No. My complaint is about the AI.

If you play unlocked then for whatever reason the AI (those that have come in contact with the human player) will ignore other AI players and basically send all forces after the humanoid player. Does that make sense to you?

This screenshot is from so early in the game (check the fleet ship icons) that it's fairly obvious one AI left his home systems basically defenseless to fly all the way across the system to assault the human player. The other two were at least my neighbors.

Yes, now your post makes sense to me. A little bit of context goes a long way to understanding. I.e. I had no idea what your problem was before your explanation.

-----------------



That's hard to say. Take a look at the replay to see if your assessment is correct. Since you have no view of the other planets, it's hard to say if the AI has no other fleets there.

I'm having similar problems. I'm playing on a big map against 3 A.I. players (all easy and random). There are 3 stars. In the star I'm in, there's me and another AI and I don't know about the other 2 cause I haven't explored them yet, but the 2 out-of-star AI come to my star and attack my colonies without even going to the other guy's.

They do that?

I thought it worked like GalCiv2 where each player (AI or human) is treated the same.

i found that to be true as well... it almost seems that the AI all form peace with each other to gang up on you.. pretty much ruined the diplomacy option for me, i always lock the teams now.

i think if the game started with everyone at cease fire the problem might resolve itself.

Every game I have played I ensure rapid expansion and power. Looking at this screen shot the AI is ganging up on the weakest link, which I KNOW it does. Every game I play with AI the AI will take out the weak player first and then fight the harder players. It is very easy to see that you are the weak link at this point in the game.

In my games the AI usually focuses on the weakest AI to gain territory easily. I think your right in that they are ganging up on you, but I don't think it has ANYTHING to do with you being 'human'. I will look into this more in my games but I have seen a strong tendency in v1.03 for AI to focus on the weak player.

Which AI are you talking about? out of the AIs attacking, the orange one is the furthest away and it's still only 3 jumps away.

Really it's not that hard to get favor with one or more of the AIs, I've found that early on the missions are pretty much just giving resources and you can often get 60% favor with one of the AIs just from giving it resources when it asks. Once the AIs ask you to attack someone it's usually time to start invading anyway.

I usually try and pick which AI I want on my side at the start and do the missions for that one until I get an alliance, for example in this map I would have done the missions for pink because it's furthest away and I've got a fairly good attack route to the other 3.

Once you get the alliance the game is practically won, half the AI fleets will be busy attacking your ally, you can constantly send pirates their way if that isn't enough (the AI doesn't deal with pirates nearly as well as a human would). Only on massive FFAs with 7+ AIs do I find I need more than one ally.

I think the problem is that since you're not finishing the missions (who does?) the AI begins hating you so much they unite to kill you.

I was playing a 5v5 locked teams on areolian sector and my allies started in a different system i started across the map so 20 minutes into game i got attacked by 3 enemy ai i had no hope they had 4 cap ships and like 15 frigates i had to 2 kol and a akkan class since i got 1.3 i have been having this problem a lot on most of the maps

I'm on the verge of finishing a 5 system huge map on 1.03 with 9 AI players on Normal difficulty as I type this. I can definitively say that they did not gang up on me. But, I was also keeping up with them from an expansion and fleet perspective; so I was not the weakest link. I even managed to form alliances with 2 of the 3 other AI in my starting solar system, and kept them both happy long enough to secure another solar system in its entirety before I backstabbed them both one at a time while they were involved in wars with 2 other AIs that expanded to the 3 empty systems.

I'm actually pretty happy with the AI's behavior in 1.03. It's still somewhat weak on Normal, but I'm going to give Hard a try once I finish up this map and see how things go.

Sounds like unfair lives up to its name then.

meant hard i play against hard ai but they plain overwhelm me i set them to fortifier and they still did it and i still keep spawning so far away i cant get help
