Smiting my Allies

October 30, 2007 4:36:26 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
Yesterday I finished playing a single player game in a free for all with 9 AI opponents. It was fun, but there was something not quite right about it....

For almost the whole game I was at peace and trading with 2 other AI players. At the end, I had completely taken 3 star systems, one of my allies had taken one small system, and the three of us shared on system (I presume the one they had started in. I got rid of their less-than-friendly neighbors.)

Anyway, to 'win' the game I had to turn on my allies which made me feel.... evil. I didn't like it.

Not a bug. Not even a complaint, I guess. But maybe an option to call it a win for you if everyone who is hostile to you is pacified.

If everyone left is all allied to each other, it will trigger a win condition. It's possible the AI guys were enemies to each other.

so wait... if blair is the head, does that make craig the thorax?

(because we all know that any companies supported by SD take the shape of an ant)

and yarley doesnt eat pizza, he goes to mcdonalds, buys some burgers and some fries, and then proceeds to batter them with a high-pressure wash of beer, vodka, and my special blend of date-rape drugs until any crevice not already saturated with grease and fat is filled with "yarley's magic potion"

Thanks for the laughs. It was sort of a serious point, though.

Sr. Fraser was right. They were fighting each other. I picked the strongest threat to me first, occupied his home system and one of his other earth worlds with forces they could not contend with, then betrayed him.

I can't remember if during that awful act on my part if the other AI guy broke it off with me or not, but I ended up squashing him too before it ended.

Is there or will there be a way through bullying or bribery to get one player to make peace with another?

Once again, this is a good game already. Nice job devs!

Yes. The new diplomacy and AI interaction system isn't in the game yet (and before anyone asks, it won't be in the initial beta 4 release either).
