	What AI's do we (in general) wish for the next ACDG? Tired of ads?

Just in general for now.

Do we want 3 alien AI's, a mix of alien and human AI's, or strictly human AI's

Why is this multi choice?

Voted 3 human ai's. Alien ai's generate no commerce, and so one of Morgan's bonuses is cut out completely.

Small error.
And in current DG there ain't much commerce with AI's. Generally they're considered canon fodder or an easy opponent to get some experience points for your attacking units.

This tempted me to vote for alien, but seriously no. Alien factions are just targets with sign "nerve gas here". They annoy in early game and get leveled in mid-game.

Yeah there's not a lot in this game, but it may be a viable strategy in the next game... Please lets not get rid of the option jsut because it hasn't happened this game

That "annoying" would be the good part, since the teams would need to look further then the next human played faction.

"Annoying" for three techs, then it's nerve gas all the way. Any human AI can be made to be just as annoying if not more so by the CMN.

Then the Alien might be made double so annoying

Serious, it can even bring teams together on a common goal (exterminate the aliens).

And with 3 alien factions, one's bound to be a custom made one. Perhaps an alien seafaction?

Sea aliens? Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Does one of first goals have to be extermination of the AIs?

I've long advocated moving nervegas from it's level 2 (HEC) to one of the level 12 techs, consistent with the time the Progenitors can start building their 6 subspace generators Then it becomes a race for the human factions to exterminate the aliens - prolly targetting those bases where they are trying to build their subspace generators - and the Aliens desperately trying to summon their homeland BattleFleet

Wouldn't help factions lagging behind in the tech tree, and with the best will of the world I can't see a proper tech for putting nervegas pods in.

Prolly retroviral engineering, commensurate with gene warfare (although it's only a level 6 tech)

I voted 3 human Factions. Essentially the CMN has more options using human Factions than with the Progenitors.
BTW maybe we could use 3 Pirate Clone Factions? Along with Googlie's Cruiser Probe Team mod, could make things real interesting!

nerve gas is fine where it is for the morgans, we won't use it unless the ai is really dead set against us.

Actually I was being real serious about the Pirate Clones. In the hands of an adept CMN such as Buster, and armed with your Cruiser Probe Team, they would lend themselves to the AI's natural strategies quite well, and could prove to be an excellent challenge for the human Factions in this game.

As for the Pirate clones:

At least, after having a look at their social settings.

Humans only, further more ORIGINAL Smac factions only so that realy boils down to which of the following 4 (Lal, Yang, Miriam, Zark) do you NOT want in the game.

Oops I clicked on the wrong option. I meant to vote for three human AIs but clicked the first. Could one of the mod change the vote for me?

Don't think it matters much since everybody votes solely for the third option.

My, do we have a lot of xenofoobs here?

You know if each Alien faction was edited to get +50% Defence Bonus then it would rougly Cancel out the Gass and you would be gassing them JUST to maintain parity (which would seem apropriate as these things are suposed to be powerfull). That way you dont have to push Gass up in the tec tree as Googlie sugjests.

Never the less not something to worry about realy as it looks like we will have an alien free game.

I say we have Miram, Yang, and Lal. Miram just so we all have someone to pick on; Yang because he won the last game ; and Lal becuase I couldn't think of anybody else at the time.
