Author Topic:   The horrible bases of the AI

In quite a number of games (2.0 version) I believe that the computer handles the base management quite mediocre. I am able to create humongous metropols with many, many citizens and lots of minerals being produced. I also specialize some of my bases depending on their location. The computer, however, seems to be aiming at some sort of average "a bit of everything" bases that are never going to be very efficient.

I noticed that. The AI is very reluctant to build base facilities other than the ones necessary to avoid Drone Riots. Sometimes AI bases stay at very low populations because they are so poorly situated, maybe the AI destroys facilities at bases that will be overrun before you get the chance to invade. In my most recent game Hive bases I conquered had a Command Centre and Recreation Commons at most.
