Need advice about AI mods |
I bought and played Space empires 5, and think that the AI players arent really difficult to beat.
Are there any good AI mods outthere? Can you give me some advice which mods are good for balancing and overall fun factor?
I bought SE5 because i am going to China to work there in Commissioning of a Plant, to have fun, but i dont have internet connection over there... (its some stinky and ugly village i will be living for the next 6-8 months)
The games that i will take with me are MOO2, Elite Frontier, maybe X2 if my notebook is fast enough, you know, some space games that will keep me busy when iam done with sight seeing.
Beijing will be cold in december... As cold as the Frontier.

2masterdorn, update your game to 1.58 and install Balance Mod mentioned in prev. post. Thats exactly what you're looking for.

The AI in BalanceMod 1.10 is stupid. First they declare war right after I encounter them. I send in a detachment of Battleships againts their level 2 destoryers, then they surrender. They should have played it smart and take my peace offer. 
I am playing a game with No Warp points. I don't know if this has anything to do with the AI's lack of research.

The AI isn't able to use the stellar manipulation technologies at this moment - so the no connection state is not good for a solo game. In the no connected state, the AI researches mostly the expensive theoretical techs to obtain stellar manipulation as soon as they can, so it may not look like there doing much research. Therer could also be fewer colonizable planets in that system where they started as well.
There was bug in v1.10 that had AIs surrendering unintentional. You can use v1.11 and continue your v1.10 save games.
