Quote:As one of the many people this article got to buy the game, I *did* have an enemy once realize that I was getting set up to invade them. (And in fact, it made a comment about how maybe from playing other games, I'd think it wouldn't notice...)
Kind of like yesterday when the AI let me place my custom built backstabber and ally invader class ships all over his territory.
I think for the others, my ships were just all massing outside of their sensor range. And friendly civs don't seem to mind too much if ships are just passing through their space.
Now, the problem I've seen so far is that the AI isn't very good at choosing planetary improvements effectively. The altairians in the game I'm playing now have much more powerful ships than I do, but they don't have their production focused enough to nearly keep up with me, getting a new fleet every few turns.
Hopefully the AI at higher levels does a better job of this.
