Borg Bug?

posted on August 4th, 2009, 4:05 pm

Hey guys,

Heres the problem:

I go into a game with the borg on the opposing team expecting a large borg armada to come and attempt to defeat me. But, the borg take an incredibly long time to 'grow', i timed 21 minutes for it to build a shipyard! They litterally build an incubation center and construction node and then stop constructing..

Is this normal? Just that when i had Romulans on the team with the borg it took a mere 30 seconds to constuct a shipyard and have a handful of ships constructed...

Thanks.

Are you playing with infinite resources ?

infinate resources somehow messes the ai up try again wit double and wacth the borg go

Oh yeah. On double, you'll be getting Assimilators and Cubes in no time.

infinite resources should be done away with completely i mean wheres the fun if you can just build loads of ship yards and then build endless supplies of ships or is it your afraid of the merciless borg ai lol

Noooo! please Devs Don't listen to him!!  1 it is still fun to slaughter some AI wen set on infinate, and 2, if I want to test some tech or ship out, with out useing map editor, I use  that setting.  Just because a setting isn't used much, doesn't mean you should take it out. 

And any way, it would take alot of work to dissable that setting.

I think seeing the map covered in cubes and then seeing your enemy crushed out of existance is tones of fun

if i want to try something i set ai to easy lol the problem being on infinate resources especially wit the feds who only have 5 major structures you could just fill your base with shipyards and easily out produce the ai meaning you will win everytime without much trouble wheres the challenge in that

ell don't do that.  Go against 7 AI merciless on the same team.  Then you will need the infinite reasourses just to stay alive. :guns:

now i would love to see someone beat 7 meciless ai all teamed together lol

like I said.  Infinate reasourses, and free tech, and it is still a challenge.    Doable, but a challenge none the less.

only when in that positon would i say its worth using infinate resources but not free tech i mean if you have to research so does the ai and it wont cost you but uf you play with no teams or 1 on 1 just use normal or double for the added challenge

eh, whatever suits your fancy.  There isn't alot of research to be done, but the AI can do several things at once, so with research they have an advantage.

i dont see how they have any advantage as its likely they will research the same things at the same time
