Just played my first DA suisidal game, Gigantic' TechTrading OFF' 9 rivals' everything common' Max cpu usage. During the course of my conquest of the civilization known as the Drath Legion, I encountered one of the best planet I've ever seen, Skobo II, a class 17, with a +700% industry bonus tile, a +700% research bonus tile, 2 aproval bonus tiles and two +300% industry bonus tile...pretty much everything you need are out there. I think every human being with basic understanding of the game mechanics will make the same constructing list on this planet: every improvement that matches the bonus, except for the 2 aproval bonus tiles maybe. But those lizards, what are they thinking? They build two farms on the aproval tiles, and a industrial capital on the Percuser(I'm sure this is not the right spelling) library, a zero G sports areana on the +700 industry, and a factory on the +300 one.(Sorry about grammer and spelling etc, really difficult for me to write in English)

I can't understand this. It's the highest Difficulty level, their AI should be Ultimate, yet they made such ridiculous planetary management. I mean, no one says you have to match the improvement buildings to the tile bonus, for instance during some long games, when I have researched every single tech I need, I will just reorganize all my planets and change all the labs to factories or markets. But the thing the Drath did was clearly not the case, it's still the early stage of the game and everyone has just started to build their army, that planet, if managed correctly, is a huge advantage over anyone else.

Have anyone experienced similar things? This totally ruined my expectations about the DA expension, for a single player only strategy game there's nothing more important than artifical slave...  artifical intelligence.
