Missiles and AI

March 25, 2003 7:20 AM from

The fifth gameplay example "Mirror Universe" is the first one featuring the BonusPak, including missiles. Now from the screenshots I saw I conclude that only Frogboy himself built missiles.
That leads me to the question if the AI is able to employ new game features. Does the BonusPak upgrade the AI in order to let it use said features, or will this only be adressed in the major patches? Or won't the AI be upgraded at all, but you have to download AIs from the metaverse to properly employ new techs and such?

Yes it does upgrade, during one of my games I had a severe encounter with the Drengins, I had 4 starbases along the border to them and within 5 turns after the declaration of war, all my starbases had been blown up by Drengin Anti-Matter Missiles!

The AI will use any new ships, impreovements or technologies added to the game. It see the same files you do and makes it's decisions. Therefore if someone changes they're ships to make a new all powerful cheap ship the AI will also build it!

Awesome. This AI manages to surprise me even though I haven't played yet. I can't wait!
