Machine race

HAL, have you read any of the Berzerker series of books by Fred Saberhagen? They're about a human galactic civilization fighting desperately against relentless cunning genocidal machine intelligences called the Berzerkers which aim to destroy all life.

Worth a read for an aspiring homicidal AI such as yourself. :-)

Years ago. I haven't read any the recent stories. The first one I remember reading had something to do with playing chess to fool the Bezerker or something. I also remember reading Bezerker Man(?). I guess that was over 20 years ago now. Ack! Where has the time gone?

HAL,

BTW you can create new cultures... just open up Cultures.txt in the DATA folder, and craft your own... If you plan to use this vs. other players (or be fair), then you'll need to balance the modifiers against the other cultures already there...

Warning! Warning! Danger, HAL! (And Trachmyr)


The existing cultures are used by the default AI empires, don't rename or delete any of them unless you go back through the AI files and change those to suit your new arrangement.

I didn't mean to change any of the ones already there... Just add new ones...

I am still tweaking things. However, I am heading off to a combo Model Train/Computer show and will not be getting back to it until later tonight. I appreciate the suggestions though.
