Ada-AIC MOD v1.01 - by GLV

[Fyron]

You might want to wait until Adamant Mod is a bit more complete, as you will have a lot of manual updating to do in the near future.

"1) I have lowered the Adamant Colonizer to 400 so the AI will not think it is a Base Ship and yet I still will have extra cargo for units to tag along"

Have you gotten the latest Version of Adamant? The colony ships are no longer 3300 kT...

"(2) The AIC AI System Facility will prevent Adamants Event File from destroying the the AI Colonies with Plagues.
I am going to adopt a lot of AICs events. For example the Human Player will have time to respond to level 4 and 5 Adamant Plagues like in AIC. This if I even keep the Adamant event file."

System Hospitals can help protect the AI from plague events. Level 4-5 plagues are high severity, so they won't appear unless you select high or catastrophic event severity. In that case, the AI has a lot more to destroy it than just plagues.

"(5) Tweak Adamants vehicals more like Proportions and AIC for combat maneuverability."

How so? Adamant's vehicles already have built-in ECM bonuses or penalties based on maneuverability.

"(6) Units and Fighters base more like AIC but with a little Adamant stuff. Yes there will be PvKs infantry"

They are not really PvK's infantry, as 1 kT infantry appeared in many mods before Proportions ever came out. But either way, Adamant already has Infantry, which are 5 kT so they can have varying designs. Careful how you do this.

"(10) Settings is more like se4 defaults but with a few tweaks."

Which settings?

4- Adamant facilities and Components are by far more in-depth then any-other, it would be wise to stay with that, actually you should grab one of Fyron’s suggested Adamant AIs and try your hand at setting a few up.

5- Adamants vehicles are near perfect. Overall, AIC vehicles are set up much different then Proportions or any-other. You would be wiser to go with Adamant or Proportions.

6- Adamants troops are more diverse then any-other, if you want grunts just add that.

Sorry NO STAR LINERS At All

Thats it, I won't play this mod

You have obviously never played Pirates and Nomads (possibly the PBW-only Version, not sure... though the AI can use mounted troop weapons fine...). The Bio-Psych stuff was added with KnidVernicious' permission (probably botched that name...).

Or the B5 and ST mods either for components... Not sure how the Adamant facilities come out as more in-depth than Proportions or AIC ones.

Any-other mentioned here.

OK then, just more

Well of course they will have numerical superiority... I had to triple the number for the 3 race types. But if you just look at physical race faclities, don't Proportions and AIC each end up with more facilities than Adamant?

[JLS]

I am not going to count the individual Facilities

AIC = 356 kb
Adamant = 625 kb

However, this may not count, you and Pete would be much wordier then I am. But if we add my spelling errors, I can catch up

Now divide that by 3 to cut out the triplicates (and add a few for those that are not triplicated)...
