In a OCC Diety game I just finished, I was not able to get to Alpha Centauri before the year 2020, but just wanted to see if I would before the AI did.
As I kept researching and building freights, the AI Vikings kept going in and out of war with my Romans. Fortunately, I held a fortressed mountain and a fortressed hill between them and me, with Alpine, Mech Inf, and Armor, along with a couple of howitzers.
When I had finally rush built the last module needed and sent the Launch command, the AI began a multiple attack each turn in an attempt to get to my city of Rome.
Since I had finished the Space Ship, I was able to build some Mech, Armor, and Howitzers to replace those finally defeated even in the hardened hill fortresses. In addition, I did construct SDI defense and a SAM battery, along with a few stealth fighters.
Before the Launch, I had a total of 7 casualties during the entire 6000+ years. At the arrival date, I had total casualties of 32 units, and was still in place with 3 MI, 1 Armor, 3 Stealth fighters.
However, the AI Vikings has thrown units at my Fortresses, and at the City (via bombers, and stealth bombers) in the following manner.
Marines --- 117
Cavalry --- 143
Armor ----- 61
Cannon ---- 50
Artillery - 132
Bombers --- 20
Stlth Bmbr- 25
Helicopter- 14
Boy, when they get organized, they have a ton of units to use. And it seemed like there was no end in sight.
Moral. Beware when you Launch. The other uncivilized nations will send everything they have against you to beat you up. You had better be ready with strong defenders, city walls, SDI, SAMs and choke points fortified and double and triple manned.
