Re: Number of Computer Players
In addition to what's already been said, you can edit each race to make them stronger or weaker or assign them new names. Just go to edit like already mentioned and then modify each race to whatever style you want, then you can also pick the rest of your AI's or use the random generation. This way you could have several or more super villians as well as those already made up for the game. The only draw back is like Puke said, you would know some of the races already in the game but not where. The random would also give you the unnknowns as well.

Re: Number of Computer Players
By "computer player", I meant a computer-controlled empire that has bonuses and/or extra abilities and expands to other star systems like a human would. By "neutral", I meant a computer-controlled empire that sticks to its own system and has no special abilities or bonuses. I don't know if these are the standard terms used on the board.

Re: Number of Computer Players
Yes, that is how the game defines computer player and neutral.
On very rare occasions you'll see a neutral leave its home system; I've had neutrals chase my scout ship into an adjacent system to attack it. Another way it can happen is if an event warps one of their ships someplace else.

Re: Number of Computer Players
If there are 20 players, a colony cant rebel and start it's own empire.
But does that change when the 20th player gets killed?
Or do we have to wait till their score dissappears from the score-comparison?
Or does the comp still think there were 20 players and thus there is no space?

Re: Number of Computer Players
Egregius,
I believe it works that way but I don't know for sure. I've seen player numbers above 20 but I think they rebeled after one of the starting races is dead.

Re: Number of Computer Players
I've seen the the same as Andres, the number goes above 20, however it appears to only happen after one of the AI players takes the long dive
