6 Remember that with terraform hard-disabled you can't even flatten ground to place buildings, if the campaign is any guide. Not sure if the AI knows how to do this for itself.

10 [quote]Otherwise - following you logic, I have super fun creating 1 metaloenergy cost unit that blows up all enemy units, instantly. what evidence you have on the contrary?

15 At first, it seems nice that you try to have coherent design and insight re changing/implementing things. After 3th long "reasoning" discussion about obvious, absolutely basic common sense things, it gets super-tiresome and mana draining.[/quote] 15 At first, it seems nice that you try to have coherent design and insight re changing/implementing things.

16 Sometimes what appears to you (or to somebody else, sometimes even GoogleFrog) to be "obvious" and "common sense" can be "wrong for subtle reasons"... if not "absolutely daft". 16 Sometimes what appears to you (or to somebody else, sometimes even GoogleFrog) to be "obvious" and "common sense" can be "wrong for subtle reasons"... if not "absolutely daft".

18 It tends towards the "absolutely daft" end of the scale when you add hidden corollaries (as you in particular appear to do often). "AI gets broken by terraform, lets do something to fix it" is a different statement to "AI gets broken by terraform, let's ban terraform". Not all cures for a problem are necessarily better than the original problem. 18 It tends towards the "absolutely daft" end of the scale when you add hidden corollaries (as you in particular appear to do often).
