Re: Excel workbook for AI\'s
 

This is great! Now, all I have to do is figure out the stuff at the bottom. Is there a writeup on AI design somewhere? I have questions about what happens when "Primary" weapons tech is not available initially and what the effect of the "Secondary" weapon setting is. The same goes for other of the primary/secondary selections. And does there need to be a "special" manual adjustment to get the AI to use trait-specific techs like the Talisman or Subverter?

There are areas for both an initial and final primary and secondary weapon on the race worksheet. The inital primary weapon is researched at the top of the research file. If there is no secondary weapon researched, the ship will be designed with only the primary weapon, and a ship will be designed with CSM I's until the initial primary weapon is researched. I tried to set up the files so that any special racial tech items will be used.

The files that you will get from this aren't going to give you a challenging AI, but they give you a full set of workable AI files (that some additional variation in the anger and politics files based on your demeanor, happiness type, and Culture) to start from. Just adjust the appropriate files to improve or optimize thenm to what you are looking for.
