I'm giving it a go, playing EA and cursing the Minbari for their bigger better guns. Great fun it must be said.

Just to check a couple of things though
1. The ancients are supposed to be broken.
2. Weapon Platforms can only mount PD weapons.

a. The Ancients are not player-races (they have no research to do) and are just there as a an AI-controlled threat. In one of the versions I failed to include a bridge for the Vorlons and so they are a tad.... slow. I have fixed this in the next iteration, as well as tweaking the AI_research and AI_construction files to make the AI a little better.

b. WPs have only PD weapons in order to make satellites the primary planetary-defense weapons. This conforms with the show and also eliminates complications regarding the types of weapons that could fire out through an atmosphere.

Why does the Maps folder have several superfluous subfolders?

Grumbler: So far so good, Running as EA and no major problems.

1 minor quibble: The Shadows gave me an error message about not finding advanced race trait 4 Natural Merchants. Only saw it at very start of game.

I no longer have a copy of the port of B5 mod to gold (1.8) that used to be hosted on Rambie's site. Could someone with a lot of bandwidth email it to me at nolan dot kelly at gmail dot com?

Yep, forgot to change that trait when I re-activated the Ancients. You can change it to "Lucky" for the nonce.
