so Marius, Zap, Fusszeh, kamk, Cyrax + 3 rom Ai decided to play a ffa game on blue amber map.....well things were going rather well for all players ...at first ..... fussezh kamk and zap were fight ting with each other ..... marius had a few skirmishes with the teal romulan AI ..... Cyrax was fighting lots with the white romulan AI and the war was going well ..... my small dominion fleet had reached white romulan AI base and then this massive Green romulan fleet AI fleet washed over both the white Romulan AI Base and my fleet along with it .....next my expansion fell .....then my main base fell .....i tried to warn them that the green romulan AI was out of control.....but kamk and fusszeh were federation players and think them selves safe behind there turret walls ....after all why should they care if the Dominion was losing its war with the Green romulan AI .....meanwhile kamk was winning the war with zap .....some dispute they had over a romulan constructor that zap had stolen and kamk wanted .....on kamks other border with fusszeh a few small skirmishes had broken out and both fed players started building turret walls. ......not too long later cyrax the dominion was defeated my fleet was lost and my base removed from the map ......i warned them that the romulan fleet was massive but they dismissed me out of hand. well kamk decided to start invading green romulan space....things were going well at first ...then his fleet encountered ...the "mass" ....his fleet was killed and it moved across the map and into kamks base ......after it was done with kamk it moved onto fusszeh and he was brushed aside .... the team 7 romulan ended the game with over 202 ships on the map.....and the game did not even last 2 hours ....the ad...log can be found in the up loads and down loads on the team speak server its a file called romulan ai goes nuts

The Romulan Merciless AI just keeps building ships and building ships. I keep in practise by doing 1v1s against it with a handicap of 1.15 build time on Old Space, and it usually throws together devastating waves of Norexans, D'deridexes, Cehlaers, Serkas, a Tavara or two, and a bunch of smaller ships.

Well, usually it's easy to beat any Merci AI, incl. the Rom one, due they all have obviously a specific programmed behavior, but this single AI was defeating everyone at once, including the other two Merci Rom AIs.

It had more vessels than all other 7 players combined, attacked everyone, and had some weird crusade going on from left to right.

:lol: awesome - it's because we make fun of the AI being so stupid, it had its revenge!

I thought so too. Guess this AI decided to strike back

Wow, that sounded like a pretty crazy match.

I find that on certain maps the AI gets crazy ruthless and builds ships like a crazy mofo, especially klinks and roms. Not sure what it is but Ive seen certain masp where they play like idiots and get rolled quickly, but some of the larger ones, they are on you before you can even get a few decent ships out and you end up on the defence the whole time, eventually they just overwhelm you if you cant knock them out early.

playing 8 player free for all a majority of the time i take out 1 or 2 teams and then get to the middle and its just swarming with 1 dominion player who controls 3/4 of the map with the other teams having maybe 1 yard and a mining station left in a corner of the map


but iv seen each A.I. faction take the map like that, most commonly in this order of success
dominion
romulans
Borg
Klingon
feds (not very often)

I have seen times where the AI will go for expansion moons first over one at their main base. Somehow the distances on some maps confuse the AI and their expansion setup gets off balance.

Wow, i've never seen a FED AI doing ANYTHING useful

In my games so far Klingons always keep spamming small stuff, and Borg just mass up and then attack. Rom and Dom are definitely the real deal, at least for me.

Can you remember in which kind of line up the Fed AI really does something?

When it's the enemy... my AI's are always useless when allied to me, only when they're allies.

when you say "line up"do you mean, like what kind of ships do they use?

there seems to be plenty of small ships. generally im fighting other factions and when i can get to the middle of the map they have a lot of stuff flying around there. (like what they all seem to do, mostly its the dominion doing it tho)

Weren't we in an AI bash once where a Fed merci spamed some 1000 ships? i remeber that clearly.. actualy. it was frighting

Its difficult to explain, sometimes the AI just goes berserk. I remember once I went alone (borg) in an 8-way FFA with "only" hard AI. In the end there was only me left and one fed. I was building tactical cubes left and right but the fighting got crazy. I kept luring him into a blue nebula, horribly outnumbered, where I crushed wawe after wawe of his ships.

Finally after 4 hours of gameplay and 3 hours of fighting the last AI... I just couldn't take it anymore and I threw in the towel. I found myself killing 930 ships. Suffice it to say I had an epic ...

had a 8 way ffa as klingons, as i was taking out the borg player to one side of me. started to build an expansion there and the fed player that i now had a boarder with descended onto me with about 20 defiants and 20 sovereigns among the mass of smaller yard ships.

needless to say i had a hard time staying ontop of it, i lost practically my whole fleet (which was pretty large) only thing that saved me was my established starbase and the fact they decided to retreat for some reason. but they soon sent a new rebuilt fleet at it again.
and there was a second fed team doing just as well at the other end of the map.

by the time i got to there base (had to end up leaving it to last) they had 4 star bases and 11 yards in the main base!
