Experienced SEIV players please offer suggestions

[hickmanj]

I have SEIV Gold and play with the TDM Modpack (always). I only have time in my life for single player games. As a result, I want to optimize the performance of the AI and other races.

I just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions?

I don't get here that often (I have a new daughter... she's beautiful but makes it hard to be the hardcore gamer I once was )

I try to scan the Messages but am often confused by what is compatible with what .... Proportions, AI mods etc.

What would the veterans suggest I do to have the best single player games possible? (I prefer large universes with 20 players... but am more than willing to change)

Thank you!!!!

TDM plays great as is, maybe I misunderstood the question.
TDM is se4 BASED. Proportion, AI Campaign and most other MODS; AI and other files are not Compatible with TDM or each other.

Try raising the Computer Bonus in TDM for more of a challenge.

Try AI Campaign if you want to try a Non se4 Based Game. The AI is designed to be very Challenging so don't give it any bonuses for your first game

Also, please don't add another Mod on AIC or some other Mods, it may break the Data files.

Link is below.

Play Pirates & Nomads mod as a Pirate or a Nomad. Get SJ's AI converter to convert the TDM AIs to be compatible with P&N. This will give a great challenge.

Play small galaxy, 4 strong TDM races (like UF, Narn, Aquilaeian, Vikings), High Bonuses and AI vs Humans.
I you can win, send me the savegame.

MB, that sounds like a nice set-up, I am going to give it a go, also.

I have a new daughter... she's beautiful

Congratulations, Jason

It is easy to setup a very tough game - try JLC' AIC mod and give AI even a small bonus...
