MB, can you upload an AI scripts pack to the AIDM3 page? It would be nice to have all the best AIs in one single zip.

For sure I could. But most of the AIDM3 races are currently included into the TDM, then, think would be somewhat redundant.

TDM Races:
==========
Aquilaeian
CueCappa
Drakol
Earth Alliance
EEE
Fazrah
Gron
Khrel
Klingon
Narn
Orks
Piundon
Pyrochette
Rage
Sallega
Tessellate
Toron
United Flora
Vikings

Non-TDM Races
Azorani
Corrian
Namovan
Teslik
Verduran

About the Corrian and Teslik, already you can download it from the Gandalph webpage.
Maybe I could upload the Azorani, Namovan and Verduran.

Addition: interesting, is it possible to write a "blitzkrieg" AI which is aimed at fastest victory achievement? E.g., victory in 70-100 turns instead of typical 200-300 turns.

With the map I'm using, it's near to impossible.
Does exist to many space between the starting places.
Also, the empty systems in middle means the fleets must attack without resupply, and the AI is not very smart managing the fleet resources.
Many modders (like me) tried to help the AI, designing support ships with supply components and solar collectors, but usually it's not enough. Only when the Quantum Reactor comes, the AI can manage the fleets without worry for the supplies... and usually it takes more than 100 turns.

Earth Alliance vs Azorani.

The Earth Alliance won at the turn 370.
They always had the initiative and the Azorani just defended.

[Master Belisarius]

Narn vs Verduran.

The Verduran won at the turn 400.
It was not something new to me, because I did several test before accept the Verduran...

Many files are the same to the United Flora, but they are not a religious race, and the Verduran ships looks weak, very weak. But... they build lots and lots of cheap ships, then, they outnumbered the Narn fleets. A lone Narn DN could kill many Verduran DN, but the Verduran fleets were so numerous that the Narn always was at the defensive and finished losing!

Rage vs Teslik.

The Rage won by points, at the turn 500.
It was a looong game and the Rage was always at the offensive, but the Teslik managed to survive until the end.

Khrel vs United Flora

The UF had not problems to defeat the Khrel. They won at the turn 190.
The UF expanded fastest and for the time the Khrel had competitive ships, the battle was already lost.

Great stuff Master Belisarius!
I really enjoy reading this thread.
I think the UF will be the ultimate winner. Damn, no Drakol winner. Ah well, mabe when SE V comes along.
