Re: Can data files be changed between turns?
Ive always thought that random AI changes would be fun anyway. Maybe not mid-game but generating more variety than Ive seen. I can see some interesting results.
A) If you have ship in their space then they love you, but if you fight them and lose they hate you (disdain of weak nations?)
B) If you have planets in their space then they love you, but if there are enemy ships in their space they hate you (you have failed to proect our common interests)
C) if you turn down trades from them they love you but if you give them gifts they hate you (Id rather face a shrewd trader than a false friend)
Maybe I could make a program to scramble the neutral races. Or even add to them. If I toss in an ImageMagick file then I could even randomly alter a few colors on the BMP files to give each a unique flag. Maybe even a unique portrait altho the easiest thing would be to select one portait and decalre them all to be offshoots.
MUHAHAHahahaaa Ive always loved pogramming randoms
