Summary0016610: Brutal++
DescriptionI was expecting the Brutal AI type to have a core guard post on EACH of its planets. For a Hard-Red type, I was disappointed.

How to name an AI that has one brutal guard post on each planet? Suggestions:
Brutal MkII
Brutal++
Harsh
*insert Brutal synonym here*
Hardcore
(Maybe "Hard Core" should be reserved to a type with something special about its core world... Oh, wait! ... Done.)

Would the "brutal guard posts" be:
[list][*] True, full homeworld guard posts, complete with AIP increase and CSG protection?
[*] Homeworld guardposts with AIP increase but no CSG protection?
[*] Homeworld guardposts with CSG protection but no AIP increase?
[*] Homeworld guardposts with no AIP increase or CSG protection?
[*] Scaled-down versions of homeworld guardposts that still capture the flavor and PAIN?[/list]

As long as this AI Type suggestion is a tweak on the regular, already-existing Brutal AI Type, the answer is:
Homeworld Guard Posts with +1 AIP and +10 floor AIP increase and protecting ACStation but without CSG protection.

Wait, do they protect their *local* command station, or the *homeworld* command station?

They protect their local OCStation. Just like the current implementation of the Brutal AI Type.

Give it a glimpse.

[*] I am not a speedrunner
[*] Thus, I can't beat the demo
[*] I want to play games to their end, and at least try to win
[*] Thus, I don't want to spend much time playing the demo, when I could be playing the full game with less expansions.
[*] I don't have Destroyer of Worlds
[*] Thus, I don't get the option of facing the Brutal AI type.
