MB,
Wouldnt mind adding the Toltayans and Sallega to the challenger list. Have done a few different things with both of them.

Regards,

You could remove the Xiati (if you use my AI files for them that is) from the list because they are identical to the Narn.

Still I would like to have 3 starting planets (it's just the way I play my solo games!!!), but if more people want less planets, no problem.

It would be nice when the values of the asteroids belts could be more random. In your Last map all of them come with values of 100%. Creating planets for mining/refining/farming was almost impossible.

Is not a problem to me change the values, but I'm against the random solutions, because would be unfair, and because I'm the random factor!!!
Considering that most of the systems has 5 asteroie>quote:

Believeme: really I regret that my language skills are so basics!!!!
Think you want to include the Toltayans and Sallega. If they're different races, it's ok with me.

Thanks to you Atraikius!
And yes, send me the files when you want.

Would it be possible to get another race into the mix? I wouldn't mind checking to see how my own AI's stack up.

Hey, you'll do all the work (as you did the Last time). It's only fair then to use your preferences.

Considering that most of the systems has 5 asteroids, I could create one asteroid for Mineral, other for Farm, other for Radioactives, other for Research/Intel, and one more with possibilities for Mineral/Farm/Rad (for example 120%/120%/120%).

That's exactly what I meant. Instead of "random" I should have written "different" values.

But:
- I'm not sure about how to keep the balance, creating more diversity.
- A system with planets with 140%/100%/100%, would be ok as Farming or Rad, if the AI is lack of resources in one of these things.

Good points, too.

Replace the planets with 0%/0%/0% for something like 70%/70%/70%, it's ok with me.

That would be great.

But if you want something different in the "specialized" systems for resources, as I wrote above, really I'm not sure how to keep it balanced for all the AI's (all the atmospheres including "none", and the Gas, Rock and Ice colonizations).

Again, good point. The only solution I can think of would be raising the number of planets per system and giving it a second thought it's probably not worth the effort.

Then, please don't take offense, and if you want, feel free to change the original map to your taste, and send me a copy. I will be happy to see and apply your ideas if consider it fair for all the kind of races.

No offense taken. That's just fair.

Thanks for including the Khrel. I will send the files on Friday.
