Impossible to play due to AI air strike spam Thread - Ultimate Apocalypse Mod (DOW SS) for Dawn of War

Just tried to play big FFA 8p game and noticed that tyranids who were near me attacked my guardians with spore mine drop (I have no idea how this power is called) RIGHT AFTER THEY LEFT THE HQ! Then they contunued spamming this power every 30 second, damaging or even killing my squads. On minute 4 3 of my squads and LP were blown up by ork air strike, which continued every minute. After 6-7 minutes my whole base was ravaged by various air stikes, toxic fogs etc. Funny thing that it was medium difficulty. have no idea how to play this mod from now on, I even restricted relic units and game enders for AI, but it doesn't help.

Just for reference, were you playing on quickstart or standard resources? An AI with lots of resources will pretty much be way more agressive than an AI which is low on resources.

I played on quickstart to check out new stuff quickly. However, I still think that it is unacceptable, sometimes I played on high resources before, but there was nothing even close to this.

Medium difficulty starts with 2500 resources lower than you, however, quickstart option is not best for a "just check out stuff new" option. In fact, I think it would be better for you to disable AI completely if you want to check out stuff new.

It seems like you are too focused on that than battle. If on quickstart, you definitely should spend your resources or the AI will indeed kick you. AI is mean on quickstart.

I see, however I just played vs hard tyranid AI on normal resources and there were almost the same stuff going on. They started bombing my squads after 3-4 minutes right through the fog of war, after that all my units were permanently in some sort of toxic fog which reduced their vision to almost zero. This was so annoying, I can't even describe it.

Edit: just to clear things out: I am not upset with AI spamming units, I am upset with AI spamming uncounteable powers. Can those be toned down a bit (in terms of frequency) or can we get a new victory condition that prevents AI from using such powers?

I shal indeed tone down all powers in the next patch.

Done. You can expect your changes to be to your liking.
