    Just wanna know how the AI is, played a lot of different RTS games and I have come to the conclusion that if the AI is boring then you get quite bored of the game pretty quickly.

    For example in Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour, the AI is very repeating and once you have played against it you can foresee the attacks.

    Normal gives me a hard time. Of course i'm pretty new to the game but this game horrybly ovrwhelms you with information that you must be aware of including ground, air, orbit and space (moon or moons)

    And unlike a person the AI has no problems managing it all simultaneously. So I consider the AI challenging.

    The AI is actually some of the best, much better than Supcom's or TA's to say the least, they don't just build a preconceived base because... random planets, they're also good at harassing players and used to be able to get nukes up really fast. (Before economy changes.) So I'd say... even in this state some of the best ai. :D

    I think it's more of the fact of borderline porn. :p

    The AI uses really aggressive, but really *normal* strategies. For example, you will have trouble raiding an entrenched AI, and the AI will do a good job of putting pressure on you, but if you push the AI off the beaten path it'll start doing stupid things. For example, a few games ago I blew up the air engineer building the AI's first Orbital Factory and subsequently the AI never ever tried to build an Orbital force for the rest of the game, even after I left it alone for a while. Similar things happen when you stick it on a naval planet or it ends up spawning on a mountain or something (the latter only really happens in Galactic War).

    Once a Normal AI pushed me off the planet and made me escape to the only moon.
    After finishimg feverisly building a totally airtight defense on that moon I still wasn't attacked, then i took a look at the planet and discovered that AI has literally covered entire surface of the planet with Tier 1 tanks. I believe he didn't build an orbilat launcher because he couldn't move the tanks annywhere and then I just sent there an orbital laser and shot the commander down.

    The ai is a work in progess. But its being built by sorian.... the ai he modded for Forged alliance was just ridiculous, it learnt from all its past games and used them to improve its self to the stage where it could hands down beat my and my friends 7 times out of 10 haha. Just wait till the games fully released as every time they bring out these big changes gw ect it fucks over the ai for a little while :) just be patient and his ai will make you rue playing against it at some time in the future !
