What are the Traits, Culture and Demeanors of your new Pirate race?

This may help me in creating the Speech file for you.

Thanks, John

Demeanor := Aggressive
Culture := Zealots
Happiness Type := Peaceful
Planet Type := Ice
Atmosphere := Oxygen

Why peacefull ? because peace is the best way to win in SE IV ! (and neutral is impossible to manage for an AI controled race).

Pirates are parasites, but they know that they can't fight against the whole galaxy at the same time. So if they manage to make friends, they will try to keep them as long as they can (as long as they have a good reason to not attack them ). I would like them to have a haughty, colorful and often familiar language. Hope this will help, thanks for your interest.

Great, I am on it.

I am going to send you a revised Politics, Anger and Settings files from the AIC Xiati Race; who are schemers in nature for you to use as you will.
I think you may find it interesting Its on the way now.

Ok, I was wondering what was the purpose of these files...

In brief, what is supposed to be the AI behaviour with those AI files ?

[JLS]

In theory. (At least what I am trying to accomplish)
Xiati will offer and except many treaties and then at some point after 51 Turns Break only one treaty; with a comparably weaker player. But not declare war on that weaker Player, hoping to capture a few planets and then sue for peace, again.
It may resemble that Pirates parasite role your looking for.
It can't hurt to look, you may able to use some
But may need some TDM changes.

Trooper, do you have a Image (Portraits) of your Pirate race yet, I think I found one and I can do them up for you, if you would like?
