Well, I was meaning in terms of aggression and things that can be configured on the faction personality/strategy menus.

My thought would be to make them submissive, but otherwise au natural, as probably all players chose their Pact Factions based on how the AI typically performs .

Puppets is now ready to go. Your email addresses and password requests please. These games have been delayed long enough.

The Naval game is less ready than I thought because my CPUs are refusing to expand no matter how I cajole them. I'm attempting a few workarounds. I am reminded that the only time I've seen large Pirate factions was by the year 2350 and its probably been the best part of a year since I played a game past 2250.

Any progress with the naval game?

[Senethro]

I've been studying for an exam and not looking into it so much just while Darsnan was away. I'd moved from having a weak AI that doesn't expand to a AI with lots of unfair advantages making it initially strong in terms of production/research, but without a clue how to attack or expand. The AI factions in this last version would be resources to be mined by aggressive players.

Darsnan is back.

When you are ready but take your time.

So should we give up on this?

Well Senethro, is this something you can do for us? If not, just let me know and I'll see about someone else building the games.

Both the maps are made, Puppets is ready to go as soon as Googlie shows his face in this thread, (I've chased him about a few other forums), Naval Game is just deeply unsatisfactory with the AI consistently underperforming. I've also been ignoring it as I have an exam in one week that I've been studying for. I've been limiting my SMAC activities to my PBEM games and 'poly. Sorry for the inconvenience, I should have posted this sooner.

[Senethro]

They're done, both finished. I'm going to post up 2 turn tracking threads where those who have lived long enough to see them come can regroup.
