FQM is a great mod , however with that said, most DATA files are not combatable for AI Campaign Mod. If you used FQM Data files (as is) in any Non based se4 mod you may have compatibilities issues.

I would be interested in how your game turns out, desdinova

For some examples with the below Data files:
RacialTraits: No AI Choices, the game would error from Race general file.
Tech Area: Game would error here as well from Race research calls.
Components: the AI and human players would be unable to gain there specific design calls.
Vehicles file: needed for AI balance mod portion of game, mine sweeping, late game balance. Also required to be unchanged for design calls.
Facility file: is required for Race construction calls.
Most Default_AI_Files same as above applies.
CompEnhancement: some AI balancing
Events: some redundant changes
IntelProjects: some changes
PlanetSize: Required for balance on some race issues.
RepairPriorities: Identical
Settings: Preference but with some required Specific related entry’s.

With StellarAbilityTypes, SystemTypes and QuadrantTypes files in AI Campaign are designed and balanced for Finite play and to help keep the AI ahead of the resource degradation curb in SE4. AI Campaign does not utilize the vast amount of asteroids and moons as FQM does due to the AI’s inabilities to Robo mine asteroids in se4 and the added moons would only encourage the AI to land on more tiny planets not that that is a bad thing; in itself. Their is a balanced amount of Asteroids and moons in AIC currently that will help the Human Player and utilize Robo and Sat mining and hopefully not tip the scales to much in favor of the Human Player versus the Computer opponent.

Now, with that stated

I would look forward to work with Fryon and it would be an honor to help with the interface of his FQM Mod with AI Campaign.
