I was way to tired Last night to be posting. Sorry about my outbursts.

I am having an issue with my race starting the game as indifferant and never raising hirer than that. Like Geo said it is most like a fouled up setting and most likely my fault.

I agree with what has been said, the Ai does need help in the political/diplomacy area.

Right now one of the largest draw backs to single player is the fact that once the AI declares war upon you, it never changes despire its mood. You are always at war from that point forward.

I am a big advocate for improvement here and it is nice to read that many of you are of like mind regarding this subject.

Atrocities,your wrong - this is the way the current AI's are set up. The AI is very linear, but the settings allow for some flexibility. It is possible to make the AI get a treaty again, just i assume that most modders dont do that.
There is natural increase, and effects of combats (win/lose/stall. lose usually decreses the most)

SUGGESTION - make AI's that do NOT get angry over planets, thats plain stupid if they all do

And sorry about large letters, just wanted to draw attention.

EDIT: just to clarify, in the few AI's ive done i payed a lot of attention to the *_ai_politics.txt file, so i have some knowledge in that area.

I am an idiot. No no, its true, I am an idiot. I figured out why my race mood was degrading so drastically. Yup, it was a simple thing too. Can any one here say Xenophobic? (sp) Thats right, that setting does indeed work.

My apologies.

Can you list your AI's so that I might steal, errr, borrow from them.

I've done AI for TechnoLogic and Taera. I do not remember what i did with my TechnoLogic but i spent three days of work on the Taera AI, tweaking it quite a bit. For one, you'd have to work very hard to get a treaty with them and be careful not to annoy them. But it is highly customized. In general, if you want i can dig into the politics file and point out the areas that might interest you.

EDIT: taera_AI_politics.txt
Also, its not as great as it might sound

im still proud of it though
