Re: Balance Mod AIs
Is it possible to define what levels the the AI will research towards? So that you can predetermine the early phases of research to acheive a good mix of technology. For example: You tell a Crystaline race to research certain techs up to a said level then build a predeterimed ship.
By doing this you are able to program exactly how the ships will be built. ie Weapons, armor, shields, racial traits, etc. It will make the ships be "Cookie Cutter" designs, BUT effective "Cookie Cutter" designs.
Program in a variable that will pick predeterimed ship designs using a preset percentage of the existing designs. ie 40% frigates/destroyers, 30% Light cruisers/cruisers, 10% dreads/BB's, 5% carriers, 5% Support ships. A fleet of 10 ships would break down as 4 Frigates, 3 Cruisers, 1 Dreadnaught, 1 Carrier, and 1 Repair Ship.
The AI will build a balanced force between the size classes while using the predetermined ship configuration.
