Dependencies
This mod depends on Missing Expansion, which itself depends on the SR2 Community Patch. The Wake of the Heralds DLC is always required.
Description
Forces the AI on for player Empires, allows configuration of player AI (difficulty, cheats) at the new game screen, and allows runtime configuration of what roles the AI manages.
Current version: 0.4.3
Defects
- I'm having a lot of trouble preventing all the construction that the AI wants to do. In particular it buys a factory right away and it'll fill up fleets for you.
- The tab UI hasn't gotten a lot of love yet.
- This probably doesn't save/load well.
- This probably doesn't work with multiplayer well.
