Set up and Mod questions

[tomwhalen]

I have some basic questions. What are the differences between computer controlled empires and neutral empires? Do the neutral ones just hang out in their original system? If I choose no neutral players, do I get more computer controlled empires?

Does one create a new computer controlled empire by adding it to the pictures\races directoy? Will the computer select it when it generates a game?

What does Sun_devil's AI mod buy me? Can I put it in the Modpack directory?

don't know about more empire type AI. but yes, the neutrals just hang out in their 1 system...

and Sundevil's mod tweaks the AI's anger and politics files. he has these tweaked files for all the default and some of the MOD-ed races. and yes, if you have 1.27 and MODPACK 1.6 the tweaked files go in their respective race folder (there are file(s) for EACH race in other words) in the mod directory.

on the new race: depends on if you d/l it from Online or created it "in game". in game, once game is started, click on the submenu used to save/end game and pick create empire, name it then save.

if d/l race then place its folder in the pictures/race folder.

and yes, the game will use the race. if no .emp (empire) file then it will use the shipset and AI general file .
