AI Race Use of Intel Ops

[Tampa_Gamer]

Heavy SE4 weekend. Spent around 25+ hours playtesting the Darlok race that I am in the process of creating. Unfortunately, ended up banging my head against the wall Last night due to a couple major hurdles still facing the AI files.

(1) Has anyone created a USEFUL "PlanetTypes" file. I created a new one (obviously adding more Intel planets) and I cannot get the % resources to work (and yes, I remember our discussion Last week Baron) I know they work in relation to each other - but this still is not working. I think it looks to the % empire FIRST, before going to the the % relative resources. IMHO if MM makes a few tweaks to this file, it could provide for a dramatic increasea in proper AI utilization of planets.

(2) Intel Ops - all of the AI races that use Intel seem to have one plan. Put all projects available on the "Board" at the same time and divide available intel points between all of them!! Absurd! I cannot find a priority/preference file. Has anyone else played around with this?

Thanks
