Excellent!

You will probably find that early on, with small fleets, missiles are king.
As the fleets get larger, point defense ships show up, and pave the way for assault ships.

That's when things get really interesting

The big, beefy warships with huge guns are always fun...

Seems that my enemies already have your strategy figured out!

The good thing for me is that I have a propulsion advantage, so I can try to bait him...until my own missile ships roll off the line. And my carrier should make his life hard as well.

I'm getting an error when trying to start a new game.

Unable to load empire XXXXXXX

Where XXXXXXX is the path to a race file like Fazrah.emp

I've never used this mod before.

I loaded original SE4 v 1.60 GOLD. Updated it to 1.94. Installed ImageMod newest version. Installed 1.6 Carrier Battles.

Theoretically this is as clean as it gets!

Please help!

You can't load stock empires. All the racial stuff is different!

Just create a new empire for yourself, and let the game choose random AIs for you.
Easy as that.

If you want to be able to select a shipset that is not in CB by default, go into se4\CB\races and create a new, empty folder with the shipset name.
The game will use the pictures from your root races folder automatically.

AHA! Naturally I wanted to start with my race as a base and tweak it for the CB Mod! Thank you!

I, too, am getting lots of error messages for the missing solid shields research...

When you changed the Racial Traits and tech area files you might have caused some collateral damage to the AI files.

Also do you mind if I work on a modified version of your mod? Just something that I wanted to play around with and if I can get it too work I would like to post it, with your permission.

Do you mean Atrocities' races?

If so, I posted this link in his thread, including the mod, the AIs, and the nessesary tweaks.

Black_Knyght · #**398** July 21st, 2006, 03:22 AM

Not with just AT's races, but some of the others too.

Suicide Junkie · #**399** July 21st, 2006, 08:18 AM

Well, can you guys be more specific about what it is complaining about?

dumbluck · #**400** July 22nd, 2006, 01:12 AM

During the turn execution, I get this error message twice, each time I run a turn. I have gotten this message since turn one of a low starting tech game. I am running the most recent version (with Atrocities races added into the download)
