I have a few screenshots of a Siwa planet I started on 1.03b2 where it's just wild with the wildlife and marauders. Quite literally.<br/>

Here's the issues I have with the way the AI "deals" with logistic. With pictures for ease of explanation. Sorry about the mediocre paint drawings and the oversimplification. The AI can build free roads, and is always in supply if ...

<t> Depends on the type of creatures there are. <br/>
Against 1-2m tall animals I had no problems, infantry could hold the line and the buggies could hunt all of them down with no casualties. <br/>
Against 6m tall enemies with armored plates... the buggies didn't cut it at all.<br/>

<t> I have to agree with FlashXAron: AI that blatantly ignore the rules the player is forced to follow are just not fun to fight. Especially when there's no lore reason for that behavior, AI Wars gets away with it because you, the human race, are fighting an AI entity. In Shadow Empire we the X ...

I thought the "current points" display how many are left after the "used points" used the "initial points".

<t> I see, and yes it does correspond to the Water Stock in the ITEMS, I was just having a hard time understanding what was happening. It was confusing me since I focus so much on the SHQ item panel, can't shake the idea that it provides all the information and the concept of "losing" storage ...

<t> Welcome to random generation, if your luck sucks you are in for some trouble. You can have such bad luck that you spawn surrounded by slaver minors each of whom will outnumber your militia forces (if you chose that start) and have DIY tanks and plenty of buggies and an unquenchable desire to ...

Have you checked your city for any traffic signs you may have put there and forgotten about?
Press the 1 key to hide units that may be covering them up .

<t> That doesn't seem to be the issue I'm talking about. <br/>
<br/>
My maximum water storage capacity gets reduced by the exact quantity of water required by a farm (1000 for open farms 200 for domes). After 3 farms at round 22, without building any storage facilities for water, my SHQ has 0 ...

Rather than take the water from the storage they take the storage it self. Specifically it seems to be the same amount they need to function. Level 1 means 1000 water storage lost when an open farm is built.

Are they supposed to do that?

You'll notice this when you build mines and other map assets, the roads are in the hex with the buildings. <br/>
You don't need roads to what the game calls assets, like free-folk settlements or crashed cargo ships, but you do need roads to national assets, both private (what ...

How does this impact the mid- and late- game play? Is the planet essentially conquered before later faction developments? <br/>

The short answer is yes and no. You can have games where that happens, you ...

Well i was wrong [:D] Too bad... Would be awesome if an AI could be targeted the same way a human player can, by blocking their supply....

<t> Ah yes, those are the "issues" I'm seeing in this beta version, with those advantages the AI just expands insanely wide in my games with the minor nations being unable to even slow them down let alone survive them. It's also hard to cut troops off without doing a full encirclement because they ...

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Does the AI difficulty scale with your planet selection? In other words, if you select a radiated crappy planet where everything is hard to come by (food, water, shielded biomes, special suits,.etc), does the AI also ...

<t> From what I've seen capturing a city is better since you take over all of that new population and all those already constructed buildings, if you can keep troops in it to pacify it that is. <br/>
Creating a new city requires you to spend IP to build it, spend colonists to grow it (and spend pop ...
