Default Re: Ai races not using design name file specified in _ai_general.txt file

I don't mind if anyone uses these in mods or something. It's just a list of words, after all, and it can contribute to the 'atmosphere' of the game. Especially now that we've figured out that if you put the .txt at the end of the name it works! The Latin.txt file is great for 'regal and imperial' type races. I gave it to the Sallega since they are described as having this 'genetic' caste system with a ruling class that lives several times longer than the peons. The Fazrah and the Krill are rather nasty sorts, so I gave them the Animals.txt and Birds.txt respectively. Oh, and I gave the Jraenar 'dinosaurs.txt' but it's been expanded to many more names. Haven't restarted since making the Hacker.txt file but I gave it to the Praetorians since they have so much "cybernetic enhancement' of their bodies. It was either them or the Xiati. It'll be interesting to run into ships with names like "Geek" and "Frankenputer" and "Fnord"!
