newby question: custom AI for proportions

PerpetualNewbie · #1 April 3rd, 2003, 01:59 PM

I couldn't figure out what I did wrong, so I just re-installed Proportions, and did the mods. Works fine this time. Thanks for the tips, I'm slowly getting the feel for the AI.

I'm trying to make one overwhelming AI opponent, mainly by trial and error; I love the modifiability (if that's really a word) of SE IV, tho the learning curve is pretty steep.

oh, that should be easy

just go into cultures.txt and make one with a 100 percent bonus to everything. then, give it to an ai player.

But he wants to mod AI for proportions, not proportions mod

Good luck, NB !

Some more newby questions (sorry, can't find a FAQ with any AI modding info):

1) When the game autocreates a race, I assume it'll use the ai_ files from that race...and from the proportions folder if it exists there?

2) If I use a computer generated EMP file, will changes to the ai_ files affect the AI, or is this info all written into the EMP file and further ai_ files ignored?

Thanks
