Here are the stats for turns 71-100.
The Orks have suffered from the war with the Klingons, also the Vikings captured one of their breathable mining colonies with troops. Let's see, if they can strike back...
Also the Orks and Vikings have been falling behind from their good positions in the early to mid-game, because they haven't researched other colonization tech (I suppose).
Colonization tech (as of turn 80)
Vikings: Ice
Jraenar: Rock, Gas, (Ice is in the queue)
Praetorians: Rock, Gas
UkraTal: Ice, Gas
Terran: all
Xiati: all
Vaxin: Gas
Orks: Rock
Romulans: Gas
Klingons: Rock, Gas
Diplomacy (turn 90):
Norak (me): MA with Vikings, war with Jraenar, TA with Praetorians, war with Terrans, TA with Xiati, P with Vaxin, war with Romulans
Space Vikings: MA with Norak, war with Jraenar, P with Praetorians, P with UkraTal, MA with Terrans, TA with Xiati, TR with Vaxin, none with Orks (I don't know who broke that MA), TR with Romulans, MA with Klingons
Jraenar: war with Norak, war with Vikings, TA with Praetorian, P with UkraTal, war with Terrans, war with Xiati, TR with Orks, war with Klingons
Praetorians: TA with Norak, P with Vikings, TA with Jraenar, MA with Terrans, MA with Xiati, TA with Vaxin, MA with Orks, P with Romulan
UkraTal: P with Vikings, P with Jraenar, war with Orks, P with Klingons
Terrans: war with Norak, MA with Vikings, war with Jraenar, MA with Praetorian, TR with Xiati, P with Vaxin, P with Romulans
Xiati: TA with Norak, TA with Vikings, war with Jraenar, MA with Praetorians, TA with Terrans, P with Vaxin, MA with Orks, P with Romulans
Vaxin: P with Norak, TR with Vikings, TA with Praetorians (the Vaxin-Praetorian war has ended both races are brotherly now towards each other), P with Terrans, P with Xiati, TA with Orks, war with Romulans
Orks: none with Vikings (I don't know who broke that MA), TR with Jraenar, MA with Praetorians, war with UkraTal, MA with Xiati, TA with Vaxin, war with Klingons
Romulan: war with Norak, TR with Vikings, P with Praetorians, P with Terrans, P with Xiati, war with Vaxin
Klingons: P with Vikings, war with Jraenar, P with UkraTal, war with Orks
While I don't know if this just happened by chance or is due to the politics file, I really like the sneaky Romulan diplomacy. Waging war against weaker nations and making peace and partnerships with stronger ones is very Romulan-like (At least AFAIK, not being a hardcore trekkie
).
fleets (in turn 100)
Vikings: 4 fleets 13 / 13 / 3 / 2
Jraenar: 4 fleets 30 / 21 / 20 / 12
UkraTal: 2 fleets 15 / 8
Terrans: 5 fleets 5 / 4 / 4 / 2 / 2
Xiati: 5 fleets 4 / 4 / 3 / 2 / 1
Vaxin: 4 fleets 7 / 3 / 3 / 3
Orks: 5 fleets 2 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 1
Romulans: 2 fleets 2 / 1
Klingons: 3 fleets 20 / 6 / 3
lost research:
Jraenar: turn 75 after Ship Con.6 & Stell. Har.4; turn 90 after missiles5 & combat support2
Terrans: turn 75 after Adv Mil Sci 5 & prop.5
Praetorians: turn80 after Null-Space1 & prop5; turn 95 after Stell. Har.6 & Industry
Romulans: turn 85 after mines3 & Null-Space1
Xiati: turn 90 after Adv Mil Sci 2 & Repair 3
When I checked on the fleets, I noticed that a number of races (Jraenar, Praetorian, UkraTal, Romulan, Klingons, and maybe others that I missed) also build troop transports. Without getting too much off-topic here, let me suggest that you use normal warships hulls rather than transport hulls for the troop ships. Also it might be a good idea to make the minimum size something like BC or BB (depending on your research), since troops are not researched until the late game by these races. Most of the TTs that I have seen were small transports with ion engines I, so they have been sitting in orbit for some time. Check the files of the Aquilaeian, Orks, or Space Vikings for inspiration. BTW, the AI files I am using for the Vikings in this test are not posted, yet. But if anybody is interested, I can send an AI update.
