Ultimate Strategies Mod - Suggestions Wanted!

[Fyron]

Essentially. You could still add strategies manually via the in-game strategies window, however. Somewhat of a hassle, so just add the ones you want, when you want them.

The DefaultStrategies.txt file is only read when you create your empire file. It is never read after turn 1. You can stick it in any mod and use the strategies from it, even. Then, create your empire. Hit begin game. Process one turn. Save your empire file. This will ensure that you get the custom strategies available in the multiplayer game. If the game is actually using USM, this procedure is unnecessary. It is only needed if the game is using a different mod or no mod.

I also use JUST your (USM) DefaultStrategies.txt file copied to the MOD DATA folder I am currently playing - AND IT HAS BEEN GREAT FYRON

THANKS

I believe I tried this...I tried to run my PBW game and it said that the date files were not the ones the game was started with. Did you do this to a game alredy in progress?

It only works for new games. However, it should not have done that for the strategies file... did you place the Formations.txt file in there as well?

More formations, more strategies, tweaks to existing stuff to make it better, etc. The mod is far from perfection.

Well if it only works with new games...then that is the problem. This is an currently running game. So I can't add these new files then...

Well, I'm been *****ing about this before

What about a set of formations with Reversed placement?
As it is all formations places the oldest ships in front and the newest in the back. Sometimes the fleet composition is such that the opposite way around would do much better.
