What's the latest Version of Pirates and Nomads

[Tnarg]

I noticed that the Version on the disk is v3.0, and I downloaded a Version from PBW that was only v2.5PBWspecial, but it seemed to have additional features.

Is the one off the disk the most recent or are there further additions?

Also, this will be the first time that I try it out, can anyone give me a basic premise ie: difference between playing a regular, pirate, or nomad?

How is the AI, I will probably play by my self till I get used to it?

Any other features that one might to clue me in on would be much appriciated.

If there is a later Version, might you be so kind to direct me in the proper direction.

Thanks

2.5 PBW is for SE4 Version 1.49; 3.00 is for Gold.

Other than that.. no idea. I CAN say that the AI will do a really bad job in 2.5 PBW, because that's a "human's only" Version.

Hmmm, bummer, 2.5 looked like it had a few more racial traits and components. Oh well, what you do. Thanks

I'm testing a PBW Version 2.6, and I'll goldify it after its been tested a bit.

The P&N "PBW" Versions do not support AIs, but I plan to make a more limited Version that the AIs can handle later.

A "regular" empire is like unmodded SE IV, except for new items in the advanced traits, components, and mounts, and the quasi-Newtonian propulsion system.

Nomads have access to their own specialized tech, but I haven't tried that yet, so I don't know what's available.

I haven't tried playing a Pirate yet, either, but I know that they also have specialized tech, and get most of their resources and advanced technology via ship capture.

"The P&N "PBW" Versions do not support AIs, but I plan to make a more limited Version that the AIs can handle later."

Couldn't this be done by means of a racial trait? I.e. instead of the AIs picking "normal", have them pick "AI normal".

Then again, I suppose you could have already rejected that for some reason..
