Hi, Shapeshifter.

TDM mod is one of the best mods out there for base Space Empires IV AI's...
I recommend you look at the races with the Demeanor and Culture you want for your race as a guide.

Also the top Stickys on this page may be of help.

You may also try the Forum {search} above right!

From there we would be glad to help you with any specific questions, regarding AI Creation. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

TDM MOD-PACK may be downloaded from SE4 MOD PAGE

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">My advice is the same that wrote JLS: download the TDM and take a look to the AI files.
Think is the only way to learn.
I'm sure that if you have specific question, somebody here will try to answer you.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I forget this topic! Thanks Rexxx.

Anyway, looking my tips during these times, some of them are outdated:
- the bug with cloaked minesweepers: now the Minesweeper ships can use cloak devices.
- the Ionic Disperser: now is not a so usefull weapon...

I found these links very helpful:

For me this thread was a perfect "introduction". The collected knowledge of the TDM-Modders http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif . Most of it is still valid.

If you want to know how the AI designs its ships then you should read Atraikius' sheet, it helped me a lot.
