Possible idea for update

from Stardock Forums


I've noticed that evil civilizations seem to be more prone to success in the game as is. The Altarians, good as they may be, rarely if ever become powerful forces. It puts the player in a tough spot if he chooses to be good. The Yor and Dregs just seem to always dominate the map for me. I'm wondering if this is just me or is it actually like this for other people.

If it is the latter, I propose an update to "good" AI to be more aggressive militarily against evil races. Keeps them from becoming crippled very early in the game. Just wondering if anyone else noticed this either

I have noticed that no matter the alignment, anyone can dominate...even a minor race!

I think the reason for alignment is for the purpose of opinion....what the other AI's will think of you or each other (and alignment affects what techs you can research). For example, a good civ. isin't gonna be as willing to help out a evil civilization.

Also evil civs have a tendency to focus research on military prod. to dominate the galaxy with their battle fleets. I would speculate the good civs focus more on diplomacy and trade and they lean more toward culture and alliance vics. But that's just what I have seen.

Of course that has never stopped a evil civ from winning culturally, or a good civ from winning through their military.
