When you know the AI is just Sqrewing with you.

Hahaha, so, here's a good one. Started a dificulty 8 dual-homeworld game. Teleport raiders and teleport battle stations. Hilariously got a gravity driller AI for one of my AI's...

That said, everything was fairly par for the course until:


For reference, the average 3-part raid wave, generally was about 900-1800 ships at this point in the game.
(Or 1800-3600... if both AI's decided to hit me at once. As they oh so love doing.)

So this CPA was seriously nothing. Well. Except a good laugh.

(If you are wondering about my excessive resource stores btw, I was preparing at the time to watch 90% of my forces die most-likely in an attack.)

Yeah, I've noticed that on higher difficulties AI CPAs don't seem to be anywhere near as large as typical waves. That said, their real threat is from the multiple directions they can come at you from.

XD I was more referring to the number. 1337.

That said they tend to usually come from one direction in my experience. Though part of that is how I tend to set up in the galaxy.

I don't think leet speak is a secondary language on this particular forum.

Lol, didn't even notice the size of the threat. If it's below 3-4k, I don't really notice it usually, since the map types i prefer allow me to make the most use of choke points
