What's the hardest possible setting on large galaxy with TDM mod? (I like epic battles with lots of shootin')

As new player, you could play a challenging epic game, I'm sure.
Just pick 10-12 TDM races, give them high bonus, high computer player difficulty, select 3 starting planets, and play in a large galaxy (you could play a game with 255 systems if you wish, just changing the settings.txt line Maximum Number Of Systems := 100 to 255).
Do not play with neutrals (too easy to capture them an use their people in doomed colonies).

If you want more challenge, you can:
a) select to play a game with 5000 points to create the empire, and then, pick 2000 points yourself (then all the AI players will have 5000 pionts).
b) Select AI vs humans. This is not funny in terms of diplomacy (and anyway this is one of the weak poins of SE4), but you will get the ultimate challenge.

Thx, I'll try those settings soon as I get SE4. Just ordered it, so I'll just stare at my Moo3 box until SE4 arrives

Does the box give more entertainment value than the game itself?

Sadly, yes...every game looks good in the box...

Welcome to SE4, you will surely enjoy the game, the game has numerous good features, tremendous modders, and a friendly forum where flaming is not very well looked upon. all the mods are excellent and well done and the modders are always upgrading them and adding new ones,

stop in at the cantina and have a brewski or two on GT's tab

just some ideas Mac

Moo3 is a Macromanagement game once you accept that and play thereafter the game becomes infinitive better. Still it can't compare against Space Empire IV that easily is the best in the genre.

Perhaps Galciv will change that but I hardly think so.

Anyway I have owned my copy of Se4 for about 6 month now and have not discover the beutiful realm of Se4 mods until now. The Question is what mod to play? I want to play the most advanced mod with the best ai. Which one would you mod veterans say I should try?
