TDM-ModPack question

[3HattedDragon]

Ok, but as I understand it, the TDM mod alters the AI for a specific set of races, while the AST mod adds it's own set of races. Assuming I just wanted to play a game with the AST races, there's no reason I would want to have TDM running too, right? I guess the only reason I would want to combine them is if I wanted to have a game with a mix of races from the two mods?

I guess I have a lot to learn, thanks for your patience I can see this getting more complicated when I throw in pirates&nomads and proportions...
