AI only expanded to 5 panets on Gigantic Map

from Stardock Forums
I have a save game if you would like to see it. Using beta 3Z1, I am playing on a Gigantic Map with Average AI. The AI seems to have stopped expanding after colonizing 5 planets. I have been able to spread across the galaxy uncontested.

Give me a link to email if you would like a copy of the save game.

Later.

This has to be something that is triggered by a specific cause. I have just started a gigantic galaxy with planet density set to "everywhere" and all of the races I have met so far are trying to expand. I did notice that they don't have as many colony ships built and in storage as before, but Brad said the AI was going to do a better job of selecting what ships to build. He also said he was toning down the AIs, which is visible on my game.

I would send the game to either Cari at [email protected] and then, since Brad tends to be around on weekends and the AI is his code, I would send another copy to him at [email protected] ... But I would also try another game and see if it persists, or if you can tie it down to a specific event.

I'm bumping this becuase it happend again in two more games and I haven't really seen it addressed. (I apologize if it has!)

It's not that the AI doesn't expand past 5 planets. But it seems to take them too long to do it. In the 3 games on Gigantic maps I have played, I have been able to expand across the map before the AI can get more than 5 planets. (Average AI)

BTW- I did send save game files from the first game. Not sure If SD got them or if it helped.
