Default Re: Top AI scores seen?

I have seen Ais with over 2.5 million points but mostly in test games against other AIs. To get a challenge out of the AI you have to use the right setup IMHO. Many people try to increase the number of AIs and think they get more challenge that way. I think that is not the case. As we all know, the AI isn't that competent if focusing on one enemy is called for. By adding a greater number of AIs the AI will just fight more with itself but will not develop. Further, the AI is not very flexible at deciding what planet should be used for what. To cover all its needs the Ai need a greater number of planets to make sure every important aspect of the game is covered. In essence, you will get a much better game out of a huge galaxy with 6 chosen AI races without neutrals then out of a 20 races game.
