A few buggy-things I've noticed

February 6, 2008 7:20:55 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
Not necessarily requesting an immediate fix or anything, as these aren't big issues (and I'm not sure in any case whether you're already aware of them), just thought I'd point them out.

1. I played a single-player game when I first started up the game, a simple 1v1 versus an AI on a single-star map. I won. Yay! Then I looked at my achievements, and discovered I had Star Explorer -- without every playing on a map with more than one star. Eh wot?

2. The AI has no notion of teams. While I was playing a 2v2, humans vs AIs, the AI team would frequently place bounties on each other's heads to avoid being attacked by pirates. This seems...strange.

3. There was something else, but I forgot it. So nevermind that.

Even if you put AIs in teams, unless you use locked teams (selectable when starting the game), it's still treated as an FFA and there's nothing holding the teams together.

In locked team games the AI doesn't do this.

Plus it makes sense that the A.I. is actually smart enough to hinder their supposed "allies."

seems to me a great tactic as the side that sends the pirates to attack is never known,

pretend to be a friend when at the same time working against them,

the assassination of Julies Caesar springs to mind, "et tu brute"

Even those closest can betray you.

I also think your misunderstanding the exploitation and extermination aspects of this game.

It's about destroying all opposition, not picking one to go skipping through the daisies with, hand in hand. lol

Well, when set on a team with someone, I don't exactly think of them as opposition.

It does make sense when the teams are unlocked, however.

...come to think of it, why can't we put bounty on allies? That doesn't seem quite fair.

Nobody (not even the AI) can put bounty on anyone they have a Peace Treaty with. You can still put a bounty with Cease Fire.
