Mega Evil Empire and AI benefits |
I noticed that when playing singleplayer game while giving AI big bonuses there is a problem iwth mega evil empire.
The best benefits give AI 3x construction speed, and 5x the Intel/research I think.
To stay competitive in research/intel section, you must have then output about 5-6 times to what the AI has. (just to stay even, in tech and intel)
But this extra points can quickly drive you to the MEE levels, and cause the game to be problematic.
I know MEE limit is easy to set in game files, but I think I would prefer some sort of AI benefit alteration to it coded in. If I give AI the 5x point bonus, maybe the score should be based on the actual ai score, instead of the base score. Or maybe a multiplier to MEE because of benefits.
Do any of you guys think.
Re: Mega Evil Empire and AI benefits
I always outdo them so fast it's not funny. I avoid the Mega-evil thing by focussing research into only few fields. that gives me a low enough number of tech levels to not have a huge lead.
Re: Mega Evil Empire and AI benefits
What is this thinking your talking about XD and what is MEE? its it like the new Wii?
Re: Mega Evil Empire and AI benefits
MEE = Mega Evil Empire. It's a setting that triggers the AI to become hostile towards a player that is much stronger than everyone else.
Re: Mega Evil Empire and AI benefits
I was once a MEE playing the EEE (without a Wii). 
Re: Mega Evil Empire and AI benefits
Based on the replies, I'm not sure that many people actually try to think, or if they try they won't succeed. 
I'd prefer to give the AI all the benefits it needs, but would still like to have diplomacy (even if it is a bit poor) in the game. The MEE prevents this, as the AI either beats me hands down in research and intell due the bonuses, or keeps in pace with me on them, but thinks I'm a big bad meenie because it doesn't factor in the x5 multiplier it gets.
Does anyone have comments on this concept? I know I could just change the MEE value in settings, but I'd prefer a different solution, perhaps the points taking into account the multiplier.
Re: Mega Evil Empire and AI benefits
Simplest might be a new feature allowing MEE to be adjusted in game set-up.
Or a score feature which would scale score values based on bonus levels.
I say mod it or shut it off. I've been too lazy to do it myself, so I can't talk too much. I think once I modded the AI's MEE value = to mine & tried to push one over the limit. More hassle than it's worth.

Wow! I had no idea...
A few try...
