Default Please help

I have 1.30 and the modpack 1.6 (the latest one from Mephisto etc.). I have my settings set to 5000 racial points.

I like to tweak the races I compete against. I load them, then change them a bit, and then save them back onto their original slot. Does this damage the AI routines the modders have programmed in?

For example, the XiChung have both a 5000 point setting and an "expert" setting... I had loaded the expert setting, then tweaked a little, then resaved it over the old entry. Is this okay or have I hurt the programming you did for their race?

I have done this with just about every race (modpack and old races) so if it does hurt them I should probably re-install and start over.

Thanks for your help, and if I didn't explain it well enough please let me know.

Thanks

Jason2

Those changes may change some things for the AI, but I am not sure. Just a hunch, but I would think it would.

Your changes to the .emp files won't affect AI or any routines. So you can go ahead and change them as you like.

The only thing about these .emp files is that they contain some special strategies for that specific empire (in this case Xi'Chung and Sergetti - I don't know about other empires in the mod). If you add empire using these .emp files, the empire will use these strategies as well. You can mod Xi'Chung and Sergetti .emp files (and save them after that) without fear, because that won't change special strategies located in them.
