[Help] Alright you AIP junkies(lol)...

[086goinfast]

Lets see how streamlined my AIPs could be.

Lets start out with the largest of my AIP sets...the superside tech AIP. Since all four races build the exact same structures all of the other eleven look exactly like this one but, im pretty sure I will change that. The major thing right now is the lack of officer upgrades though I will be changing that situation around soon.

You can't streamline a brick.

If the AI has to build 4 sets of EVERYTHING then it's going to burn through it's resources (and available space) very quickly, and short of removing 3 races from the build list your pretty stuck with that.

You can, but then it's a rock. :lol:

couldnt you then just increase the space given to the AI (guess you can set the resources to max when starting the map) i mean that would look amazing you and you base vs this massive fleet and huge amount of bases brings a tear just thinkin about it

Oh, yeah I just got a really good idea for what I could do with the tic-tack-toe map hehehe.
