[XAPBob wrote on Wed, 12 September 2012 12:32]What research/tech fleet strength should be attainable by a half competent human with a half decent race?
I'm testbedding a -f IT, and obliterating three expert AI in a small dense.
I took out both of the neighbouring PP starbases in the early 30s, although I don't have a big enough bombing fleet (defenses are a pain) I'm just expanding through him, without the packet threat.
I basically control the top 60% of the map, with an HE in the SW and an AR south central/ east (number 2 player at the moment)
Not all AI are created equally.
The CA (Rototills) and AR (Macinti) are pushovers. The CA doesn't expand enough and the AR doesn't arm and guard his Orbital Forts. Both will give up some tech (usually Bio and Energy respectively) far too easily.
The IS (Automitrons) are tough to dig out but like the CA don't expand enough.
The PP (Cybertrons) expand aggressively and will packet you, especially at worlds you take from them. At range and with good defenses their threat diminishes.
The SS (Turndrones) don't expand as aggressively as the PP but they field Beta DD's early and their stealth makes them a greater threat.
The HE (Robotoids) are a nuisance when close, firing all those Mini Colonizers at you. And a rich source of tech from pop dropping them. But if they can develop in size and to later tech they become a serious threat.
In your test wars, I would suggest not making the AI random but distribute it among the last four, all expert. Make it no more than one IS and add a pair of SS and an HE for 4 enemy. If more, add up to 2 PP and maybe another HE.
