HercMighty and other new Players to AI Campaign.

Starting your first real game, at just for moderate play (top * trait choice) is very difficult for the Beginner

The AI responds like real Human Players, somewhat; All demeanors and cultures and other little intricacies are in constant play with the AIs personalities for AI Campaign.
Hypothetically, when you start near a Human Player that is Xenophobic by nature, you can expect him not to want much to do with you, no matter what you have to offer; early. If you bug him, he may lash out you. However, there is some flexibility, if he is not to aggressive. Well the same applies to:
The Zyanara AI, which is a Xenophobe by nature but does not have an overly aggressive personality, so you can expect this AI race to be a little flexible in, time.

If you have 6 or more systems and your stuck behind the Zyanaras for a while, you will do better then fine in the end, with patents

If you wish to start a new AIC game you could choose:

Human Player Opt 1: Which may be boring to you, at your currant level of ability.
This options tempers all AI races a little so they may act more trusting and enter in agreements earlier then a Moderate game. Although be on guard even at this level the Psychopathic races still may start getting difficult after many years have gone by. Option 1 also gives you increased production and a higher Race bonus to spend on anything you want and if you want… This is a good introductory level to some of the facilities, ship operations, components, basic concepts, etc. that AI Campaign offers.

Human Player Opt 2: May be the perfect choice for you The Moderate game has a somewhat unforgiving economics module for the Human Player. Option 2 is much easier in regards to Economics ONLY, and is not recommended for [Finite play] do to the fact you get a much higher Proportions of Resources right from the start. Note: The AI WILL be a little more crafty at this level.

Human Player Opt 3: Is recommended to experienced player, as a option.

Human Player Opt 4: Is Just recommended to the very experienced player, as a option.

Please note: Irregardless of what trait options you choose, the top * Trait selection must be selected.

Also adding Computer Player bonus: Any setting other then [NONE] Should be considered by experienced players.
My recommendation is to start at the default of {None} for all players for most games!

I hope you stick with it
