Dark Nova 4.27 for SEIV Question

[Tnarg]

I have been playing the Dark Nova 4.27 Mod for SEIV and am really impressed. Great mod, excellant tech tree and the AI is giving me a pretty good run for the money. I am just beyond my 100th turn and I have noticed that none of the 19 other AI are building troops or fighters. Any one ever notice this back when you might have played this mod?

Yes, that is something I've noticed. The AI does have designs for troops and fighters. Despite my best efforts I cannot figure out why.

Though DN4 has been a several-year project, I only just began looking at AI modding within about 6 months prior to SEV coming out so I'm fairly new to that aspect of Modding. If anyone has suggestions, I'm more than willing to fix it. I do have a plan to release DN4.28 which will fix a few things, but I don't have a time frame just yet.

Oh, and thanks for the positive comments. Glad you are enjoying it.

Have you looked at the reference info on the SE Wiki?

I have not. but now that you've pointed it out I will.

AI problems with fighters and troops aside, this seems like it would be a great PBW game that would last for quite a long time. Has anyone ever played this mod with other players?

There's currently an active PBW game using it, and it has open slots available for three replacement players.

DN4 was designed with PBW in mind, actually. And Dark Nova 5 is following that tradition, but it could be a while before it's ready for release.
