I have included all of the default races with this mod. Custom races will have to have their empire files loaded up as a Random player and then saved so that they will be compatible with the new Racial Trait I've included.
There is a "Human Player" Advanced Racial Trait that must be selected for a player to have access to the full range of Intelligence projects. (There is also a "Human Intel" tech area that is fully researched at the start of the game, but it can be safely ignored as it is only a "kludge" type tech area.)
If the "Human Player" Trait is not selected, an empire (presumably an AI empire) will only be able to use the following intelligence operations:
Ship Bomb
Crew Insurrection
Cargo Bomb
Anarchy Groups
Puppet Political Parties
Technological Espionage
Technological Sabotage
Intelligence Sabotage
Counter - Intelligence Level 1
Counter - Intelligence Level 2
Counter - Intelligence Level 3
If you find any errors in this mod or have any suggestions for it, please post your comments.
I've been thinking of a simpler mod along these lines. Since the AI will not research something unless you tell it to, I was just going to break intelligence into three techs. One would be basic Intelligence which would give only Intelligence Facilities and Counter-Intelligence projects. Most AIs would use ONLY this. Then put Espionage projects into a seperate Espionage tech field, and Sabotage projects into a sabotage tech field. Some "nice guy" AIs might research espionage, but not sabotage. The nasty AIs would research only sabotage and so be able to use it more effectively.
Making a 'racial tech' restriction makes it much more work to mod the AI files again if MM should change something to let you customize the way AIs use intelligence.
