AI cheats and Dominion dominates

posted on May 22nd, 2009, 8:07 am

the first, i guess it's a bug:
The AI always knows where my ships are. It attacks always the nearest vessel, also if it shouldn't know, where my vessels are.


the second, i don't know, if it is a real problem, because it could be, that you say: the dominion fights against the hole alpha quadrant, so it is correct, that it dominats all battles.
i played a few times 1x1x1x1 and 2x2x2x2 to observe the AI.
races(romies, fed, klingons & dom)

the dominion grows like weeds and builds a lot of battle ships. more than all others. maybe the prices of the battle ships are too low?

I noticed the dominion seems to have a lot more strength, I played against a single AI Medium Dominion, with an AI Medium Klingon as an ally, and still lost to the doms, they really do seem to grow like weeds

I had the same problem a few minutes left 

I'd play as  with two (not allied) opponent. One ist the Dominion and the othe the federation.

So a hugh fleet of dominion vessels come in and destroyed all ships and buildings.

My base was down right ... 

Look at the screenshot

Change the AI resource costs and build time, it makes them build slower.

After doing that, I could actually keep up with their ship building usually.

Yes, thats right. But then AI never build hugh batteships only small vessels

Really? I still get spammed by Battleships, Negh'Vars, Sovereigns and everything else. They just don't come in instant-kill numbers.

you may also want to use a easy AI, as she will then have the same resource regulations like a human player

A early attack against dominion Ressource Collector is also helpful, if you dont let them expand they wont build so many ships. The biggest weaknes from the Dominion are there Prototypes always try to destoy them so they cant produce their ships.  I prefer cloaked ship for supriseyourprototypeisgonemissions
