Dead ai not dead?

defeated ai stil plays

August 5, 2008 8:53:13 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
so it was a free for all game, and i had used my novaliths to destroy Purple's planets. It showed him as defeated, but his fleet was still there, fought my fleet, and reclaimed one planet. but the diplomacy window still showed him as dead.

Did he have a colonizer already at the planet he reclaimed? I know it happens sometimes that if they do have one it will still auto-colonize, even though the AI is essentially dead - the combat AI works so his ships will fire (but not move around), but the empire AI is done and won't do anything.

I remember seeing this since the first few patches.

he had a colonizer cap. but his ships would also move and attack me. they weren't just stationary.

Well, by moving around I meant the map, not the grav well. So yeah, it basically sounds like what I described. The actual "AI" was dead, but the combat behavior for ships was still active - so the colonizer auto-cast, and his fleet engaged you in the grav well.

This is a weird byproduct I guess.. initially, you only had to destroy planets to win. They ninja-changed it to planets + colonizers, which opened this weird loophole. Definitely strange
