Some AI taunts still don't work
« on: July 04, 2012, 12:10:21 am »
Before the 5.000 days, the AI would play a "failed attack" taunt when you lose a large chunk of ships without doing much damage to a system, such as "Why do you throw your lives away?".  However,  I've noticed that the AI has stopped using this taunt whatsoever.  Even if I suicide thousands of ships into a planet without killing anything, the AI doesn't say anything at all.  Am I missing something?

This bug has existed for quite a while now, and I for one would love to see these taunts return.

"Why do you throw your lives away?"
Before I heard that for the first time I thought the ships were robots (Like the AI's ships). War machines controlled remotely by a commander like in Supreme Commander. I think that would make much more sense since humans have become endangered. Rather than risking thousands of lives they could use robots to do the same.

Supposedly that's true. Maybe the AI doesn't know that though.
I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

I saw it recently for some reason.
