When are AI TXT files used in the game?

[God Emperor]

Did you use and rename all of the Earth Alliance txt files? If not, which ones did you use?

[Sinapus]

Yeah, I copied all the files, especially the construction ones. I checked each of them and found that no, I hadn't selected "use race style" for Ministers so that probably was the problem.

I guess I'll start a new game with them, after I modify the research.txt for them and the generic one. Any race that uses mines I put "research explosive warheads 3" into the research line, but it looks like they are still building mines w/lvl 1 warheads.
(That and I need to adjust the colony module so that a lvl I mine will actually destroy a colony ship...)

That was CERTANLY the problem. If you don't select 'use race style', the AI uses default scripts instead of race scripts, which means that Mephisto's mod is not used.

You have to put 'Explosive Warheads' tech before Mine tech (at least 4 techs before in list) if you want AI to build mines with level 3 warheads only.
If you don't AI will use low-level warheads untill he reaches level 3 in 'Explosive Warheads' tech.
