Summary0009806: Zenith Trader & Speed Racer AI = 200 Speed Trader
DescriptionSo it seems under certain conditions, the Zenith Trader has shunned social norm and found some way it can be affected by a Speed Boost- And that is by teaming up with the Speed Racer AI type, in which case it can go straight up to 200.

Clearly those plucky double dealers have hired some AI Engineers.

It also affects Antagonised Dyson spawn.

It also turns out that Dyson Gatlins spawned from the Dyson Sphere also inherit this behaviour. When I continue my game later, I'll post screens and if I get the chance a good example save.

Seems they both inherit any extra properties AI 1 gains I would guess.

Fun story - The ai will actually buy warp gates, hybrid spawning stuff, ions, etc from the trader,

So it going really fast is actually just a ploy to get more items from the trader. (unlike humans, who want them to stop, ai want them to gofast)

I guess now we know what the AI pays with.

Indeed. With the Zenith Trader going 6.3x faster than usual, it's exiting AI worlds 6x more frequently thus I'm going to see a larger quantity of the AI purchasing things in this game.

Still a problem in 6.004, and sort of starting to hate myself for not just rerolling the game when I discovered it. about 20 hours realtime into the match I just got trolled by the AI buying a black hole machine on a planet I only just destroyed a Black Hole machine on. FML.

On the bright side, it should be AIP free this time :p

The first one was Zenith bought too. Hence the extent of the trolling.

Now that AI war is getting updates again I feel it prominent to bump this up after the 5 months AI War has been, shall we say, asleep? Heh.
