I don't know what it was that made the Space Vikings friendly at first. But I was real supprised when I went MEE and the took a planet in my home system. The bastards didn't even have the decency to use a transport hull, the troops were on a cruiser.
It caught me completely by suprise and made me so mad I had to walk away from the computer for a little bit.
I used long range scanners to make troop ship destruction a top priority after that.

Re: TDM mayhem
Vikings are Ice race. If you started as Rock/Gas, there is little overlap at first and Vikinks stay friendly. It can be changed of course by tweaking their AI_Angry file.

Glad you're enjoying them, but the AI isn't mine. I've never even attempted AI modding (Except for the odd speech file=-). Credit for the Vikings AI goes to Rollo. I just did the graphics. I really ought to finish them somewhen...

I believe that was kind of the intention: They are loyal and trustworthy allies but unforgiving (and deadly) enemies. |

Re: TDM mayhem
what happens if I tweak the race details on the plaer setup screen so that the little buggers are a rock/oxygen race just like me (I do this with all races in my games in the vague hope the devils will start invading) - I guess I am just a natural born footsoldier

Re: TDM mayhem
If you change Planet type, say from Ice to Rock,
you should also edit AI_research file. Open it with word processor and look out for "Rock Planet colonization" and change it to "Ice planet colonization". Otherwise they will not research ice planet colonization up to the end of the game.

Re: TDM mayhem
I edited Vikingks (actually I have only Valkyries, but they are supposed to be the same) research file:
1029158696.txt
It can be used with both Ice and Rock starts
(I just added research Ice after research Rock)

Re: TDM mayhem
Dogscoff, you worry me with this Vikings/Valkyries predilection of yours.. what is next, a race based on an ABBA tribute band?
