I was enjoying the game so far, until ...

I managed to ENJOY the game until now. Even with the bugs, the crappy AI, all the problems, it was enjoyable. I was event thrilled when the great Khan spawned, like it could crush the weak AI empires in no time and be a threat to me.

Well, until i noticed that the khan conquest has stopped, and even that the khanate began to shrink.

I wondered what happened, becase the Khan is still alive, so i used the console to check and I saw.
The horde had still decent fleets, but they just….stay where they are. Doing….Nothing while normal empire fleets destroy its outposts ….

It pretty much ruined immersion in an instant. Will wait until it's duly patched to play again.

Yeah, if I could force the team to sit down and fix one issue it would be the AI's ability to wage war.

It's one thing that the AI isnt as good at the economy as I am, because those are only numbers. They dont contribute much to immersion in my opinion.
But everytime I see them fly a 1k fleet into my 10k fleet or bomb a planet to 0 defenders while having an army idle around in the next system or have overwhelming agressive AIs who hate me just sit next to me and do nothing, the galaxy stops being a place inhabitated by diverse alien empires and becomes an excel spreadsheet, where you try to get bigger numbers.

This is especially bad, if it's a threat like the Khan is supposed to be.

Everytime the Khan spawns in my games so far this patch they ignore the AI and rush every fleet straight at me or for a wormhole that goes straight to me, then I blow up his fleets a few times and he dies off and the place settles down again.
But yeah, wars in general right now I watch so many times the AI have staring contests with each other, both sitting at the exact same war exhaustion doing nothing.

There's one answer to AI problems right now. Not sure if it changes the Khan though.
