Is Galactic War supposed to be this easy?

I was doing it on absurd I think about ten missions, and I don't really know why it's so easy, because I'm too lazy to scout. I did the same build I always do, V-fact, 1 metal, 3 energy, A-fact then Bot-fact (I don't remember the techs, I uninstalled). By then, whatever I had was usually enough to focus fire the commander and win. I never had my base or unit groups attacked, no metal raids, sometimes the AI would scout with air in the beginning, but not twice. The last mission I played, if I remember right, I waited around 40 minutes for the ai to build up, but when I scouted his base it was mostly basic factories and barely any units, which was a much worse performance than when I made an effort to kill it.

I'm a novice PA player, and I had significant challenges with relentless. Sometimes I had to go suiciding from planet to planet looking for one I could capture and get an upgrade because the AI was kicking my arse, and I really enjoyed it. It taught me how to rush and kill one of the commanders RIGHT NOW so I don't get overwhelmed in ten minutes, etc. Absurd is a pretty idle experience. =]

Thanks for the words and the listening, too, Uber folks. Much appreciated. =]

If you want more of a challenge, I'd recommend going for skirmish vs AI for now, and trying Quitch's Queller AI mod. It's not up to the Titans meta, meaning it will rather mass greandiers than sparks, but it is generally more competetive orientated in it's build, production and unit choice.
