Yes, that is how the game defines computer player and neutral.

On very rare occasions you'll see a neutral leave its home system; I've had neutrals chase my scout ship into an adjacent system to attack it. Another way it can happen is if an event warps one of their ships someplace else.

If there are 20 players, a colony cant rebel and start it's own empire.
But does that change when the 20th player gets killed?
Or do we have to wait till their score dissappears from the score-comparison?
Or does the comp still think there were 20 players and thus there is no space?

Re: Number of Computer Players
 

Egregius,
I believe it works that way but I don't know for sure. I've seen player numbers above 20 but I think they rebeled after one of the starting races is dead.

Re: Number of Computer Players
 

I've seen the the same as Andres, the number goes above 20, however it appears to only happen after one of the AI players takes the long dive

just some ideas mac
