Garthogs seem to be too strong even on easy difficulty

"7. Mire eljutottam oda, hogy neki támadjak (2427 dec.) egy Garthog bolygónak 
igencsak nagy meglepetés ért, hiszen 3 űrállomással 4 2-es szintű 
löveggel és bolygópajzsal kerültem szembe, ami az adott szinten elérhető 
legjobb fejlesztésekkel felszerelt maxra húzott flottával is igen kétséges 
kimetelű lehet. Néztem végigjáttszás videót eredetiről és abban a 
Garthogok nem voltak ennyire legyőzhetetlenek. Bolgyóbajzs nem is volt és 
katonai űrállomás sem."

Apparently, the Garthogs deploy defenses too quickly. I need to observe what 
the AI does.

I had the same problem, I played on medium, and by the time I was supposed to 
kill Garthogs, they had a huge fleet that would attack my orbital factory 
planet, and when i tried to attack their planet, they had incredible 
defenses... the most annoying was the ground defense, I did not have enough 
planets to research rocket launcher tanks, and so it was impossible to take 
their planet with one fleet (24 tanks)... in fact it took 3 fleets (72 medium 
tanks) to take them out... and it took forever to build that many battleships 
and tanks :(

It seems the campaign script needs to prevent military buildup during level 1 
and 2 and perhaps even slow down the population growth as well.

Perhaps this is already the case with a slower growth, but I would also suggest 
making a couple of the closer or higher numbered Garthog planets easy to 
takeover, and the further Garthog planets have stronger defenses, for a better 
game progression.  Taking a couple of their planets would then let you build 
the rocket launder tanks too for the stronger planets.

I'm closing this as there were some AI changes and rebalances. If you encounter 
any issue, please don't hesitate to open a new report.
