    Play on size 2 planets. The AI is hopelessly incompetent if it can't get more than a few mexes up, and never progresses up the tech tree.

    "Hopelessly" suggests you do not think I will ever be able to make the AI work under those conditions.

    Would it be better if I said "The current AI is..."?

    I read a certain Facebook status about an hour ago. Reading posts in this thread made me giggle uncontrollably.

    Any apply pressure. I tried the new Nuke building AI. If you apply minimal pressure and keep it on it's toes you will win. I never even made it to T2 what playing the AI. It dies in about 5 minutes after I scout it.

    I wouldn't post another person's status in public - bit of an invasion of privacy there.

    I have been nuked in the first 20 minutes.


    Actually thinking about it, if it's impossible for the AI to nuke within the first 20 minutes, maybe I haven't... That was the game where I didn't realise I had spawned in the middle of an AI triangle, failed to tech up, failed to push out of the triangle, failed to scout effectively, and instead tried to out artillery the AI's catapults and Holkins using pelters.
    Can't you quote it? It's only an invasion of privacy if we know who said it.

    Unless it was blatantly @sorian . In which case, yeah. It's up to him to quote it here.

    If I could "like" a twitter comment, I would.

    That makes me very excited.

    So the AI doesn't "cheat" with his economy? The cpu is just a classic CPU?

    I'm excited about what I'm going to see!

    Please release the Super-Uber difficulty. The difficulty where the (non-cheating) AI actually is practically impossible to beat without a mostly perfect game and a lot of luck.

    HAHAHAHA.
    i can see sorian sitting in his chair laughing,
    And I'm guessing the thought going through his mind would be "I'm so good that I pwnd you without touching the mouse"

    Not only are they planned, they are partway implemented. Nick has been working on them full time for a while.
