Out Dated AI

[CNCRaymond]

I have downloaded a lot of new races lately and a few of them seem to have out dated AI.

I was wondering if there is an active list for Races that need to have there AI updated? If not, then perhaps we should start one.

If by "outdated" you mean "pre-Gold", instructions for converting them are linked in my sig.

What about pre-1.84 races? I'm sure there are quite a few races made with some of the older Versions. How would you go about updating them?

[Fyron]

They do not _need_ to be updated from Gold to 1.84. The only required update is 1.49 to Gold.
