Question about Bugstatus and playability of SE5 ?

[Lohr]

Does the Balance Mod even fix the problems of the AI's, so i may play games with 1 or 2 Player-Empires and 4 or 5 Computer controlled ones, which makes sense?

Otherwise..
I have a problem. On one side, i can't play against AI-Empires to get some practice, 'cause of the non-existant AI-brain. On the other side if i play a multiplayer game with x Players, then it may be that I have to trash my little Empire for sure after 100 or 150 rounds of play, because someone tramples me down, and my little practice of playing SE5 isn't enough.

With the current status with SE5 today, the only thing i can do (from my point of view) is to put the game into the box and on the shelf, and wait for the next 2 patches, before i may have my next look on it.

I hope, i may play a game in SE5 this year, in which it makes sense to play against some AI's and 1-2 human players.

The Balance Mod AI is fairly well developed. Game settings that encourage a decent game are at least 2000 racial points, 500,000 tech points, and a low bonus for computer players.

The next version of the mod, v1.10, will be released in conjunction with the next SE:V patch. It'll have a significantly better AI than v1.09, but will not be save game compatible. It should be available within the next couple of weeks.

Question : Where can I find a table about the amount of bonus of certain population-levels (i.e. for production)? At which levels do i get which bonusses?

@Kwok : Thank you for your recommendation. In this very moment, i play SE5 with you BM for my own, against the computer. I don't think, i may beat the AI's, because of they know all the rules, and me not.
If I survive this game, i'll take those settings you told about above.
My current settings are 2000 Racial Points, 50000 Starting Recouces and no Tech-Points at Start.
