Reply to United Planets--Does "A" Always Win? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I take you're talking about when the UP chairsapient is elected. The position when voting is determined by your influence, so if everybody votes only for themselves they would naturally win, that's why having good relations with other civilizations is important, even minors could tip the balance. In my last game the Krynn who were E won, so no A is not always the victor.

Brad has stated that he wants to add another difficulty above normal where the AI has FOW, but will remember ships it has seen. [quote who="Frogboy" reply="4" id="3556338"] I want to have 2 more difficulty levels. One just sub-normal and 1 between normal and gifted. I don't feel like "normal" is very fair to the AI since it can't load and save games. What I'd like to have at a slightly above normal AI is where it has FOW but once it knows about your s
