Sorting empire profiles for mods |
Has anyone figured out a way to keep empire profiles for different mods streight. I've got the balance mod, vanilla, and my own test mod... I've created empires for each of these mods and now my empire folder is getting a little cluttered. They need to be kept separate because in a mod there could be differences in race charactereistcs...
I've been just putting it all in the file name:
"race name 5K balancemod.emp"
My question is there a way to put these .emp files in with the mod, or a folder within the SavedEmpires folder?
as far as I can tell the Load empire from file button during setup will only load from one folder, and if you put subfolders in, it wont recognize them.
Please do that
Captain Kwock please do that; also harass Aaron about putting some sort of event memory for the AI. If it helps the blurb for GC II dark avatar is boasting about there AI doing this.
What is an event memory? I
What is an event memory? I would expect that the AI remembers that I just attacked his planet last turn. Or is it enough that the AI knows it's at war with me, and it tries to attack me at where ever it can.
SEV, more than a feeling.
Event memory is that the AI
Event memory is that the AI remembers that it sent a ship through Warp Point X, and it got hit by 3 ships and destroyed. The AI should remember this and send a fleet to clear that gate. Rather than continuely trying to send individual ships through that gate to be destroyed.
This should be further advanced so that the AI calculates how many ships are on the other side and sends a fleet it thinks can clear the gate.
I would add in the capability that if the AI was unable to deal with a defended gate for a year or more it should 1st send a scout ship (either a dedicated ship with cloaking, or just a peice of old / cheap rubbish) to gather more upto date information before launching a fleet through the gate.
It should also be told to equip any gate breaker fleet with a mine sweeper if it has the technology.
Good points
Cordas that’s more or less exactly what I meant. Rilo57 as all the AI seems to remember at the moment is how much cumulatively you have P'ssd it off but not how when and where. If it (the AI) did remember how when and where we would make it a better AI to play against.
sorting empire profiles into mod based sub folders would be a good feature on a game one of whos great strengths is its modability
Take SEV to the next level.
I have to say this event memory concept is hitting the nail on the head. That alone (if moddable) could really take this game to the next level.
SEV, more than a feeling.
Indeed!
Ditto on this, its the weakest point of the AI. Especially with it repeatedly sending colony ships through a guarded warp point and such 
I am thinking we could program in some random values now with the code but it'd be much more effective if Aaron could cook something up.

No mod specific .emp folder
Unfortunately there is no folder navigation for loading files. I should stick it on my nag list.
