Re: "Mega Evil" in setting.txt
I just realized (again) how great this board and the community is. From the question posted to the 100% satisfactory answer it took only half an hour. Even if an answer existed in the manual (not sure if it does or not), it would probably taken longer to find the correct page  .

Re: "Mega Evil" in setting.txt
Speaking of MEE, could anyone let me know if they have seen the Zorians go hostile and break thier treaties after you go MEE. I changed the setting in thier anger file to -50, and the times that I have had a partnership with them before going MEE they have stayed brotherly, and have not broken their treaty.

Re: "Mega Evil" in setting.txt
What I've done in my games is set the MEE threshold to 1500 (since that's really in thousands, it equates to a score of 1.5 Million; fairly easy to acheive in a large (255 system) galaxy). I left the percentages as they were, though.
As others mention, it doesn't slow down the AI once they decide someone has reached MEE status, but at least it takes a little longer to reach MEE. And that may be all you need...

Re: "Mega Evil" in setting.txt
Different AI anger values gives me an idea for the scenario:
Let's make a super-powerful but benign race. It may have special racial techs for high production but restricted weaponry and very peaceful AI settings. Now, let's split races according to +50 and -50 MEE anger but otherwise very peaceful settings. Very soon galaxy will go into two alliances fighting each other ! Army of Light and Army of Darkness. Or more accurately suckers and rebels.

Try using a +50. I believe that "-50" means a big decrease in anger ... which would make them friendly towards the MEE player

If I am not mistaken that is exactly the point about the Zorians.
