Air Superiority and the AI
« on: November 18, 2014, 02:34:04 pm »
Hello all,

I have been playing SMAC with Kyrub's patch, but I am not entirely clear on two things:

Does the AI actually not build interceptors (i.e., aircraft with air superiority)? It does build its defensive units to be AAA but it still is a bit painful when I can take out his 10+ aircraft stack without any resistance.

Secondly, does the AI get combat bonuses at higher difficulty levels? I have noticed my own interceptors scrambling at times are useless against his because of his superior 'strength' rating... or is this the bug I saw mentioned somewhere, that the attack/defence rating for scrambling units are off? As it happens now my units scramble and are eradicated, leaving a base behind with a perfect AAA defence unit which saw no action.

I do love this game to bits but I wish the AI was not so dimwitted, despite Kyrub's very evident improvements.

Perhaps the true solution would be to play against humans, but that is a matter for me to negotiate ;lal;

To understand a thing is to know the manner by which it might be destroyed. A fundamental understanding of the basic building-blocks of the Universe is essential, then, to the total destruction of everything.
