I'm ok with that, it's more fun! (if not, an AI Empire (or human) surrounded only by friends can't expand)
And yep, the lag is still horrible. Every 1.1.2xxx tick is slow, every peace deal is very slow, every territory change is slow... ugh
Its more they are claiming territory that is NOT adjacent to a wormhole or their Territory, so in a war, they wouldn't be able to use the jump gate to attack.
--reply to previous post/comment---
In essence they are claiming territory they cannot even get too efficiently or practically at all.
SINCE the territory they claimed is NOT near my borders and is NOT near their borders either.
It doesn't fit the normal AI programming or even basic tactics of conquering and maintaining a way to commute/supply that area (movement patterns).
The devs did update the Beta patch again, and i am not getting this odd error anymore.
So at least it was fixed, then again that was a game in progress before the first beta patch i installed.
*****All my new games setup to test the patch have showed only the Jump drive issue so far and the
Fleet Repair Notice SPAM every time a New Ship joins a Docked Fleet at a Starbase.
---Side note-----
I did get an odd issue with my Spiritual Race/empire that went Psychic had an issue that after i Gene Alter'ed them I only get 1/3 of my leaders as Psychic even tho my entire Race is.
This may be an issue due to my luck at getting events that increased my Race max age alot, I ended up with leaders that lived about 150 to 190 years in age by end game.
