Stone Mill, that is an awesome idea. Maybe victory will only be bragging rights, but I'm in.

MB, could you post save game files every so often for each of the games so we the "spectators" can see what the AIs are doing to each other?

Sure.
The only problem is the size. I'll keep savegames every 10 turns, but considering that will be lots of games, Shrapnel will kill me!

Well. The list was closed and after compile all the named races... the number was exactly 24!

Here are all the voted AIs:

Jraenar
Klingons
Praetorian

I have just posted Version 3.0 of the Rage. If it is not too late, I would like them to be the Version in the contest.

For the sake of redundency, here is the link:

Edit for corrected link. Somehow I previously uploaded the wrong Zip file.

Sure Alpha, I will use the Last files.

Well, we have our first winner!
Yep, the United Flora have defeated the EEE. Was something easy for them, I think. Believe that the main problem with the EEE was their expansion.
Here is the link: UFlora_vs_EEE_G1.zip

Now are fighting the Drakol vs Azorani.
The Azorani go first (turn 85), but looks a balanced game.
EDIT: Turn 273 and the game seems decided for the Azorani. The Drakol where out of minerals during a long time.
Edit2: The game has been finished and the Azorani are the winners.

Now are fighting the Aquilaeian Vs Orks.
I'll going to sleep and tomorrow will see the result...
EDIT 3: I'm still here! ! Turn 178 and the Aquilaeian have the advantage and think will win the match.
Now, really I'm going to sleep!!!

The latest Versions of the shipsets (EEEvil and StarWars Emp1) are at Kuat Drive Yards. The Regency is one of John Beeches and is at Universal Ship Yards. (dont' actually know who did the AI for it).

As for compatibility the ones I have work fine with the latest se4 Version.

If you can't get to them though I could post them here. (edit)

Something odd happened in the Drokol vs. Azorani match. I checked the Azorani designs at turn 100 and none of the designs were correct for Azorani. There was an armed colonizer cruiser that does not exist for the Azorani, and weapons for attack ships were a mix of missiles and PPB. Then I checked at the end of the game and the designs were a mix of the above designs and standard Azorani designs. I noticed that many of the designs were named Design nnn, so I wonder if there was a cross-up of some sort with the Drakol on design names.
