Atrocities - Include for now. We can always delete later.

Rollo - I meant late Sunday night (December 16th). I just need to have everyone's files by the time I start working on them (probably around 5am EST) Monday morning. I try and utilize time before I go to work and after I get home to get these things done.

Atrocities & Rollo - With regard to non-Gold AIs, I put a message to Aaron to see what he wants to do. There are several options, but without his permission, I do not feel comfortable posting examples of the AI_Default files from the current Gold build. There are essentially 3 files that must be modified to make the AI files "gold" compatible. These are:

(1) AI_Fleets
(2) AI_Strategies
(3) AI_Settings

Each of these files contains new settings in the Gold Version which when using pre-gold AIs, will cause errors. Note, I am not talking about the addition of Drones and Drone Carriers because Aaron has made it so they are not necessary (they can be added later).

One possible solution is to "deactivate" these 3 files in the AI (e.g. call it "old-AI_Settings.txt") so that the game will look to and use the Default_AI_[FileName] instead. I will keep you posted.

Unfortunately, neither I nor Shrapnel will have the time to go through every race, test and update for Gold. We are barely going to have enought time to run a cusory check and compile the 40+ mods coming in as it is.
