this is the first game i have been able to finish without it crashing.
i think the AI needs more aggression.
i played on the large random map.
8 players normal.
non of the AIs went interstellar.
1 AI was defending the star well. this was the one that had the whole system to its self.
1 AI put a fleet in the star well to cut off my reinforcements which by this time i didn't really need.
i have 1+ million credits 100000 metal and 90000 crystals.
as i said in my other thread we need some trade ships to tie the empire together.
i have not played multi player.
and please don't say i need to play hard before complaining about the AI. on normal the AI should be going interstellar if it is able to.
