Default Re: Problem with Mod Pack ver 1.70

There are two ways to create computer controlled players (other than those chosen randomnly by the game).

(1) [PREFERRED METHOD] In the game setups screen make sure you edit the AI players you added by selecting the "computer control" and "use race style" boxes (then select create empire when done)

(2) [OR] you can simply add them, and switch them to computer control from within the game (but this will require you to go to each race the 1st turn and within their "Empire" options turn on all of their AI ministers.

The first way is preferred because the computer AI's will utilize their starting research point bonuses. If you manually switch them the 1st turn, they have effectively lost their research bonus that everyone else starts with (dependent upon start-up option).
