Re: TDM Mod Pack 3.00 errors
I see a problem with the Krill, and I am completely in a mist about this, I cannot find the root cause:
Ai Design Creation Errors: c:\programme\shrapnel games\malfador machinations\space empires iv
- Unknown value "Kamikaze" for Default Strategy in record "Kamikaze Attack Ship".
The curious issue about it, under ...\malfador machinations I have got two folders, the one mentioned above "space empires iv" and another one "space empires iv gold", why does the program look into the non-gold folder (this has been installed by the gold CD, it is not the old one)?

IIRC, the default strategy for Kamikaze ships is supposed to be "Ram".
The other thing sounds like a path problem, but I'm not sure about that.

Re: TDM Mod Pack 3.00 errors
I have got a problem to find the corrupted file. Under ...\space empires iv (this seems to be a kind of forgotten to be deleted path from the gold CD) is not much to find. And under the Gold folder and TDM folder, every default_ai_strategy.txt has entries like:
Name := Kamikaze
Primary Movement Strategy := Ram
Secondary Movement Strategy := Point Blank
...
The name of a strategy is fully customizable, AFAIK.
EDIT: The problem just appears with the Krill turns, about 80% of their turns.

Re: TDM Mod Pack 3.00 errors
It seems that I have accidently changed something, I will take a look into that tonight, the original entry in the Xiati designCreations looks correct:
Name := Kamikaze Attack Ship
Design Type := Kamikaze Attack Ship
Vehicle Type := Ship
Default Strategy := Don't Get Hurt
Don't Get Hurt for a Kamikaze Attack Ship, hmmmm ?

I think the "Kamikaze Attack Ship" might actually be a support ship (PD, Repair, Refuel, aux. Minesweeper or some such). Look at the design and maybe the "don't get hurt" will make sense. Some modders use Kamikaze ships and boarding ships to make mixed fleets and include support ships in their fleets.

Re: TDM Mod Pack 3.00 errors
The Xiati are using the Kamikaze Ships as supply tankers. And you wouldn't have them charge into batle, would you?

Tricky... no, you are right, I would avoid them like a hot potato.
