Response to new SE4 player Email
This is true other people mark (Empire) them as 2,3,5k and is still needed in AIC so you may choose AI opponents directly as opposed to just random as it is in AIC currant stage…. But some other people do not have a Easy level choice thru hard on traits menu and/or have completed there Mod some time ago. So this still has to be worked out in AI Campaign.
Yes, you can play this in a 2,3,5000 Point game just give the yourself the appropriate points, however if you choose a 3000 or 5000 point game the AI also gets the increase of 3000 to 5000 points; allowing them to be much more powerful; at jump, as well. I hope this helps.
I wanted to release AI Campaign early to get input on ideas to complete the (window dressing, TAC Fighter mod and General Play balance), so some aspects may not be clear to a new SE4 player at this juncture.
I set up 2 Empires as a choice for beginners and as an example to experienced players on how AIC utilizes the Traits menu.
Phong is there for the people, right off the SEIV tutorial. With a Beginners level and Moderate level.
Terrans are a non-specific race and there is a Beginning level and a moderate level for them as well.
Yes! feel free to create your own race and play any style game you prefer, AI Campaign will/should adapt automatically to your startup selections.
I think I am going to post my reply (only), this is a good question and there may be some confusion on this.
Thank you very much for your input and I look forward to your comments, please continue your Emails
John.
