Newbie Question: Neutal Races

[dogscoff]

If you want the neutrals to be worthwhile opponents rather than conquer-fodder, play proportions. The economic emphasis on the homeworld means that it is far harder to out-pace and overwhelm them. Also, the fact that they keep all their ships in the home system means that their homeworlds are often better defended than those of other races.

[Mind Elemental]

I've taken over neutrals and had them establish colonies outside their home system...

Phoenix, this may be a dumb question, but did you remember to turn AI off for the ex-neutral in the empire options screen?

[Phoenix-D]

It was off. It was an entire game on PBW that got screwed up because of that may have changed back since

[gregebowman]

Ok, got a question. Once you download these neutral races, where do you put them? In the races folder, or the neutral folder?

[Lord_Shleepy]

Place new neutral races in the "neutral races" folder...otherwise...unless I am mistaken...they will be treated as full fledged races. and we can't have that now can we?
