Default Re: Question on number of players

Puke is right, if you pick random, the computer picks your opponets according to what you selected, low, high, etc, however, rarely (at least I have never seen it, will it generate all 20)..BUT, What I have done, and found it works quite well, I pick add empire, I pick 10 or more of the races, give them addtional traits etc picking 5000 pts. and put them into the game. Then I also have computer generate additional random computer AI opponents. This way, yeh, you know who some of your opponents will be, but not ALL OF THE THEM as the computer picks the rest from those that you didn't pick. You could end up with 5-10 of the other races besides those you chose which would give you some surprises. you don't have to pick 10, just whatever number you want, the computer picks the rest..

I don't know if this works in any of the mods but it does it the original SE4

just some idea mac
