SP Home Rules

[Tifone]

I play on Large random maps, with money, supply and resources set to 150% (more in later Eras), 65% sites freq. (less in later eras), 2 starting provinces (more in later eras) to add a bit of a random, indeps at 6 (more in later eras), easy magic research because otherwise I get bored.
But most important I personally design every pretender and play some turns, setting the nation AI later when I think it can "walk with its own legs" (bought some elite troops, conquered some easy indies). I usually give them an Awake SC or great scales.

Just to plug...
we could use your experiences in doing that to add to the SemiRand program. The drawback of manually starting the AI nations is that you know too much about them when you do it. But with enough varied (but not self-destructive) god builds for each nation then the SemiRand program will be able to randomize the AIs settings each game for us without giving away their position and designs.
Please donate some designs to fill in our gaps.
