Thanx guys for you input.

I may have found another way to create an empire for the proportions mod. Either that or I didn't understand someone's instructions.

What I did was:
1) Start a new game.
2) Added Existing ... Abbidon 2K
3) Modified the Abbidon 2k Empire to the Amonkrie Empire.
4) Saved the new Empire as Amonkrie 2k

I think this should work. I'll soon find out if I screwed it up.

That will use the Abbidon AI instead of the Amon'Krie AI, which is not really a good thing to do.

No

. It will use Amonkrie AI, but it will still be an Abbidon race setup (gas homeworld, psychic trait, etc.). Which is not good eitgher !! Tbontob, stop fooling around and do as advised

Start a new game with random AI players, in game menu select Amonkrie ( if it was not generated randomly, start a new game) and once Amonkrie turn arrives, save the empire.

It will?

The empire I created has the Amonkrie avatar, the Amonkrie flag and the Amonkrie shipset.

I selected the Amonkrie from the "Race Portrait/Ship Style" pictures.

Will it still use the Abbidon AI?

But I changed the race type (gas, rock, ice), and its special traits (psychic, religious etc) to the ones I want.

Is it really screwed up?

EDIT: The standard Amonkrie Empire has different atmosphere, home planet type,Culture, Advanced Traits and different racial points alloted to Physical Characteristics and Vocational Aptitudes from the one I created.

If you changed all race characteristics to be in line with Amonkrie_AI_general file than yes, it will work. But why not simply make empire file using randomly generated Amonkrie ? It is so easier
