Bothawui actually, but the AI versions of factions start with more planets than the player does. Basically, leading Scienticians did studies which found an increase of over 45% more fun.

The technical reasons, for those who don't trust said Scienticians, there are 2 main reasons:
1. The AI will give up if it feels like the odds are too stacked against it. At the very least it'd just make the GC boring because nobody could get established for a long time, which means the player just deals with a bunch of boring battles all game.

2. The EaW control freeze bug, would happen much sooner if the number of times pkanets switched hands/number of units that would need to get destroyed went up that much higher.

I miss being able to build Katana Dreadnaughts in Essence and Art of War, any way we can change that?

Wouldn't that just defy the point of adding the Katana Fleet mission?

There's no mission in Essence and Art of War.

The PA's Storm Commando's rifles could use a damage boost. Infiltrators can one shot storm commandos but the reverse isn't true. Infuriating...recommend their damage output be equalized.

So that same GC Ive been playing where the IR threw away Thrawn as soon as they got him. *I am juggling between like 10 different games* I got back to it, started advancing, took Corellia and Kuat in a 1-2 punch with two fleets. Then Corulag, shortly followed by Coruscant itself. By then I was wondering why I hadnt been attacked by the Eclipse, well the IR was content with just keeping Palpatine on Byss sitting on the ground. So thats where he died. Thinking now though after I took Corulag the IR ai pretty much gave up. They only have a few planets left, what I ddnt take the Penstar Allignment took from them.

ISD tractor beam ability can't target corvettes Is this intentional? Those quick little bastards seem the perfect target for the tractors. If it's a bug/oversight, can this be addressed in hotfix 2?

So any chance the freeze bug will get fixed to allow 4 faction galactic AI in AOW?

tlmiller · « **Reply #28 on:** September 05, 2012, 09:16:03 AM »

There's no way for the team to fix the freeze bug. They just do their best to avoid it. It's in the game itself, the only way would be to have whoever it is that owns the rights to the game engine to suddenly decide to fix it.

I agree on the Palpatine part, I hate seizing him stuck on the ground( I want to fight the Eclispe)

In FTGU, only YOU start with 1 planet. The AI starts with more than 1, or the way the AI works it wouldn't bother building anything and would just set there and let you walk all over it.

The AI has always been cowardly and predictable. It cannot defeat sentience.

Actually I agree with this. Gilzean's are fairly tough and their damage output is through the roof. They're also too cheap at 700 creds (cheaper than RFTs). I'd recommend nerfing them via either a rate of fire decrease or making them more fragile.

Yeah I agree, I forgot to mention this back in beta, the Gilzean basically makes building the MMT pointless. I also felt the MMT needed a bit of a buff back then, but I do not know if this is still the case, or if with the addition of the Gilzean you guys felt it was to become more of an artillery combat unit.

i let my son play it yesterday on recruit and he was dead in 10 minutes i tried it to i dont think the ai know what recruit or admiral means its either me or a bug great game but love it but i learnt some thing from ea just because it looks good does not mean its a good game

just one question why does it take 12 minutes to fire the imperial ground to air connon on a exicutor and it only loses like 1 maybe no thing at all in damage?

If I am mistaken and its in AoW then sorry but if I read this right there is no katana mission in Art of War for any faction(playing new republic) You mean to tell me the brutal fights and ass woopings and zerg rushes of capital ships and overunning and bitter victorys and defeats at the hands of an ai with a limitless checkbook to get to myrkyr have all being for nothing?! Are you f***ing kidding me?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Under different circumstances I would not be so bent of of shape about it, but if I knew this fact earlier id have thrown talon karrde to the wolves long ago, wont doit until I get confirmation that aow has no katana dreadnaught access though, not when I am right there.

Yeah, the manual lists where every mission or reward is available as well so if you're wondering about a specific mission, that's a good place to check.

Expletive · « **Reply #37 on:** September 17, 2012, 12:46:24 PM »

Oh you mean from that online pdf file I cant read because of third party apps? That manual?

That or the PDF that's included with the mod install.

Third party apps? Adobe Acrobat Reader is a pretty common program that usually comes pre-installed on most computers anyway.
