General file is used when the race is selected randomly as an AI race.

AI files are not normally needed to play the race, only by AI (and ministers).

To start, for the first release, my suggestion is to copy all AI files from any other race that uses technologies appropriate for your race, and edit the descriptions in AI_general, and make .emp files, and perhaps a custom design names file.

Then you can then edit and refine Research, Design (the most defining ones) and the other files to make it more unique (for example you can’t make them start with armor, but you can make them research and start using it very early), but that is not as easy as it seems and takes a long time of editing and playtest to get it right. I have made several races and consider myself somehow an expert in that matter, however I’m still a relative newbie when it comes to AI.
