AI War:Resource Defense
How Do I Defend Against The AI Destroying All My Resources?
Q: With AI players of difficulty 6 and up, the AIs frequently send in massive numbers of enemies and destroy all of my undefended resources. I don't have enough (or strong enough) turrets to defend ALL of my resources on every planet. I seem to be stuck chasing the AI ships around, which is really hard when they send something like Raiders if I don't have ships that are that fast. So far I've been rebuilding my metal and crystal harvesters a LOT.
A: f you find this happening to yourself, then you aren't building an effective perimeter. There are basically two ways to do this: 1) build a perimeter on your side of the hostile wormhole, or 2) destroy the AI's warp gates on the other side of all the hostile wormholes. Building a perimeter on your side of the wormhole is covered here: How Do I Barricade A Wormhole?. Destroying the AI's warp gates is covered here: How Do I Prevent Enemies From Sending Waves Against A Planet?.
