I guess I am obviously doing something to REALLY annoy the enemy??
I have just got past the point of getting my first few research projects done into the factions and how to recruit soldiers. I have 7 troops and am looking for the SE Asia base when a pop up announces that my base is under attack and tells me to Start Mission. The mission then starts and there is me with ONE guy and I spot 6 enemies during the movement phase.
Seeing as these odds are suicidal I decided to reload to an earlier save and try to split my forces in anticipation of this move by the enemy. However, I then get a series of messages saying IIRC `that my storage space is running out, that my base is about to get attacked and something else I didnt quite catch and then a game over movie plays saying something about how I had failed and my last base had fallen.
I can only assume that the AI Director had decided I was doing far too well to have 7 troops and no deaths in the 4 or 5 battles I had fought so far and that I needed to be punished for being too successful too early? I this is a feature and not some sort of bizarre bug then how do you win?
Do I have to be god awful with my resources, lose loads of troops and be teetering on the edge of didaster for the AI to leave me alone?
