WHA?!?! I didn't see this coming from the AI

[Zaeon]

I was just playing a casual game today when a crappy rebel fleet shows up around chandrilla (my big shipyard center) defeat the 50 or so defender squadrons there and promply toast all my shipyards. needlessly to say, I was annoyed. So I staion one of my larger fleets ther and fortify it with SSD Thrawn . I then build ten esp. droids and send them to each planet in the sector (all in my control). a few days later I almost crap my pants when I see rebel fleet going to 8 out of the ten planets. Here's the kicker though, while I thought it was bad that ALL 8 fleets were going to arrive within 15 days of each other , PLUS EACH fleet had at least two dauntless cruisers in it. I only had my coresant defence fleet and the thrawn fleet in range. Some important plantes were all fried. I could see maybe a human player doing this, but the stOOpid AI has never been this clever, any insight?

Perhaps you have the copy of the game that we are all after the legendary 'AI Intelligence Learning Mod'.

 

Only one copy was ever produced and sent out secretly by LucasArts, and now Rebellion players endlessly scour the Galaxy in search of it

Enjoy. It's moments like this that still make the game fun. Years ago, aware of a Death Star over Coruscant, I took my grand 'Republic Fleet' to Gorman, only to discover to my horror the AI had built to of the buggers.

 

I fled.
