How much more difficult is the AI as you set the difficulty rating higher? Also, will all MP games be played on easy?
Lore Weaver: The AI setting basically controls the AI’s drive to win. The AI will basically be different diplomatically. If the AI thinks you are going to win (or on the path to winning) it will declare war on you. The AI wants to destroy human players above all else. The AI can be quite clever at times, but, after playing MoO3 for several months, I’ve noticed some “consistant behaviors” regarding TaskForce creation. In MP games, it’s fun to have good AI’s, you never know when another human player wants to jump in. You don’t want to give a human player a peice of junk empire, unless it’s APOC 🙂 Grand Potato: I think we’ve played most of our MP games on hard. and I’ve noticed that I’ve done much better in Easy games than any harder levels. Nothing I could describe. Reptile: The AI is noticeably tougher at higher levels, but so far I have not seen anything resembling the 50 Doomstar armadas that permeated the endgame of MOO2. This is a good thing. Don’t know about the MP question.
