Borg AI question

Well, it's one thing to make the AI tough and it's another to make them Borg. The only Borg AI's I've seen out there behave just like every other race: they colonize, glass planets, and destroy their opponents stuff. I'd like to see a Borg race that makes me afraid to face them. I want them to assimilate everything in sight so that when you come in contact with the Borg, you know you've come in contact with the Borg; oodles of planets, ships, and stations captured and assimilated; warp points opening all over my empire. That's Borg. Even if they have to make separate troop ships that's Borg.

Sorry, but believe that you never could see this with the SEIV AI.

Just a question, did you use the Borg AI from Atrocities download set?

I just downloaded Atrocities set and he has two sets of DesignCreation.txt and Research.txt files. One set is mine but contains an error in the Research.txt file as a Tech Area called "Special Technology" is referred to instead of "Borg Technology". This maybe the error you have encountered as the Components in his files are still tied to Borg Technology, not Special technology.
If this is the cause of your error, please use the new files I have uploaded into the Races Archive.
(I will get in touch with Atrocities to let him know of my update.)

Yes, I think I mentioned earlier that I had downloaded v1.77, which used your AI with Atrocities set. I also noticed the Borg Technology/Special Techology thing, but I wasn't sure if that was really the problem and didn't want to edit the text file without knowing. I just downloaded your latest Version, and I want to thank you. I haven't even run into these Borg yet in my game, but now that I have the latest Version of the AI, I'm sure it will be memorable. Thanks

God Emperor, those new AI files did the trick. I downloaded them Last night and ran the game after installing them in the appropriate folders. I didn't get any error Messages. Again, thank you.

Great, glad that its fixed.
Am not sure why Atrocities modified the Research.txt file (ie Special Technology).
Have sent him an email regarding the update.

If you choose to keep the old AI, this is the corrected file for it.

I hated to play a game that allowed me as the Federation to use Borg technology. I therefore, for my own games, set it to special technology. Somehow, perhaps through the many PC errors I am now plauged with, the files got crossed.

I will be away for a while, so any emails or other will go un-responded to for a good long while.
