new normal AI & forgotten text change

Hi,

i like the new AI. At least normal(easy) is now doing something.
But i think the Borg are building to many ships while the other races nearly build only smaller ships and not rly many. May u could take a look at it, because i feel like i only have to deal with the borg on this difficulty.

Another thing...
u changed the names of the difficulties, but i think u missed to change the text message which shows up when u defeated an ai.

one more...
i noticed that when im the Borg and set my ships on auto special, they shoot this special anti shield weapon often when the enemy shields are already down. Kinda waste.

Thats it for now.

P.S. Ilove this mod! Only things im not so happy with is the ai (.. it seems like more difficult means only more vessel spam, sometimes i wish there would a ship limit i can set) and that ur fleets r often rly big (i like it more personal, small fleets...)

From what I can tell, the Borg AI trys to build the same number the other AI do.  The problem lies in the fact that it's using Scout Cubes for basic destroyer, assimilators and adaptors for heavy destroyers, spheres for cruisers, pyramids and diamonds for heavy cruisers, cubes for light battleships, and tactical cubes for heavy battleships.

This, combined with the low rate of attrition on those forces rapidly means that the borg AI fleet is not only built of strong ships, but rapidly outnumbers all other fleets.
