Chewy - not all of the races posted have AIs and even if they do, a lot of them are either (a) just slightly modified default files from the game or (b) contain obsolete files from several Version ago. The races in the ModPack are picked b/c the authors have taken a lot (and I mean a fifty to a hundred plus) hours modifying and TESTING their AI files and continue to do so with each new Version. The authors in the ModPack are also committed to updating their races and providing feedback pretty regularly (look how fast God Emperor updated after his post).
Now please, I am not saying that others are not doing this, I am just saying that it takes awhile and a good amount of feedback before we are comfortable including a race in the ModPack. Plus, it is already getting slightly unwieldy. For instance, due to the content and size of this Last post it took the combined effort of 5-8 hours to compile and test all of the revised races to ensure no errors and compatibility - after each author submitted their latest and greatest.
Anyway, we do add races, just at our own pace. If a race has outstanding AI and everyone on the Boards are talking about it (i.e. the Rage), you can bet we will be contacting the author.
Gee - this is my second long post of the day. I gotta start working. . .
