Can you reproduce it? Can you also write down the steps to reproduce it? What is your operating system? What build did it occur in? Did you know about the beta issues & bugs sub forum? What about the bug tracker? Please remember to search. Why am I stating everything as questions?
I can confirm this. This build, I played a teammatch with a friend vs 2 AI commander and set the economy rate of the AI to 2, 4 and finally to 100. Maybe there was a little change but finally we won every game easily.
It works only when all teammates adjust scale to the same value, otherwise I think the game start with scale 1,1
It will work in team games, but it can be difficult to set up and it is seems buggy. You definitely need every player to make sure they've done it correctly or it doesn't change it at all.
What happened was: no one turned up to the game, I pressed "ready" and the game began with me being the only human - the slots were filled with AI
