GalCiv 1.12 delay

from Stardock Forums

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know that we're not going to be able to get that new build up tonight. The code is nearly done and while we could probably finish it tonight if we worked late enough, the IT guys have gone home for the weekend and it's not ideal to put out a new update with them not around so we're going to hold off until Monday.

Some of us work on weekends. But Stardock Central is still somethign I wouldn't want to mess around updating without someone there to bail us out. ;)

I'm really hoping the AI stuff will be noticeable in the new version.

Hey Brad. :HOT: Working the weekends, burning the midnight oil? Thanks. I'm looking forward to trying out the latest improvements.

Care to elaborate on which areas of AI got upgrades? Research paths? Invasion tactics? Fleet coordination? Threat recognition and response? Predictability? Increased bonuses? All or none of the above? :)

Have colony/transport ships been fixed yet so they don't stay loaded in orbit? The civil defense officer who orders people by the billions into these sitting duck ships, with big bullseyes painted on them, "for their own protection" when enemy ships approach, that guy ought to be fired. ;) I mean, sure, the old "duck and cover" routine taught to elementary school kids in the States was pure placebo, but at least it didn't send anybody further into harm's way. LOL

I still can't wait LOL

Seriously though this is probably the update I have most look forward to.

I have a feeling the AI improvements will be noticable Brad, or at least I'm expecting the "hey they don't normally do that" to be uttered during play at least once ;).

As I remember the AI was dumbed down for 1.11...

I always played on intelligent AI and in the 3 games in 1.11 the AI was plain stupid when it came to invading!

My last victory was an Tech-Victory with 2 Systems on a large map. It took forever and I had no ships for the longest time of the game because the Drengins would always destroy them. Theyr military was far superior to me and my allies but they simply did not invade! I think in the whole game there were 2 planets captured!

At the end the I-League had Excaliburs and noone could move...

It played really stupid!

I hope that the AI will at least get its old strength back for the Intelligent-Level!
