Same here, it's a little tough to prepare defenses and counters.

really tho it makes me have to spend paycheck to paycheck just too rebuild what i lose its kinda annoying

What difficulty are you playing on?

@Corey Loses, I'm playing on Captain difficulty. I have not yet tried playing on recruit or admiral.

Edit: I'm glad it's not just me having this issue.

medium setting here, i haven't touched eaw for many years until about a week ago so getting used to it again

I tried playing both medium and easy and i got spamed back to stone age.

For me the empire always wins, I tried both sides and they always win they both are medium I even gave myself one hard AI and still lost you can say if I am bad but please balance with Ai, I have no friends so.

I have it too with every GC i play. I set up the planets i need to defend with everything i got. the first 3 attacks i can b--ch slap away easily, no problem there, but eventually they just keep attacking every 2 to 5 minutes, that is not enough time to rebuild the losses.

Same thing with the one planet GC, I get a decent hold (5 planets or so), build up every planet i need to defend, have a decent ammount of ships (mostly corvettes, frigates and carriers because i dont have a capital shipyard yet), but then the AI spam comes along the new republic with fighters and bomber spam (is expected because, republic.) every imperial faction with SD SSD and world devistators.

when i beat the first 3 waves of the attacks, i always think they are done for, but 3 minutes later they come again with a fleet twice as large. that results in me being unable to have a good foothold because of the spam that happens to me (and many others) in every GC we play.

Don't get me wrong here, i love this mod, and it is (in my opinion) the best mod for this game, but the AI spam in the GC's somewhat ruins the fun.

If something could be done about the AI getting so OP, we would highly appriciate it.

but other than that, i love the mod and I can't wait for Fall of the Republic ^^

i can manage playing the hand because their planets are sort of protected by two chokeholds from which i can expand. any other faction and its bye bye

aye, thats my problem, as EoTH it easy because the chokepoins you can have, but the other factions, dont even try

Well it's not so much that the AI is OP its just that it spams out so many attacks that it gets annoying. For example in my OP as the Empire i was able to hold ground and defeat the a.i whereever i had a fleet. But after the sixth or eighth attack in a row i just got tired of it because i could do nothing else by that point. didnt even have enough time to scroll across the galaxy before getting attacked again.

i think thats how it is for all of us. i usually stop playing the GC because of it, as i just cant continue on

Are you sure you did not accidentally activate cruel AI? Because other than that AI has roughly the same build times and income as you do (less on recruit).
If you are passive and wait for AI to come then they will gather their entire force and come crush you, that's how it is, so passive gameplay is not recommended.
Also don't just take all engagements when you can't take the losses, retreat and then come back once AI sends some forces away.

i do expand rather quickly, build up a bit and expand again, i never turn "cruel AI" on never

What gc are you playing?
