questions about devnull mod
Two questions (bear in mind that I'm at work and haven't actually installed the files--just looked at the readmes):
1. There are all sorts of changes and additions. The readme gives Version history but doesn't actually explain what the new weapons, etc., are or how they work. Shouldn't there be some text somewhere explaining in detail--such as a manual--what everything is, how the changes are intended to affect gameplay, etc.? (The only thing that gets explained in detail are the space monsters.) If I install, I feel like I'm going in completely blind, with no clue how to change my play style to account for changes to the base game.
2. How does the mod work with TDM AIs? I notice in the readme for the Vikings, for example, that it says you shouldn't combine it with other mods. But is this devnull Vikings AI the same as the TDM AI (and I'm assuming the TDM AIs are considered the "gold standard")? If not, what sort of tradeoff will I have to take for using one or the other? And what about the many other TDM AIs that don't appear as devnull AIs? Do I just have to do without them or just use the stock AIs in that case (yuck)?
