their smaller designs but the UCP has just researched dreadnoughts and the tide in the war seems to be changing. They also expand rather slowly so maybe focus on that.

Re: shipsizes - i've emphasized the BC size because then i thought its optimal, now i know the Battleship is amongst the best sizes. The SC techs 7 and up are quite far in the tech file. Bad idea.

Expansion is bad, yes. Im thinking around that now. Also realize they have Ice/CO2 so this is also a problem. I still like it though

hmm, realy, the expansion is an issue - perharps someone can share their secrets for making the AI expand far and fast?

EDIT: perharps Alpha Kodiak would happen to look in? the Vaxin are realy good

It's got to be easy - make AI build more colony ships ! Either decrease "entry per planet" or raise "must have"
As to the rarity of Ice CO2 planets , that' no problem. Look into Space Vikings files. They are Ice O2 but breed like Xi'Chung

ice/02 isnt rare... but still thanks

Tip: Use BA with many organic armors. These designs worked superb with the Aquilaeian...
