Most developers overcome the Artificial Insanity by letting the AI cheat. Yep, that describes a game's AI perfectly. Insanity is to repeat a process over and over expecting a different result. Definitely.ĪI.Artificial Intelligence or Artificial Insanity. There is also no reason you can't avoid tech trading/selling and all found ships can immediately be blown up.Ĭan someone win that type of game? Possibly. Much more can be done but these I think are essential for hardest. they should start with your homeworld as HARSH and starting technology, and other empires at tech level 7 and excellent homeworlds. Please make an Ultra-Hard difficulty for the expansion. but If you have the possibilities to use this functions you should use it. If you play with autotax and autodesign then the game gets a little bit harder. Or you just invade colononies without declaring war. The balance is destroyed if you found capital ships. as I showed in my AAR the hardest possible start conditions cant stop a player with some experience.
