    You ever try to chase an AI commander across 5 different planets?
    Probably not because sane people use planet smashing, but I am not sane.

    I still want AI personalities based off the devs.

    Honestly, I usually play against two AIs setup at Normal, sharing armies, and usually at some point during the game I take over, and ultimately win. Time to time I fail and I lose as well.

    I've never tried with the Hard settings.

    The one downfall that I find in most AIs is that they are too easy and the only way to make them harder is to make them cheat.

    If the AI ended up being able to go tow to tow with the pros without cheating then all I would have to say..... Have my babies!!! o_O

    All you'd actually say is: "No! Please! Humans and machines can co-exist! Mercy! Plea-"

    AHAHAHAH!!!!

    I'm also finding the AI quite a challenge, so it's cool that new players will have something to work at to beat.

    Working on the weekend, and late... good grief. Thank you for the effort Michael; your AI is inspirational.

    Hopefully when things calm down and you have a breather, you could make some more blog posts about your experience with this. I'd love to read about it.

    Yes.

    It didn't last long. The AI went orbital, I ignored the layer completely and ate his main base with t1 and t2. Brute forced my way through the layer after the commander. Dropped a thousand bots on his remaining homeworld, forced him to start rolling around the rim, and preemptively avenged myself.

    Yeah, the AI does love its early orbital, but unless you're planning on rushing to another world then it's not a good tactic.

    Are we getting are hopes up if we wish for a non-cheating AI that's literally kickass for release or can we hope for such a thing?

    that would be ...well kickass

    Only because the AI interpreted "humans" as "humanity".

    just had an nice victory vs normal AI - satisfying, I was able to defeat his forces and eventually get the comm.

    it was a good game for me, felt like I managed econ well, t2'd at the right time, etc... but I reviewed the game anyway.

    turns out one of my early fighter harassments REALLY paid off - kinda too well. took out one of his air fabbers building his first ground factory, and he never resumed its construction. set him way behind. just FYI!

    Hey @sorian , I saw some interesting thing while testing with AI
    I was trying to make halleys work and left planet, and I forgot to set AI to sandbox
    When suddenly I realized the AI nuked my base, and then he nuked again at the same spot, and a third time at the very same spot, which had only wreckage
