That doesn't make much sense, as the DefaultStrategies file doesn't really affect any other data files - but it wouldn't hurt to have it set up before you do your empire file anyways.

Im a bit confused. I have downloaded the Balance Mod but how do I use it AND the US Mod?. Do I need to copy the US Mod data files into a copy of the Balance Mod so I effectively have the Balance Mod using the US Mod data files for formations and strategies ?.

Yeah, just copy USM's formations and strategies files into the Balance Mod data folder.

I suggest that we do this as the Inner Sphere from FASA's Battletech universe. We don't have to follow their timeline or their specifics, I just think it'd be cool to use their flags, colors, and portraits.

And maybe, just maybe, a gentleman's agreement against glassing. That's a bit out there, but it's something I'd like to propose.

No maybes about it; I agree, and hope others do too.

I prefer to capture planets rather than glass them, so I have no problem with it. Perhaps if some dastardly warlord does glass a planet they will be considered a war criminal. Might we have a limit though. There is a difference between totally destroying a military base of 1 M (1 million is a lot, but its the minimum) and commiting genocide on 4 Billion civilians.

Good idea on the capture only. We are fighting our own distant relatives so wholesale genocide is not as likely.
