Making the AI more agressive

Thanks for all the help.
On the Game setup screen, where you create an
empire and add it, can you create all the empires
with different advantages and traits and if added
to the game list will the computer use them.

Yes, it will use them. Add them to your game, click "Edit" and make sure that "Compzter Controlled" is "Controlled by Computer" and "Use Race Minister Style" is "Using Style from Race".
Try this link for more agressive AIs:

If you want a very aggressive AI race, study the Rage. They are one of the most aggressive I've played against.

Thanks for the help.
I've played a few games of SE4 Gold and after
reading the Posts on this forum I've experimented
with the data files a bit.

I'd appreciate it if someone could explain the
settings below:

AI Fleets:
%fleets to use for defense - if I set this lower
would the AI attack
more?

%ships for fleets - if less would the AI use
raider ships in attacks?

AI Settings:
max systems to defend - 3 seems to be usual but
why not defend more?

max maint % of revenue - I saw a post on this and
I've tried setting to
150 (instead of 80),
does anyone have any
idea if this makes the
AI build more?

Thnaks again, hope you had a pleasant Christmas.
