OMG THAT WAS HARD!!!!

Normally I am fairly quick at taking over planets, just ask the people I've managed to coop with(I think it was Thud17).

But I played  a game with a Starfleet Commander and a Golemite(havent seen a single golem yet, but I'm not really all that far), and it took me a few hours to finaly knock out its stupid AI Force Fields!!!!

So I have one question, does the number of units you have on a planet affect the reinforcements a planet recieves? Cuz every time I tried brute force they only got larger in number. But when I finaly decided to do some stealth operations, they were few in number.

Yes, moving your full fleet in alerts them, and all adjacent planets..

If you do sufficiently small strikes it might not alert the planet and not adjacent ones, meaning you can go under the radar for a while, if you however destroy any vital building (command station) then all other adjacent planets go into full alert...

But besides that more ships you have, does not mean more ships for the AI. the Reinforcements of the AI are something calculated from Progression + Difficulty + Planet Count * Player Number (i think something like that ,p)

So.. more planets will cause more reinforcements, more progression and higher difficulty too, and every additional player doubles the threat. ^^
