I don't wanna know what fixes are being made before I can download the patch myself.

Re: AI Surrender

SEV?

No you could do that already - AGAINST A HUMAN OPPONENT - of course.

Giving him a transport - telling him to move his population.

Re: .emp file ? and ai attack more ?

Of course you can modify it. You open the file (race) it in the empire creation screen and klick on "edit" then you can also save the .emp file. I suggest you would call it something else so you...

Re: lack of resource bug

There should be an option for unlimited storage space including no storage facillities/techs, in case you'd happen to want to play that way.

Re: Help this newbie; the docs for this game are vague

The reason why I wanted to change them was to lower the values (neutrals had a -25 on all traits except for happiness) and make it more interesting. So races would be really weak on one area, and...

Jourin has a point - but I also adapt my production with my income. I've (almost) learned to balance the expenses with the production (I'm sucha nerd).
