Understanding the AI in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I posted this earlier, but looks like it didn't show up blah. Anyway I'm working on a mod, goal is to speed things up with regards to combat. I also have a few techs and buildings I'd like to add specific to each race. My concerns are with the AI tho. I'm fine with the Dren AI being paired with my new custom race, but what happens if I give this new custom race all diplomacy and trade techs to start with? Will the Dren AI adept and use t

Understanding the AI and debug mode? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I'm working on a mod and of course that means new races. I can accept the AI not being editable thats fine, just means I need to match my new races to the old AI's. I am curious in how the AI works tho. Is it set or does it look overall at the techs I give it to start with and build from there? What happen if I edit the tech tree? For my mod I was planning on ramping things up, shortening the weapon trees and starting races off with weapons

Reply to Weak Drengin AI? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

In the past few Tough games I've played the Torians have bloody well dominated the galaxy.

Well damn. I hope they add the option later. I don't care if I can edit the actual AI, but a drop down menu that lets me choose or an XML tag I can set to pick one of the default AI's would be nice.

What I'd like to know, is it possible to swap the AI's with respect to the races. If I edit the Yor into a different race am I still stuck with the default Yor AI?

Race AI and mods in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I noticed it's very easy to change the built it race's skills and techs. I'm curious about the AI tho. If I give the Dreg diplomatic and trade techs and skills, will they use them? Or will they continue to go the way of the warrior and go war crazy? How does the Ai work exactly and is moddable?

Extremely cool. The ship designer really is far more powerful then I thought.
