On addition, i really love SE4. It is my favourite game, and i have a lot of games. I just think that the AI is pretty dull, stupid, cheats and doesnt mean a challenge at all. I love SE4, but only when modding or playing against humans.

This is by far one of the best games ive ever played. And the big plus is when you beat it and its looking like its going to get boring...you just find and install the mods that these fine individuals have created to breath new life into the game. Outside of Everquest this is the top game in time ive spent playing, and im a huge gamer.

The ai on SE4 is pretty good for an ai. I mean its easy to tell its not a human opponent but it can put up a challenge.

I understand what Ragnarok-X means, The AI isn't the best part of the game. But I agree more with Bobhouse, I saw 'Worse' AI than the one from SEIV.

And indeed, use TDM-mod, put all the AI settings to high and play against only 8 or 10 AI on an large map............

But if you want diplomacy, Go for PBW/Multiplayer (I don't think you will have an very hard time to find people to play on this forum.)

Thank you for the feedback everyone,

I tried to look for Neo-standard pictures mod. The only thing I found was Neo-Expansion Pack at www.spaceepires.net So is this the same mod?

One more thing, should I install all these mods after applying the latest SE4Gold patch? Does it matter in which order the mods are applied?

Thanks again,
Tweek

You should install the SE4 patch first.

The Neo-Standard is defined on this site: http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/neostand.htm

The Neo-Expansion Pack is a collection of images matching this standard for the stock shipsets. It just adds new images that mods can make use of.
