Unfair AI

from Sins Forums

I want to know whether the unfair AI "cheats."  In other words, does it get a resource or monetary bonus?  Stronger ships?  Etc.

Note that I don't mind if this is the case, I just want to know whether it is true or not.

He cheats by getting a bonus credit and resource income. He doesn't get vision, damage bonuses or any other form of cheating.

Thanks Blair.  I wanted to know because I found the unfair AI fairly tough going against it, and I needed to know how tough to be on myself in my performace evaluation.  If you said it doesn't cheat at all, I'd be really tough on myself.  If you said it cheats some, I'd be less tough.

Thanks.  And again, I have no problem with a cheating AI.  Even less so here, because there is "truth in advertising" - the AI is labeled unfair!

They actually added it because there was a considerable number of requests for a cheating AI :P

Just a thought of course, but the "cheating" actually allows the ai to be a harder opponent to fight, and therefor more fun as an adversary, rather than a too easy one, which alot of people find boring after awhile from the lack of challenge.

So my opinion is keep it in, it makes for a more enjoyable game.

I think we can safely all agree that they named it 'unfair' for a reason.
