Situation: Hard Difficulty, 2 Computer players, Small cluster, many medium starlanes.
I started this game with a stock Cynoid empire and quickly scoured the galaxy for habitual planets. Just my luck that I could only find a few green 1 and 2 planets while we made contact with the Tachindi Empire. Relations went bad, because we hate bugs and its up there with glitches and rust, and both empires found themselves in a war. The Tachidi launched frigates at my frontier worlds, and the lone Eagle Attack ship at Bolo failed to prevent the Indirect squadron from bombing Bolo. Bolo is lost and another hostile fleet arrived at Myrinda to blockade the planet. I needed the minerals at that planet and my industry suffered a setback. I designed the Salamander Long Range frigates and built 8 of them over a period of ten turns. Just my luck that the 2 empire had to be the dreaded Harvesters. Again, relations were sour, and I was forced to declare an embargo on them. They responded by sending two Destroyer to attack the Firas colony. They blockaded the planet until the Salamanders arrived, but half the fleet was destroyed and the others are severely damaged. The Tachidi arrived at my homeworld with Carriers and Indirect destroyers but my 6 Falcon class frigates blew them away. This is just on turn 103 butr I could see that I just lost the game because the Tachidi have 13 worlds and the Harvesters have 8 worlds and they just launched a cruiser. Now where did they say that the A.I. fails to attack? They're doing awfully well in destroying whats left of my empire.

Heh...I have been losing, although never stuck around to lose. Just was like 50% behind in tech with fewer planets. Funny, I was having more difficulty on the easy level than the medium, although I do not know if that is because I learned more or the AI played differently. On Medium, I have either held my own or been way ahead overall......

Good to hear you guys are losing. Now here is the big question - At any time did the AI invade and take over your worlds with ground forces?

Hmm, strange that the A.I., after launching that cruiser, gave me enough time to create five Asp class frigate. The asp blew away the cruiser, missiles and close range fusion beams are very effecitve, but the A.I. seems to be stagnated. Once they get that aggression fix, I'll test it on this game.

So far I have ONLY been attacked on worlds that had no planetary defense, (i.e. Beam, Missile, Fighter.)otherwise I am in blockade city. (I have not been building orbitals, but do have some system ships.) I have now won 4 straight games (sole survivor on all) 1 on easy, 1 on hard, 2 on impossible.

From what I've been reading that appears to be quite an achievement. I haven't managed to do it myself yet. Personally, I do prefer winning but I'd rather have it with a sense of accomplishment. Thanks for sharing your experience.
