My race is sad and insulted :(

Submitted by Shion Kreth on Tue, 2006-11-21 22:46. Space Empires V General

Why do even peaceful empires break treaties with me and out of nowhere start wiping my planets clean of life? My race is very sentsitive to this kind of betrayel.

Do different AI races actually have different scripts or do they all hate peace and mean to kill you whenever it's convenient?

That is most likely the Mega-Evil Empire setting. When your empire gets to a certain size in comparison to the AI empires, they will declare war on you. IIRC you can turn this off in the settings.txt file.

Well, if his planets are getting wiped clean of life, he probably isn't triggering Mega Evil Empire. I think it has more to do with his definition of "peaceful". They're not very peaceful if they do things like that, obviously.

What *I* don't get is why the AI keeps assaulting the same warp point over and over, only to have his ships get assimilated and end up shooting at him in greater numbers the next time he tries it. Foolish AI. Resistance is futile.

Actually, Mega Evil Empire only relates to his score, not his military capability.

So yeah, it sounds like he's gone MEE.

Muhahaha

Submitted by Zohar on Wed, 2006-11-22 13:51.

I had a treaty with some guys. I couldn't expand into a sector because apparently my treaty didn't allow that. Only plausable solution was to immediately declare war and procede to destroy that empire, how dare I put that clause into my treaty!

I also liked when I attacked some random empires planet and destroyed their civilization there. They responded with war, so I tried to reply with, (Declare War Default Text), "Is war the only langauge you people understand?". It wouldn't let me declare war though, they beat me too it =P

(I guess what I am trying to say is that the evil empire setting in that file must be for psychos like me)

interesting

Submitted by Shion Kreth on Wed, 2006-11-22 18:27.

Thanks for the response, I was really curious as to why excactly the AI did that. Which setting is it that controls that? personally I'd like to see that altered, I liked it more in master of orion 2 how the races were more distinct and realistic instead of feeling like the 'AI opponant' who, out of nowhere, sooner or later is going to fanatically try to wipe you out even if they don't stand the slightest chance on top of you being a valuable trade partner and military asset to them.

Mega Evil Empire

Submitted by Rilbur on Wed, 2006-11-22 19:01.

The mega eveil empire is controlled through settings.txt, IIRC, and it works by causing you to become the mega evil empire when your score is a given percent relative to the second place scoring AI. I think its 250% of their score, and all AI's declare war.

And, from past experiance, it can be caused through lots and lots of trade treaties, ooops.

Back in SE:IV, when I first discovered the Mega Evil Empire mechanic, I was pleasently surprised that the AI was able to momentarily annihilate me. That's what I get for having 90% of my empire as research Sticking out tongue

These acronyms are getting longer and longer... I bet that soon enough all sentences will be written as acronyms :S
