How to make the game harder

[Teepu]

I don't see difficulty settings and every time I play I just out expand the AI until I am far too powerful for them to even stand a chance against me.

right now this early i alpha you have to self limit. try never building a colony, or not useing motherships, or both. declare war on the ai the moment you see them.

pray they dont use my gameplay as the hard mode computer =P

Some AI improvements are coming very soon in the testing branch. This first pass should increase the game challenge level by fixing some issues holding the default AI back currently.

declare war on the ai the moment you see them.

Declaring war on the ai immediately is good advice if you want more of a resistance.

That's a great idea! In later stages we will be adding the different AI planners (personalities), if you define a distinct method and it's AI adaptable we could make the 'Fairin advisor (strategist)' or the 'fairin tactician' based on that..
