really big games

[Nitram Draw]

The AI could always use work but the races in the Mod Pac are much tougher than the standard races. The AI has been reworked on some of the standard races to provide a generally tougher opponent and a few custom races have been included.
Overall the Mod Pack is a great addition to the game. The creators also only limit improvements to tweaks of the original game items, no new stuff is added.
I would recommend you give it a try with you new maps, you should get an even better game than you do now.

In the past Aaron has used some of the suggestions from the AI modders, but the modpack includes a couple of races that cannot be included cause they're based off races in sci-fi serieses/movies. Copyright issues I guess.

Seems to be an error with the link to the map file. I'm getting some kind of internal server error, anyone else having this problem?

The txt file comes out ok so I changed the name to map3.txt and will try that. It worked but now the computer thinks this is a text document rather than a MAP File so SE IV will not recognize it. See post above for fix.

Its definitely only YOUR file that is not working.

Try using the "View/Delete files" link... you may have gone over your max MB limit, or # of files limit.

If the map is really as big as it sounds, it may be too big to upload.

LCC you can probably just delete the Posts, just click on edit option below each post then check the delete checkbox when the new screen loads.

If you edit, you can blank out the attachment box and your broken file links will dissapear.
