Default Re: Mega Evil Empire settings?

1) AIs will follow the following MEE rules
2) No empire is MEE unless they have at least 500,000 score
3) Humans are MEE if they have 170% of the 2nd place player's score.
4) AIs are MEE if they have 250% of the 2nd place player's score.

Default Re: Mega Evil Empire settings?

And, just FYI, there is a setting in each of the AI Anger files governing how much more angry they get each turn after Mega Evil is triggered. The default is +50, which is a LOT. They can go from "brotherly" to "murderous" in two turns. This seems a bit sudden to me. I've reduced this setting in my AI files so they take a bit longer. A setting of +20 or +30 is plenty. You'll never be able to compensate for that very long even by bribing them with huge gifts.
