Making the AI more agressive

[PeterD]

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.
