CHEAP "competitive" APOLLO

[jokii]

After a while I decided to try again CivBE, now with new patch.

I started apollo game, in the middle of peninsula surrounded with miasma and whole bunch of frenzied aliens. So I have gone with science straight to ultrasonic fence...

Long story short, 50+ turns after building fence I am still waiting for reverse polarity quest. My four trade convoys were waited, apparently, for the "game over".
I mean, how much I need to fall behind to get this quest ?

Anyway, this is really cheap way to make the game "competitive" on apollo difficulty.

It is unfortunate, again, someone is obviously incapable to make real competitive AI.

I've had this in one of the games I played on a lower level, so it's not one of the apollo perks for the AI. Just bad luck.

Just a bad roll of the die, don't take it so personal!

 

[CivScientist]

It is annoying sometimes that so much of what makes the game easy or hard at any level is random and out of your control

To be honest, I think the real problem here is that the quest reward is just too good.
