I know this is just another AI rant, but why is the AI so dumb. It's really bad... not only is it cheap to just pour tons and tons of resources/useless tech to the opponent, but they also have no clue what to do with it. On godlike or insane whatever is the top tier the AI can be destroyed with staggering advantages in every possible way. AI has to be the largest part of a strat based game, and it seems like almost no thought went into it... :(

I recently started a game on the most difficult setting and within the first few turns I went to trade the AI which had 25k credits and over a dozen techs including weapons etc. What does the AI get as advantage on the hardest difficulty settings?

[quote who="KnutAreMykland" reply="12" id="3551391"] Syntetic races disables growth. therefore they have no limit. However not building any approval buildings is a big no. the penalty goes all the way to -75% as your pop level increases. The penalty for going over the food/pop limit is negative growth, syntetic races have no growth. therefore they have no penalty to going over the pop limit.

What Racial abilities do you like for costume (or stock) races? I've been enjoying a synthetic/engineering build. I build strong manufacturing on my planets to make tons of synthetic life then can go to war easily because star bases can create ships anywhere on the man with no penalty.

That is pretty involved math, I feel like I'm reading a text book. So long story short, is using the research project any good? I noticed a small increase by using it vs just sliding everything to research, at the cost of a whole lot of micro.

1) What is 95% cdr missles? 2) Are you able to stack multiple carrier mods on your ships? I don't think I noticed more fighters on my previous game? Is there any point to using more than one type, defense vs attack?

How "slowly," I have several worlds with a 45(ish) cap and over 100 population several turns past my quickly clicking the "assembly," with no regard to max populations. Can anyone tell if decreased moral decreases production faster than a higher population?

Can anyone explain how projects work now? In previous beta ver the projects transferred unused manufacturing into population, research, etc. Projects still do this but it seems more complicated of a formula and very unclear to me. In my current game I used a custom synthetics race and built purely manufacturing on every planet, expecting to switch to research project. After maxing out all my planets I switched to the research project and was rewarded with 0 points of research. I found by slid

Joeball, Thanks for your reply. That is a lot of numbers, what is it telling me? From the original question: what happens when I go over the "cap" for population? Does it lower my moral resulting in lowered production? Does the extra population help in any way, or does it start to hurt me?

Watching my battles on the battle viewer (which seems very poorly done) it doesn't always seem my ships fire all the missiles. I make big ships packed to the gills with weapons, but it looks like they will sometimes shoot 2-3 missiles then other times they will fire 8. Has anyone else noticed this? Also, why would my capital ships with long range missiles charge full speed into oncoming ships only to have to do a bunch of spins later? Just chill for a second and bla

I saw the tooltip for moral had changed to no longer include production bonuses. I thought they had changed moral bonuses to include only population growth, influence, and resistance bonuses? I know in previous beta versions moral included production bonuses, are you saying moral still does this and its just not seen?

I go over on my synthetic population caps, and can not figure out if there is any negative reproductions of this? Do I get penalized some how other than moral? I know my moral is very bad (0%) but they are evil robots, who cares?! I'm not trying to culture flip with influence. My growth, as far as I know, isnt slowed. Who needs Resistance when you are dominating the map?
