3.0.6 Borg AI

I was playing against a hard Borg AI, hoping to turtle and fight off the Borg swarms for a bit. Anyway, things went a bit badly for me, and this fleet :



broke through my defenses and headed to my starbase. Then they just stopped. Just outside of their weapons range. My topedo platforms managed to kill a cube before they moved again. That took about 5 minutes.

Then they all started moving at once and wiped everything out. Bah.

not just borg AI, but all races.

If ure playing against AI hard it is spam central.

try AI medium u'll find it more balance.

Any idea about why they would take a 5 minute breather though?

That is what I play on normally.  However, the new Borg AI is truly epic!!!  I have managed to build 14 starbases in a row with some 40 torpedo launchers addressed with them.  The Borg still destroyed EVERYTHING! I kind of liked that, but still, how did the AI build so much so fast?  I faced more that 100 Borg cubs.  I might destroy 30 or 40 of them before I am wiped out.  Truly EPIC!

The Borg AIs from all Players have merged into One Collective, One Will...

The Borg were programmed to good, they turned against theire Creators and now seek revenge...

Arrg, they always do that.  And taking out their moon sets does nothing. They Just don't stop!  Any way I found the easy way to beat them on default settings is one to play as klingons and smap the heck out of them, or two cheat.

Really? I found that as the Dominion I was pulverizing them with Breen ships, V-15 Dreadnaughts, Battleships, and everythng using every special weapon I had and still lost!

The trick with the AI is to take em out early. Still, you can win with Dominion right now just using Bugs. Generally multiplayer strategies don't work well against the AI--spamming one low ship class can take out an AI early game no problem

Hmm, I haven't played as the dominion in the new patch.  Ill try that I hope you are Right.

Borg AI?  Ideally you'll kill it in the first 5-10 minutes.  Otherwise, it turns into a nightmare.  It builds numbers of ships, on the cheap and fast, that you just can't compete with.

I have confirmed that I can beat the Dominion with the Federation on hard.  It is the Borg that is insane.  Just got the new patch.  I will see how the Borg will react to this new patch on "insane" settings.
