Re: My game against the TDM AI
I have to admit that I also fell victem to underestimating TDM AI. What a wonderful surprise. I had begun by striking victory after victory in the early game, but then came my first Mid-game encounter with the Jnaraer. Wow. I suddenly realized that I had a challenge on my hands! It was a wonderful drawnout war. I eventually won, and was MUCH more careful come the End-game.
I had established a staging point that had my Warp openers and closers and several repair bases, defense bases, training etc at a homeworld. I would group my ships, warp into AI space and take a system. Warp back, re-group and do it again. Didn't take too long before I couldn't warp anymore because of System Shield facilities. During one such operation, the Eee kept sending one ship at a time through the warp point. Which were instantly vaporized. I got a combat message, thought, oh another single victem. But, imagine my surprise when a Massive Eee fleet was attempting the destroy my staging point! What a battle. Nearly an hour later, I was victorious, but my openers and closers were gone, all my support ships/bases dead or damaged and a new fleet in training in bad shape.
It was great.
