AI in GalCiv

from Stardock Forums
Just for kix I started up a game of galciv and just hit the turn key. Tiny galaxy. All AI set on incredible.

Game starts: 2178
AIs start attacking each other: 2183
AIs start attacking me: June 2185
My units are dead: July 2185
Home world invaded: Nov 2185
Dead.

That's 84 turns to till death. But only 5 turns after they declared war. In 5 turns they killed me and conquered me.

So it looks like GalCiv on a tiny galaxy you get 80 turns freedom. Most of that time they AI seemed to be colonizing worlds and claiming resources.

have you experimented with your tech, social, & military sliders in the beginning of the game. Managed to beat incredibles to gavilty accelorator, of course i hadn't built anything except when i paid cash for it :)

I think this was a comparison to MoO 3's 250 turns of not dying... good to know the AI can and will knock you off the map.

TheHamster, I think 80 turns looks reasonable time for the AIs to set up their basic structures, they have to do it without paying too much attention to you,because there are more than 2 empires in the game.
I bet if it were only 2 empires , you'd get killed much earlier (is it possible to check BTW?) .
