me too AI, i am the same, taking planets

i was taking this mod off, i like the other mod, republic of war,

The AI cheats in lots of mods. The content is great in these mods but the AI is so poorly programmed. It sounds like the AI is cheating.

please fix the AI

Seriously dont get why there is an easy difficulty. I choose this option because i like to enjoy using all the units. and yet, it feels like its hard difficulty from vanilla. Easy is meant for the laid back players and yet the entirety of the mod devs like to shaft us.... Why is that?

weird, for me the seperatists go out on a full assault at first, but after beating them back using a combination of dummy thicc fleets and tracking them via spies, i stopped them attacking entirely

I played this on hard on the largest GC and found it incredibly easy. The AI doesn't even attack until week 10, you could have half the map by then if you wanted given all your starting units.
For those that find this hard, pause more, build up your economy early on, and use your OP heroes to just take whereever you like with stealth raids.
