Alpha 10 AIs are stupid when using transports

from Stardock Forums
All AIs tend to "clean up" their planets when ever they go to war. Eg. they have planet with 5000 million people amd they want to invade planets with 100 and 200 million people, they always send 2 transports with almost 2500 million people leaving their own planets with less than 100 million. As the transports are easy to kill, they ruing their empire with this one stupid attack.

This is with AIs set to 40-75%.

Remember the words of Nigel St. Tufnel of the great heavy metal band Spinal Tap: "There's a fine line between clever and stupid."

Eventually the toughenss of the trnasport will be tied to how many troops are on them.

The idea is that a transport is really a fleet of transports (just represented on screen as one). So the more people on them, the more of them you have. The "cost" of the transport is really just an overhead cost.

Be careful. If you end up loosing to this strategy you may have second thoughts about your opinion.
