To Tampa Gamer - a question

[jim]

I have added the Ponderosa to my empire, but that's not why I'm posting this. :-)

The Colonials, as tough as they were, could have been much more formidable. SHOULD have been, I think.

In their two HomeWorld systems, there were 4 - count 'em FOUR - ruins worlds of their planet type. There were another two in adjacent systems.

The Colonials did NOT colonize ANY of them!

They colonized 10 or more planets in three or five more distant systems, but not the ruins worlds in their own. They also seemed to have ignored ruins worlds (in some cases moons, but not all) in the systems they colonized.

You might want to look at your AI for that aspect.

(When I encountered them, I saw that they had 6 ruins worlds of their type already in reach, and it scared my poor military half to death!)

Thanx again
