AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent

[JLS]

PTF if practical, can you humor me and try the EVENTS test for the Homeworld one more time, with opposite play style and one Home World, basically as below.

Originally posted by PsychoTechFreak:
With multiple HW starts yes, but there was always one planet (master) never affected by high/catastrophic events. I checked this with a modded event.txt, just the 4 severities with a text popup for the severity which has taken place. Some thousand turns later, almost everything but the master HP has blown up.

In other words can you try this in Simultaneous mode one HW.

Then a test in standard move with one HW.

This is only to test that some players have seen HW events and other have NEVER seen any, yet the default Events, settings and facilities file is the same with all players (use of Default files is assumed)

GLV and I always play Simultaneous mode and do not recall ever seeing any Human Player HW event that�s a lot of hours of play, with no recall of an HW event, how about anybody else?

Oleg and GLV, have you received the Template for AIC Events v4.00, that I Emailed you the other day?

Not with respect to a test, just your thoughts, I need to move forward with this

No, I did not

[oleg]

But I tried the one you posted in "max.severity" topic. I think it is the same, right ?

So far I had ~100 turns game. Events chance low, max.severity high and so far nothing happend to me

JLS, The prob with the mine sweepers is back, Had teh Eee go into a 100 ct mine field cleared all 100 so I took there emp to look and no sweepers in the fleet, will send when I get back to it.
I may just restart another

Before you restart your game, Mottlee.
The way I understand the AI in AIC, it does not need just mine sweepers to clear a minefield.

Early in the game the AI takes high losses to mines. As the game turns pass the AI will research larger ships, the larger the ship when it is combined in a fleet the easer it is for it to clear the minefields, CVs have a extra bonus in clearing mines as well in AIC

Mines may be of some value, since it should be around the Sixth to fourteenth year you open your first warp (Depending how Defensive, Offensive or Infrastructure investments in the style of play you may be... If playing a Cluster style Map chances are you having the entire cluster to your self so you should not have to over do defense too much.
[/QB]

I have opened my first warp, as early as 3.1 Years and with a bonus of NONE for the AI you really do not have to worry about the AI when you are warping inside your Home Cluster
