Default Re: User Preferences

It varies, but my current vsAI prefernces are:

-Proportions
-wp anywhere in system (easier for AI)
-all wp not connected (delay 1st contact even longer, so AIs will be more developped)
-players can start in same system (It happened to me and it's been a great game.)
-homeworlds not necessarily same size
-high events / high severity
-Max AI + max neutral. (neutrals are cool in proportions - they defend their homeworlds much more closely than regular AIs)
-Simultaneous (it's too easy when you have tactical combat)

My prefs:
  • P&N 3.0 (man, I gotta try proportions though, everyone else seems to be playing it! )
  • Modded settings.txt (SJ's mod, adding proportions-esque pop modifiers)
  • More modding of settings.txt (SJ's bug fix for above settings.txt, found here. (link) )
  • Small, or medium quadrant.
  • Not all WP connected.
  • WP anywhere in system.
  • MAX event probability and severity (eyecandy events.txt).
  • High tech cost.
  • Low tech start.
  • Max # AI, no neutrals.
  • Max AI Difficulty, bonus.
  • 5000 Racial points (of which, I limit myself to 4000).
  • One homeworld=medium starting resources. Otherwise, low starting resources.
  • max ships and units
  • patched TDM races
