Does the AI use different planetary invasion methods?

gas warfare, mass drivers etc

from GalCiv2 Forums
Does the AI use different tactics when invading? I've yet to see it use things like mass drivers or gas warfare, but then I haven't been invaded that many times..(clearly have the difficulty set too low)

Also I read in a patch changelog about a change in planet texture to represent damage by mass drivers, but I can't seem to spot it, is it in the game?

Watch a nice planet reduced even though you win

Considering I never use it though on higher difficulty I might.

The problem is that the invasion tactic the AI uses doesn't show up on the invasion screen.

Yeah and you can see the effects of a Gas attack after it has racked a core and widdled down world

i honestly think the AI should have two types of desires.. one if they wish to keep the world.. and two if they wish to poison the well..

Hmm.. wonder why that is? It would be good to know what the AI is using against you. When their advantage factor is much better than yours, it would be reassuring to know that its simply because theyve used mass drivers on you.

Is this likely to be in game at some point?
