Thanks Oleg, will do; as soon as I have a chance
= = = =
However, if I or we; track the AI increases from the
F9 {key} in-game Score screen and see that they are still in fact
" increaseing in population " with increases that are in addition to the standard yearly 10 turn repro increase, and go as far as to say the AI POPULATION score totals is near, even or above my own;
should this not be sufficient if they are very competitive and increase in AI competitiveness’ as the game evolves beyond the "third year" ?
