Darsnan,

While you're thinking about Beta Lyrae, how about the Harsh Planet clone?

Hi vyeh,

Yeah, I've looked into this on more than one occasion. The one thing thats really been stymieing me at this point is how to get the AIs to play better in this environment (which is one of the main underlieing themes for most of what I do). So far I really haven't had any real great ideas to push this forward, so I've sort of set this on a back-burner for now.
Any chance you've had some good ideas to implement in this environment?

I believe Gallagher already modified the following lines:

#RESOURCEINFO
...
Base Square, 1, 1, 1, 0,
...
Recycling Tanks, 1, 0, 2, 0,

The AI's get a free pressure dome. So their HQs start with 2/1/3.

They also get a free former, so they should be able to farm some arid rolling squares and have size 2 bases while the human player is struggling with size 1.

If that is not enough of an advantage, how about giving the AI some ability to live off the fungus at the beginning, say 1-2-0?
