I have download the new patch on 2 separate computers, one XP and one Vista Home Premium. I get the same error when attempting to install:
Error occurred while trying to replace the existing file: DeleteFile failed; Code 5 Access denied

How do I fix this??? please help...

Is it possible to make different maintenance cost percentages for minerals, organics and radioactives?

I can only change them all at once in the settings file:

Empire Starting Ship Percent Maint Cost := 25
Empire Starting Unit Percent Maint Cost := 10
Empire Starting Facility Percent Maint Cost := 10

This may have been covered elsewhere, but I can't find it.

What are the exact terms of the Non-aggression clause of your treaty elements. It seems that Allow colonization in each others system is the only one that is worth the effort.

I mean what are the parameters. I notice the non-aggression in nuetral space seems to prevent colonization in any shared systems. Does anyone know what all 3 mean exactly. The wording is not clear at all.

Has anyone seen that the Population listed in the planet is not up to date with the way it's listed in the data file

for example i'm playing the Proportions mod and the homeworld Pop is 20B/45B ?????

if in the RacialTraits file under Advanced Storage Techniques the boost is ONLY 25% the game shows it as 125% ????

and when I put a colony on a huge world (that i can breath) it shows that the max id only 40B not 50B like it should

thats just my view anyways

Can someone explain me how intelligence works?

I understand the main concept, but,

1. When someone sabotage my empire. How do I know which empire is responsible?
2. How can I defend against sabotage. I see I can sabotage or spy others, but I don´t know how to defend my empire.

Many thanks,

The "move" cursor doesn't change back to a normal cursor if the window it was on was exited via ESC. There may be other means, but this is the main cause of this report.

I have been playingm Space Empires V for a while. i am on version 1.74. I have been playing both standard and the latest balance mod.
