When I say "tweaked AI" why I am referring to giving the AI's in a game some advantages, such as sweetened starting locations (i.e. nutrient/ mineral bonuses, or starting in the Jungle, etc.), or a preferable Secret Project.
As far as tweaking the Alphax.txt file, why many different things can be done here. For instance, you can change the intensity of Artillery damage, or enable your Sea Formers to build Sea Buoys and Sea Boreholes, or be able to build submarines with Doc: Init , and Aircraft Carriers with Doc: AP. I can also sink the Unity Wreckage and give its discoverer a Unity Submersible, instead of the traditional Mining Laser! So if you choose to edit the Alphax.txt file, its almost a "Wish List" as far as what people want for a game - its more what eveyone agrees upon as far as a game is concerned, and from there its wide open....

Fine by me if you want to join, what does everyone else think? It's a straight AC game though not ACX. So what kind of setting does every body want..? I'm ok with leaveing the alpha.txt file the way it is though getting submarines early might be interesting (and more realistic) have never used them really by the time I get them sea power is an after thought. If you want to give the computer choice starting positions thats ok as well!

What does everyone else think?

The easiest way to boost the AI is to give them some forest around their start site. Makes up for their terrible terraforming choices!
