did the AI get less intelligent » Forum Post by DAWEMANATOR

I've noticed that the AI fights amongst themselves more now which if you aren't being overly agressive might explain why they don't feel you atre a major threat.

I think in the normal version, 1.05 to 1.00, the AI normally forms alliances, like modern day NATO, which make teh game harder, especially if you'r not in any of them. In the 1.1 version, teh advanced AI is samrt enough to recognize superpowers before they's fully born, and try to teake them out earlier to stabilize their own empire's place in teh world, universe whatever. This could lead to the uber-hard AI dying before you can even take a swing at them, or it could lead to less empires in the game at large, which means teh painful mop-up stage is averted.

Which is what i think he was trying to say

As for the geography, that could boil down to luck.

However, it could be that the AI attacks other factions than their own. So they act within Canon of SOASE

I have noticed that both my victories in 1.1 were the result of the AI surrendering with 3 or so planets left, following me utterly destroying the remnants of their fleet.

thanks for all the responses. B/C i never know when i can play or for how long i cant get into online play. Does anyone have any suggestions to increase the difficulty?

Not to increase difficulty, but try recording your next game andthen trying to see if you can find anything in the replay that might explain what the AI gets up to thats giving you a break.
