A little disappointed...

Master Belisarius...

I was just going to post that with the TDM mod, the AI is still super-aggressive! I haven't played much with TDM installed, but I don't notice too much of a difference.

I thought that the AI in MOOII was very good. I wish the enemy AI and diplomacy in SEIV would be similar to the way it was in MOOII...I won't even mention MOOIII for obvious reasons...

Hmm. Most people complain AI is not aggressive enough

It is impossible to please everyone

BTW, did you change "ai uses mega evil empire" to FALSE in settings.txt as suggested ? That alone should make AI more faithfull in the endgame.

Oleg...not aggressive enough? Are you kidding? I am yet to meet an AI empire where they haven't attacked me almost immediately after first contact and then have murderous feelings towards my empire...and this is for no reason...also, I give gifts almost always, and even if the AI says something friendly in response, they still attack me on the next turn or two...It doesn't get more aggressive than that...

I think Oleg was refering to the follow-through, not the initial declarations of war.

I think it is quite close to Sci-Fi canon to treat aliens as a thread and go to the war. Every time humans make first contact, some sort of war happens. AFAIK, only Vulcans did not try to enslave/wipeout us. Well, may be Centurians too, but Minbari rectified it

Oh, in AIC mod too many AIs are peacenics.

I have to provoke them to make game more interesting.

a vicious, space-traveling horde has more chance of stopping at the asteriod belt than earth. and if they want to get rid of us, they'd probably pick a worthless asteriod and drop it down the gravity well. that is, if the're 'rational'. being particularly vicious is the only reason i can think of for them to attack us.
