More than nine AI enemies?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hey. Sorry if this has been posted before. I searched, and could not find anything.

Is there any way for the engine to handle more than 9 AI races... not counting minor races. It would be great and have a larger sense of scope(and if my computer could handle it), if I could compete against 20 AI races, not counting minor races... on a truely gigantic map.

No, 9 Majors plus the Minors is the maximum.

You'd have to change the code to allow more than 9 major opponents. I think the race #s are hardcoded in lots of places, so I don't think it's an easy change.

So then while the games polygon counts and stuff will forever remain up to date, the number of oppoents will forever remain unchanged?

Not necessarily, galciv1 started off with 4 opponents and added more. It's just that since all the AI have their own code, it's not something you can just mod with the .xml files. More might come, but only stardock could do it.
