Funny you should mention the pop growth for the ancients.
My roommate and I were talking about it and came to the same decsision. I would like to bring their growth rate down even below what is typically allowed, which I can do for the AIs, but not sure how to do in EMP files. Maybe make a some new racial traits "Highly Prolific" and "Immortal" - make the immortals immune to plague and give a SLOW rate of growth
I'll try to post all I have this afternoon
Another thing I was thinking about is creating a music CD (using stuff from
B5 Music Page ) and matching it up for the game (since we can tell the game what tracks to play). Does this interest anyone? We could zip all the files then Users would have to burn their own CDs.
