Creating opponents

2 things, we should have a database of potraits with much more options than what exists in the game when we want to custom our opponents. It'll make it more fun to match the personality with the alien portraits, as it is, we end up using the one's that exists!?

Second, I don't know if this is a bug, but when I custom the AI's abilities and financial (tax vs yours) meters, it keeps on changing when I go to the number of oppponents menu. Meaning after I finish customing my opponent, then when I want to edit my opponent again, those settings I mentioned have changed??

Check out some of the packages that people have kindly uploaded in the Library on this site - The Star Control package is especially good.

With all these new races you are making, you will also need some new Logos - again there are more logos than you can shake a Dregin at in the Library here.

i'm not exactly sure what you're trying to describe here. when i edit my opponents in the 'choose opponents' screen, the changes stay until remove the race in question on a new map. if you want to permanently edit this info for a given, pre-made race, you can do so via modding raceconfic.xml; for a custom race, find the race's info in my games/dark avatar - the appropriate tags are obvious, just make sure to use correct values (the ones displayed in the game).
