AI\'s in TDM pack asleep?

Okay, I just installed a fresh copy of SE4, patched it to 1.35, added the TDM mod (I've never used it and wanted to try it out... besides I'm about to start working on AI files, so I wanted to learn from the best), then "fixed" the AI_Design_Creation.txt files, and deleted the data files (in the DATA folder) that were upgraded in the patch (so the game would use the default ones). I started a game, and I found a few of the AI's to be sleeping... they weren't building or researching or even responding to diplomacy (I mean NO response). This happened to the Earth Alliance and the Rage. Some of the AI's were doing quite well (particually the one based on Battlestar Galactica).

Anyone know what's going on, or if I did something wrong, or experienced similar events???

I know this sometimes happens if the AI Ministers is not set to "Complete AI" - are you sure all of the ministers are on? of course this does not apply if you changed the AI races to "Computer Controlled" in the set-up screen.
