The AI is cheating in a big way
Just a moment before I got the message that rift thing was detected.. so I clicked on the map.. and a few seconds after I looked *poof* there's like 30 planetary destroyers above it.. in an instant. they spawned from the factorything like popcorn
In a previous skirmish I had an AI as NOD spamming tanks out of the factory like it was water running from a tap, or like a snake coming out of the factory.... I wish I had such factories..
There's no way any AI can have this many planetary destroyers using normal rules in the time it took me to get my base up
I don't know if that is common practice in the game for the AI ( I don;t do that many skirmishes, I just played the game a lot) , but I'm not digging that
