Of course there is a distinct chance that they will gang up on every CA in sight.

That's about the only chance for other races to survive. They'd have a chance before CA hits the TT-25. With TT-25 it "monsterizes" so badly (84% planets livable, 56% of them breeders) it would be bloody hard to stop it.

IMO such a test in huge normal uni is not a real proof, because it would become a game of all others vs. CA(s). If there would not be enough CAs (like 5) to "spread" other races more proportionally, it would be pointless to play.
The "all-enemy" setting also negates the big diplo advantage CAs have: Orbital Adjusters. In normal games the player that meets his CA neighbour always has the big dilemma: if he fights it, it stalls his development, easily missing opportunity to win. Sad But if he allies with CA, both can grow BIIIG, easily winning the game. wOOt 2

If one'd rally want to test CA capability, he should've put it in a small normal uni with one other race as opposition. Both races should also be played by the players of about the same level. And OFC repeat the test 10 times, to minimize impact of the starting conditions. Then he'd see the CA would win most of the time vs. any race but the ccmaster's duel -f HE Shocked .
