anyone else having this problem? i want to mess around with some of the new units without any pressure from an AI or other opponent but the AI still builds stuff (rather slowly) when the difficulty is set to sandbox :/
this is a known issue, it is because the AI is set to an economic multiplier of 0, which for some reason it still has a very small income. one way of getting around this is make a two planet system and quickly escape to the other planet. It ought to give a decent amount of time to mess around before the AI follows. You could also moniter the ai and keep destroying its economy with a satellites to keep it contained.
