Hello everyone, greetings from a newbie!

Just installed the tdm-modpack.. (gold Version) The problem is that during the AI move phase I get error Messages about AI design creation errors in the tdm\pictures\races´. Seems like there are some unknown default strategy values like "long weapons range" and "Drone planet attack". Should I try reinstalling the mod or something or is this normal?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hmmm, I thought it was fixed before. It happens because .emp files were generated before changes to strategies.txt Try do not use existing .emp files and let SE generate AI players randomly.
If problem persist, check what race cause it and take a look on AI_strategies file in the race directory.

BTW, be sure it is gold-TDM Version for gold-SeIV

Ok, it seems that the orks are misbehaving. Their strategies.txt has a few strategies that no other empire seems to have (didn't check all though) and the game doesn't recognize.

fighter intercept, drone planet attack, long weapons range at least.

I'm no expert on editing txt. files so I guess the easisest solution is to simply remove the orks race file... hate the bloody bastards anyways

Did you load the latest TDM Version ? I remember the similar complaints but TDM people swear to fix it ! Still, I don't think randomly generated Orks should give this message. It is empire file that is not good !

Here is a bit of a glitch that I found in one of the AI files (EEE_AI_General.txt to be exact). Their planet type is set to Gas, not Gas Giant, and this is causing them to begin the game with no starting planets. I edited the file, and they start properly now. I don't know if this is an older glitch (I dl'd the modpack back in late March), or if it is a current one. It's just a minor one...unless you like playing as/against the EEE that is .

Yah. Back when I first dled TDM Gold, few months ago, I got Messages like that. I just tracked each message down as it hit me though and changed the text to something valid that seemed to fit.

The game recognizes new strategies in the strategy.txt files just fine. They do not cause errors.

I have fixed the EEE files. Please, when you find such an error, let me know so I can fix it for all!
I couldn't find any problems with the current Orks. Can you please post what evrsion of TDM you are using or even better what Version of the Orks?
