Newbie Question

[JoeViterbo]

Hi there!

I have a little question on starting a game:
if the computer is allowed to add random races, does he choose them from the predefined races or does he create totally new ones? It is important for me, as i want to play against the pre-defined races but don't want to know against which ones I play.
Especially with the Star-Trek-mod. I don't want to have the computer play the klingons against their known behaviour.

So far I can say, SEIV is a great game. It's a perfect replacement for the boring ***3.

Thanks!

It picks from a pre-defined list of races; adding them this way is not really different than adding them by hand.

Thanks!

Thats how i like it. I don't want to know my enemies, until i made first contact ;-)

The Klingons are really not much worse than many other stock races. It's those Romulans who often seem to take an instant dislike to me.

SE add random races from the "your favorite mod if any"/pictures/races folder. There is no danger you'l get Terrans in your ST game

Technically though, the randomly-generated AI races are slightly different than the ones hand-picked from EMP files. They will select slightly different abilities - there are variations of each AI race which only appear if you randomly generate them.
