General question: For links, should the FAQ stand alone with the information imported so that the whole thing can be saved off as a simple text file (and thus be much larger)

OR,

Should the FAQ have hypertext links that make the file html and subject to broken links in the future?

I tend to favor importing the data so that the entire file is in simple, self containted text format and easily viewable and editable. Opinions?

Make 2 Versions of it.

That depends. All informational text should be in the faq, but if it is a link to some extensive source as a strategy faq or another site, it should ofcourse be linked.
For example the movement info, I think it's a good balance to have it as text in the faq with a hyperlink to the graphic presentation.

To self (or Slick): remeber to incorporate: firing order.

I don't think that is worth the effort.

You have to edit them, and turn on the Controlled by AI button.

QUESTION

When you set up a new game, how can you engineer it so that YOU select your opponents you are playing with? When I keep adding existing races...they end up being human controlled!
