Question about Gold AI

Madmarlin · #1 October 1st, 2002, 06:07 PM

Thank you all for your opinions. I think I will GO FOR THE GOLD!!!

I know the AI wont be the greatest thing invented since sliced bread, but if it is better then it is worth it. And yes, all the other bennies are good too.

Thank you all for your help and maybe someday I'll see you in a PBW (which of course I still dont know what the W stands for... wire maybe??)

PBW stands for "Play by Web"

So I purchased the gold Version, and installed the TDM mod and I enjoy it quite a bit. Thank you for encouraging me to buy the gold Version.
My new question is this: After reading which AI races are the most challenging I set them up as players in the game, but they are all set to human players. How do you pick which races to be in the game as computer controlled? I could have just played one turn as them being human, then cliked on the player tab and set them to computer, but this doesnt seem to be the optimal way.
How exactly do you pick races to be computer controlled to your new game?

Thanks
MM

You have to add them, then select them and click the "edit race" box. From there, you need to make sure "under compter control" and "using style from race" are both selected.

You must also go to "empire options" and set all ministers on. Otherwise AI will do nothing. But the best way is as Phoenix-D said - after adding empire, edit it "under computer control" and "use style from the race".
