AI War Strategy Discussion / What to do next?

« on: August 15, 2011, 05:32:53 AM »

So, I watched all the video tutorials, read most articles on the Wiki and completed every tutorial. I'm now doing my first campaign versus 2 level 6 AI's.
I'm a bit unsure how to proceed. Here's a screenshot of the galaxy map: (click to enlarge)

The P9 planet on the bottom right corner contains one AI Home Command Station. It is, obviously, protected by Mark V ships. Both P8 planets adjacent to it have Mark IV ships.
I already found an Advanced Research Station, however, my army is still pretty weak (Mark II Bombers and Fighters).
There's a large "snake" connection of planets at the top, maybe I could capture those and set up a strong defense at the end of the "snake"? I'm a bit worried about the AI Progress getting too high though. As of now I have four planets where the AI can attack me. Maybe I should do some gate raids first?

As you can see I have one scout on some planets. I tried to send Scout starships + Scout M2 blobs everywhere but usually they died after 2-3 hops.

I also have way too many resources 

If this isn't enough information, well, ask away . I can always provide you with more screens/info.

Thanks in advance!

AI War / Two questions

« on: July 11, 2011, 03:02:55 AM »

Since I'm new here, hi

I bought AI War a few days ago and I absolutely love it. However, I ran into two problems during the tutorials.

1) Quite often I can't select anything. My cursos reads "Left-Shift" and as soon as I press Left Shift, it's fixed. But it's quite annoying having to press Left Shift so often, so how do I prevent this from happening?
2) During the campaign tutorial, I'm at the part where I need to raid (destroy) a warp gate. I got two human raid starships and a transport ship but I can't figure out how to actually destroy them. Is there some kind of building that I need to destroy? I tried the Wiki and Google but couldn't find the answer.

Oh and one more thing. My resources are usually maxed but I don't really know what to do with all those resources. I already have a main fleet of 500 ships and plenty of turrets. So, any idea's?

Thanks in advance!
