AI Stress Test

His would be COBRA...

[Sigma]

How about we split the difference and call them the Church of COBRA.

[Green1]

Actually, It would play more to my style. It would have a slight +Planet and +Probe. I would take Fundy, though. Not sure. I have not given it much thought.

[Buster's Uncle]

"Church of The One (formerly COBRA)"?

lol

[Green1]

Crap. Let me smoke a cig then get this AI test done. I thought this would be simple, but this is turning to be about as much work as an AAR.

I will say that from here on out, I am going to be using more community created factions more. Everyone likes to see their hard work at work. i do not blame them. I think it is kind of cool too.

At some point probably 2-3 months from now, I really do need to practice video making. Can not do it with SMAX unfortunately but I could do an Age of Wonders :SM video.  But those LPs take A LOT of talent. I have respect for those guys. It is not just playing with a beer in your hand. You try talking without messing up for 20 minutes to an hour straight. Those guys have real talent. As far as monetization, I would not even thing of monetizing until I had polish down. Can not stand these guys, particularly on TI, MMOchamp, and other PvP/FPS boards that only put up lame videos of screaming music and blowing cooldowns over and over while setting it to make people watch 20 second commercials. Either that or shaky cam with 50 umss ans ahhs is the worst like this one Dust 514 guy.

I probably should begin with the happenings on the Marr-Exterminatus-Antimind front.

There has been a three way war up here.

Marr seems to have taken one of the Antimind bases. However, he is being pressured hard by the Exterminatus who have all elite troops up there.

It is actually really fun to watch but frankly just seeing someone tackle the game is interesting enough regardless of what factions are involved. There are so many different strategies and events that can change the course of the game that all of your AARs have been really interesting and informative, regardless of who is in it.

For instance, I never would have thought that Roze would be such an effective threat.

EDIT: That poor stranded Procyon sea pod!

Indeed.

Well, Marr's conquest did not last long. It was on it's last leg. It stood no chance against a Exterminatus rover. But, that rover will not have it easy either. Antimind will not take this laying down.

[Green1]

Exterminatus takes one of Marr's bases!

Procyon has completed Planetary Transit.

[Green1]

Alright! I can not take it anymore!

Watching these AIs play makes me want to kick their butts!

And no... I want hard mode. No taking over Exterminatus, Procyon, Marr, or Antimind.

Hmm.. but which faction? There is Kil's Tomorrow which has one itty bitty sea base near Marr territory. There is also Jarlwolf's iron Regime that has 3 bases south of the Annihilators...

And by the way, I did alter alphax to make sure time does not run out on us.

Maybe you guys can help me decide.

[Green1]

Tomorrow's position and Iron Regime's position.

[Sigma]

The tomorrow people look like they're in a tighter spot. You'll need to make a pretty desperate escape across an ocean infested with blobs and Prog-Borgs (Prorgs?) in order to achieve some kind of terrestrial foothold.

Done.

Plus, I owe my buddy Kilk a favor for putting his shiny new faction in all this mess in the first place. Not to mention Oblivion's performance in AAR4. Yeah.. that nuke... I am sure he remembers that. Oops.

Okay, turning omniscient mode off. Switching sides

You might try to maybe snatch some Procyon bases to give yourself a foothold, though maybe it won't be a good idea to anger the most teched up faction in the game.
