I decided to see just how badly the SE5 AI needed work by going on an all-out crusade to crush them. No mercy, no quarter. This was in the demo, but from what I hear, SE5 Release 1.0 is the same.
Well, it took me 93 turns (most of which was spent just finding them since they rarely expanded out of their home systems!). None of them even came close to putting up a fight. They were absolutely pathetic.
Hmmm, guess I'll be busy modding if I want an even halfway interesting game
I really hope the first patch and some of the early mods improve this...a LOT.
