Captain,

There is another post talking about the AI's and giving them Ancient Race traits. They claim the computer play better with it. Can you edit that into your stock empires or are you (or the program) already giving the AI's that edge? (see everything)

Romulus68 - If you start a new game with the option "Players can see all sectors of the solar system regardless of system" it should do the same thing, you just have to not "Cheat" and look around.
I played 1 game like this and had massive fleets attacking multiple targets each turn - This was a stock game too.

Players can see all sectors work even better, since it removes fog of war, which is what's really crippling the AI. Ancient Race will really just improve AI performance the first few turns, as it doesn't have to explore and such.

Some of the AIs will add the ancient racial trait when they have 3000 or 5000 points to spend.

Using the players can see all objects in a system setting (SE:IV style) will certainly kick up the AIs performance.

With all the shipsets,races going to be made I think BM should keep the stock flags.Release the smaller flag mod as an optional download.

Good work BTW.

I read that Version 1.00 is certainly not compatible with earlier games but I was still hoping I could keep my empire file.
Starting a game being able to build Baseships on turn 1 is pretty good.

Some feedback for you Kwok about version 1.0:

- The AI expansion seems much better with rapid colonization of other systems.
- Treaties proposed of the AI make much more sense.
- In my game all AI empires are extremely eager to make a treaty. The next turn after I meet them they usually propose a first treaty. While this is good for some races, I would suggest you have some variety with races that will make treaties only rarely.

Very good work! Thank you very much for this mod.

In verizion 1.00 I actually had the AI lay a minefield!

I tend to agree that the AI's are a little too quick to offer a treaty. In a small map you get overwhelmed with treaty offers from every race you are in contact with.

So far, I like V1.00 and hope the AI's will be more agressive.
