I just installed the Mod Pack 1.0 and started a game playing against the Earth Alliance, Darloks and Serengeti(sp?). A few comments:

The Darlok speech files are truly awesome! The first thing they said was something to the effect of: If you don't move your ship from our system, the bomb we've planted on board will blow it up! Very cool. Later, when they suggested a trade alliance, it was something like: The best thing we can do for our mutual enemies is form this trade alliance. I'm quite happy that the Darloks are leading everyone in intel production. My compliments to the creator of this race!

I haven't run into the EA yet but I can see that they have TONS and TONS of units. My score is higher but I don't look forward to encountering them without PD V's. The EA have more research production than all of the other AI races--including one race which I set to god-like research. This is pretty impressive! Again, my thanks to the creator of this race.

I haven't stumbled upon the Serengeti yet either. But these three custom races are in second, third and fourth place. This is a very good sign to me.

I have a question:

Now that I have these custom races out there, will the computer automatically choose them or do I have to manuallly add then in each time?

Thanks to everyone working on mods and shipsets and making it easier for folks like me to download!
