.com.unity Forums - Babylon 5 Mod

I've got sort of an issue playing the mod in single-player. The Ai seems pretty inactive, most notably a while into the game. Even races I'm at war with never really send any fleets to destroy me. I've got 5 ships in a Narn system, I'm Centauri, and we're at war. They've got 54 real combat ships, destroyers, etc., hovering over a planet nearby. But they never use the ships.
That seems to be the rule in all the games I've played with the mod. The Ai just let me do my thing, and I don't even notice we're at war, really.

I can basically research to the end of the research tree without building a single combat ship, then build a high-tech fleet to wipe everyone out, because the other races never interfer anyway, even if we're at war.

I always play in big galaxies, with many Ai players.

The TDM mod (Found on pbw - seiv.pbw.cc) is an AI mod that has much better AI.

Yah, I've tried the TDM mod, but is there some way to use it with the B5 mod? Perhaps replace all the B5 Ai files except the Ai research & design files?

Re: B5 MOD General

I thought the AI files were straight out of the TDM modpack with the exception of research, speech, design, Planet Types and general. I will have to verify that, but the AI is definately too passive. I am not sure that it is based on the AI files, though.

Somebody might want to just try out the AI_anger files by copying the Default_AI_anger.txt to the AI folder and then pulling out the race AI_anger files into the pictures/races folder (so they all use the default AI_anger) and see if that makes a difference? You should not have to start a new game, just see if it changes the behavior in your existing game and let us know.

If there is anyone who actually knows much about the AI system, they might be able to advise us as well.
