The game AI

[Brazuca]

I don't think that i an a genius, in my third game, i an playing on a normal AI, gigantic galaxy and on 2200 i an the most powerfull and the second and the third powerfull civs, Yor and Altarians, lost wars to me and are paying tributes to me ( 200 x 48 months ) and ( 150 x 48 months ), i taked 6 systens in less than one year, i have heard that the AI adptate to my strategy but i don't loose a single ship, i saw screenshots with hordes of AI ships in my game i don't see that hordes, in a normal dificult....sooooooooooo boring

Looks like you're ready to crank up the difficulty a notch or two

The ai plays at an economic handicap at every level easier than intelligent iirc.

Crank it up to intelligent or genius. It starts getting interesting there although the ai has lots of easy to exploit weaknesses.
