The objective of this study is to discover if the AI responds to player threat. Is it a 2-player game in this sense, or is it just several entities playing 1-player games?



Game setup (v0.30.3):

Two players, Me as United Empire, AI as Hisshio.

Map is huge disc, with low wormholes and high star connectivity.

Difficulty set to Impossible, speed to Fast.

Piracy set to Insane, victory conditions: Only Supremacy

Galaxy seed: 123456789



And holy crap, home system starts with Titanium-70(1) AND Redsang(3). Heroes suck though.

BTW, grats to the AI for colonizing procedures. I had a system under AI control, set to Balanced Development. It was doing Ind->Dust until it reached population 18/19, then it switched to colonize a planet. Good thinking there.
