No, just create a new empire yourself. You will be allowed the choose the race pics. You will have to choose all the settings yourself though, so it may not match the designer's intention. But, what do those designers know anyway.

LOL! I see. Thanks. So those sets sans emp files are just graphics etc. and the emp files sets its bonuses, etc. Gottcha. Thanks for all the help. I've used up all my newbie questions for the day.

Hehe, just be careful, when making your own .emps that you at least get the racial traits correctly . Otherwise the AI might be ... uuhm.. not quite as effective. Generally speaking it is a good idea to use the .emps provided with the race, because the .emps can contain also settings that cannot be specified in the normal AI textfiles (whether or not the AI moves through minefields, some strategies etc.).

Which begs the question: Why do the Ferengi, Klingon, The Original Star Trek and Trekos files up from Atrocities seem to lack emp files? Perhaps I'm missing something? Hmmm. Anyway, I'm now over my daily newbie limit on questions. LOL

Hmm, I don't know. I know that the Klingons and Romulans from the TDM-Modpack have .emps. Maybe the AI on those other races is not finished or whatever. Guess, we have to wait for Atrocities to reply . If you create your own .emps, you can look onto the _AI_General.txt file that should be in the race folder to find out about the racial traits.

PS: [shameless plug] ..and don't forget to include the Space Vikings in your games (using the .emps) [/shameless plug]

Ah, excellent . Feel free to post any good/bad feedback (especially the bad) in the Vikings thread. This will help for improvements in the future.

Have fun,
Rollo
