I have Played with Version 3.00 and also upgraded from 3.01to v3.01a and in all the games the Neutral does build Yards and bases.
The v3.01a game I have now, the neutral has 13 bases 5 of which are Yards, all have more then 10 and theirs one with 18 Base. Also a No Warp Game.
However, as far as I can tell, all the Neutrals are now and have been making yards and plenty of bases.
I play with veiw all and all the AI is doing GREAT, maybe to great.
Is it all Nuetrals, or just the one with a a problem? Which race was it?
When you logged into that Neutral, you must have seen the Design for Base Yards. Are you also saying the Neutral has no Space Yard Facility as well? When you loged in did you see if that AI could build one? Oleg, just published a game on the Forum, where the AI made and lost tons of ships.
I just started 3 different games real quick and all the Nuetral have Yards
Did you add or install another Mod over AIC… AIC is not compatible with other MODs until Version 4 comes out.
What starting options are you using, other then No Warp? Can you Email JLS your Savegame?
