Hi I have the PRIMA strategy guide and it doesn't say anything that I could find on probe teams. Either on AI diffuculty bonus or the formulas used to calculate probe team cost.
I found this at http :// spyang.com / strategy / alphaCentauri.html
The reason I ask is I was once playing as Deidre on on transcend and yang mind controlled a base containing about 10 of my mind worms. WTF! Where did Yang get all that cash? He then proceeded to do it again.
I'm playing Morgan now on transcend on a standard sized map and I deployed my probes to deal with Yang once again. As usually he broke our peace treaty within 10 turns and sent his infantry after me. When I used my probe team I found that it cost 140 to subvert one of his infantry!
It seems to me transcend effect probe teams actions beneficially for the AI. Can anyone confirm this? If so do you have the formulas?

Knowledge - Excellent. I use this frequently. The bonuses are very useful and the -2 PROBE isn't a big deal if you are diligent about building enough probe teams to protect your bases. On transcend difficulty, your enemies can perform mind control probes so cheaply anyway that even without -2 PROBE, you are extremely vulnerable without probe teams to protect your bases. From this perspective, the -2 PROBE is negligible considering the fact that with a 0 probe rating, it will only cost the computer a couple hundred energy to mind control any of your bases.
