    So i know to put some sensors near my border with you if im unlucky ... heh

    CMNs can give them more starting bases, sats, do some terraforming for them, edit their strategies and so forth. Quite a few really good tinkerers on poly when it comes to modding the AI.

    Could always increase the map size to large.

Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

      Ah, stapling. Why is it that only a truly great leader like Yang realises that future prosperity greatly outweighs the immediate short term suffering of the people? Get back to work you lazy worthless drones!

        Playing a PBEM, I find the AI isusually the LEAST of your worries. The other humans are the darn problem

        A strong AI may actually help you in the sense that a more aggressive human opponent is not able to steamroll them as easily

          They provide a nice bounty of techs if you do it at the right time though

            can they make AI strategy to be give Hive all techs?

            On a more serious note, do you guys want AIs?

              I would either give them satelites or give them positions that nudge them into growing stronger.

              even if not boosted, i advocate AI just so the map isnt so empty, which is the worst thing about cgn games imo

                Unboosted, random picked AIs would be okay for me. Human players are challenging enough, no need to get humiliated by having your butt kicked by a brainless cheating AI in a PBEM game.

                I mean ... at Transcendent, that can already happen to me without them being even further boosted.

                  Then my advice to you is to endavour to infilitrate your opponents as quickly as possible so this game might serve as a learning experience

                    ok, plonk some random AI in there. Just no Miriam. Please, god, no Miriam. God I hate her. Sperber doesn't want any boosted AI, but perhaps he wouldnt object if they were given a couple independent formers, just so that they arent completely inept. Oh and if Morgan is involved, can you make it so that he isnt retarded when it comes to producing bases?

                      Should we knock the mapsize up a notch then to the standard large ?
                      I might actually have some treaties this game since i won't be running PS/Planned though im sure ill find some other way to annoy the AI

                        Hmmm. The only reason I went for AI was because Kata said the map might be empty without. If that's not the case, maybe it would be better to play without?

                        I promise we will have some decisions made soon!

                          If all you others are keen on boosting them, you can go ahead. I just expressed my preference, not an ultimatum.

                            how about a compromise say 50x100 (between standard\large)

                              50x100 is fine by me. Slightly boosted AIs - free formers, good starting positions, and any changes you think would be beneficial. Could the landbridges also be a little meaty? Not much point in them if they are just massive choke points
