Atrocities: I haven't played Mankind either, but it looks cool. I'm really impressed with their unit portraits, and the in-game engine looks clean. I've been dabbling with trying it out if I can find the time while job-hunting. You can download the program (~17MB) and try it out for free; there are some limitations is all (16 units in your empire vs. infinite number being one of them).
dogscoff: What is the theme of your shipset? No, I'm not volunteering for AI (damnit Jim, I'm a graphic designer not a programmer!
), but I spent the weekend working on a shipset based on just the Taiidan side of the original Homeworld game. I'm just waiting for permission to use the troops/weapon platform graphics from the Addisian shipset. It's mostly going to be eye candy for the players; they can copy whatever AI files they want into it.
