Almost, remaining problems I would like to solve before posting:

(1) Having trouble balancing early game and extreme late game build queues (this was discussed in an earlier thread with Mephisto, Talenn and others) this is a very difficult aspect to get right. I suggested an "epoch" flag of 1-3 in one of my wish-lists so there could be 3 different "attack" queues depending on how many years have passed. I would also like to find out what parameters will change the AI states (other than the obvious declaration of war)

(2) Re-thinking the racial trait I added for them called "Stealthy". I may release two Versions - a "pure" one for those don't want to modify their files and a modified one for those that don't mind. Any thoughts?

I am new to the forum, but vote for having both Version available.

Could you post a "Version 1.0" now, and then update it when you get your wishes? I'm real anxious to try it!

Hehe, I love it! The modders get a taste of what MM gets to go through!

Yes, Tampa, post it now please!

yeah, post it man. Then we will bug you about patches for it, and even start up a thread on "should we download the mod now, or wait till it works?" and why is it slower to download in Canada? when will the AI be fixed so it matches my playstyle?

appologies to all thoes i mock, for i mock myself too.
