The Morganites are my favorite faction and I can achieve victory with them sooner than any other faction (although Lal comes close with his rapid population growth). The faction I have a hard time with is the Hive.
I'm a bit surprised that the designers didn't come up with a better AI for Morgan, because it fails at everything Morgan should be doing.
Click to reveal.. (Why the AI sucks at Morgan)
- The AI rarely uses supply crawlers, bun when they do, they usually don't use them for energy. Additionally, they never ever armor them or give them proper defense against mindworms. Aaaand, when it does convoy energy it doesn't build economic facilities in the base, effectively making it useless.
- The AI sucks at terraforming and rarely builds boreholes.
- The AI generally only rushes units but not base facilities or secret projects.
- The AI doesn't build enough base facilities in the first place, and doesn't properly take advantage of tree farms.
- The AI generally won't upgrade to clean reactor units.
- The AI doesn't expand quickly enough and sits there with five or six bases (if that).
- The AI seems to think that probe teams are invisible the entire game and uselessly throws them in front of enemy units.
- The AI needlessly moves its military units outside its borders causing drone riots.
- Whenever AI Morgon is attacked he often builds up a ton of units that he can't support, so he switches to Police State and Power and effectively kills himself.
