I am doing my best to master this game. I have gathered a lot of info from here and the IG forums and can say that I know how the game works. Now I have a few questions for you more experienced people:
1. I define my DEA dev plans for New, Secondary, Core, Rich, Poor, Frontier, and All. The only place I put research are Poor worlds since there are many and it should be enough. If I need more I micro.
Now I have a Secondary, Rich planet with no specials and the AI keeps building Research!!!! Not one, but 3!
I have plenty research as is, and need more mines and infra on that rich planet (as my DEA DevPlan says).
2. Turn one. After having defined the DEA DevPlans, Finances are on "Peace and prosperity", Military build queue is cleared, several planets in the home system are marked for colonization, I dont have contact to any other races nor am I in the senate, I press TURN.
And what do you think the AI puts in the Military build queue? A frickin' troop transport!!!!
I KNOW there is no logical explanation other to the AI being dumb. I am aware that the game is playable as such, and the AI would (in a long run) do a pretty decent job. But as such, the game is NOT interesting at all. I would do a much better job myself, but am not allowed to and its not in the games "spirit". The constant wrestling with the AI is more annoying than having to micro all by default. Gonna ditch this game soon if thing continue like this......
