Perhaps there is a bug that allows the AI to get away with some economic trickery when it goes bankrupt.

What you described, two syatems churning out three or four ships per turn after turn 100 isn't that amazing really. The OP is certainly exaggerating with over 1000 ships. It's difficult to take claims of cheating serious when the person making the claim shows a lack of understanding of the game. Every time someone describes an equal sized fleet stomping them I wonder if it isn't the Hissho with active Bushido,Īnd many offer incorrect information like the OP's assertion that pirates only attack the player. Some factions have powerful production perks, other have economic advantages. Most posts like the OP offer incomplete information. Besides those bonuses, I have never seen any proof that the AI cheats by breaking rules. It's all we got until someone builds a sentient AI. The AI does get bonuses, but what 4X game doesn't need to give the AI bonuses to make it competitive. I found this page when investigating the difficulty modifiers. It was fixed some time ago, but after recently returning to the game, i've noticed the problem seems to have returned. There are reviews for this game that called it 'Endless Spam' instead of endless space. This is blatant and unfair.Īnd, above all, it's nothing new. The AI does not have to operate under the same rules as the player under ANY difficulty.

I don't know if he had to sacrifice any ships/planetary improvements, but his tax rate didn't change for those four turns.

at one point, he ran his treasury into the negatives and it stayed there for three or four turns. Even with only two systems and five planets to his name, he was able to churn out three or four ships a turn, which he continually ran face-first into my superior numbers. In less than 100 turns, i had claimed the entire galaxy, except for two systems, which i allowed him to keep. I would wait for him to settle a system, invade, and claim it for my own, all the while churning out further warships to defend the colonies i had taken. This allowed me to churn out a full seven ship, 1800MP warfleet by turn 13, which i promptly took into my enemies territory. I got super lucky and got a Dust Cloud on my starter system. Thanter, I've experienced something similar to the OP's predicament.
