AI War Strategy Discussion / Capturing Structures and other questions...
« on: January 15, 2012, 10:56:10 AM »
Hello Sirs.
Well I purchased this game just after xmas and have spent around 19 hours on a 80 planet map with the AI difficulty set to 7. I'm starting to wonder if I should just call it quits on the map and start again. I've 13 planets and my AI progress is at 290.
I just jumped into the game and kind of learnt as I went. I'm finding that I'm constantly fighting and defending my current planets, rather than making any further progress so I'm not sure if it is worth fighting on.
I'd like to know how exactly you capture the advanced factories and other captures structures. What are the mechanics around this?
Is there anything I can do to slowdown the number of ships I'm facing? If I remove guard posts at a planet for example, and all the structures, but not the command post, will that cut down the total number of fighters I'm up against, or will they just be sent from someplace else?
How many data centres should I expect to find on my map? If I reduce my AI progress, will it reduce the number of ships I'm facing, or does it just mean I have more of a buffer before it gets any closer to the mark 3 wave ships?
Thanks for any help.
