How much does AI cheat?

misterpiece · 2016-05-22T21:49:31+00:00

I know it does cheat, although I would really like to understand how and how much. The reason behind it is that I would like to play on hard difficulty, just because I assume the AI is smarter, but the cheating is just too obvious and this has always been a major letdown, in all pve games I've been playing lately. Creating a "smart" AI that does not need cheats to be on par is a very challenging task, almost impossible if you consider all the possibilities this game offers, even knowing this I can't seem to enjoy myself when I play a game knowing that the field is not even. Heck, I prefer to handicap myself roleplaying with weird civilization combo to level the field. Has anyone managed to figure out how the cheating changes/scales at the increasing of the difficulty? Anyone aware of some mods changing this, or giving us options to tune it to our liking? Should I just play on normal? If anything past normal is just free resources and such, I might aswell forget hard.

AI also cheats on Normal.

What it cheats?.
first it knows your fleet location and directions, something they can't possible know if Played by Human.
second i got this feeling it have unlimited resources when i destroy their infrastructure it just pop out new stations?.

No. AI can only spend the resources it takes in, same as you. They save stockpiles for war though.
