Hi there,
i started the game few days ago. I have a match on easy (!) difficulty and play with humans. One of the neighbour systems was caught by a slave raiding party. Now, i still have my hvy crusisers, the AI come over with ONE Battleship with antimatter torpedos, first class point defense and shields. This ship wipes out everything i have so far. On the other sides waits a HUGE army of space harpies. So my game ends here, with no chance of going on.
If this is easy mode, what happens if i try normal? Game over in 30 turns?
Sorry, i am a casual gamer, i want some fun with exploring, i choose easy. I didn't (and want not) expect elite pirates they feel like i go to stop the hun invasion with hundred men. So please, make a easy game easy, not frustating.
cheers
