How to get rid of cheating AI

Hey Guys.

Im playing SIngleplayer, biggest map with lots of AI. And at some Point AI seems to get like 500.000-1.000.000 Credits and builds like 650+ships while i playing good and have like 30 ships. So after like, i dont know, mb 200-300 turns AI is just impossible to beat cause they obviously cheat.

Its annoying af, and no fun to play at all. (AI btw is on easy)...

Can someone help me with that?

Got a save game of the AI getting this 500k-1m credits? Sounds like a bug.

Playing with the latests version 3.7?

Well, 30 ships after 200-300 turns, you forgot to build stuff :)

Build Port of Calls on every planet and max tourism.   You don't have to research Interstellar tourism.   It's obviously a serious balance bug, but you can fight fire with fire--the Port of Calls will give you 1 million credits, too.

Um, if you don't research Interstellar Tourism, you don't get the Port of Call.  And then, you only get one per civ, in the latest version.

>Even tho, i tryed it out with the tourism and i make like unlimited amounts of credits with it, but it feels like cheating and totally takes the fun out of the game at all. i dunno, so many other 4x space games do this so much better, here it feels just weird and unbalanced af.

Other players have claimed to of made 1 million credits. If people can make it, so can the ai. What difficulty are you playing on.

I have "Always keep my game up to date" on my Steam settings, and I was making 1.4 million bc per turn towards the end of my last game.   Capping at 1 million.

Are you playing on from an old save, or with modded data? We have done several balance passes on Tourism, and it would very useful to have more details on what is happening in your game.

Not from an old save, nor with modded data.   I know it is not an old save because my previous game (before that) is the one where I discovered the behavior.  It is the game after that when I decided to revolve my game around that feature.

i make tons and tons of money from tourism with a freshly started game, and its just annoying, ai is doing the same obviously, and for me it totally takes the fun and the strategy out of the game, since u dont have to think anymore just pump out millions of credits in no time

Personally, I find tourism to be much better balanced in the recent updates.  Are you up to 3.7?  Even with Popular, tourism doesn't seem to get out of hand until later in the game.

I have a little 3.7 in the lower-right-hand of the starting screen.   Not balanced at all.    That said, I found the different gameplay new and fun, though a bit imperfect.

Okay we found the bug -- it only happens if you have the "right" combo of DLC installed.  We'll push a fix in our next update.
