Greetings!

I've posted the v1.14b batch for the Balance Mod for use with the new v1.74 SE5 patch. I threw in a number of AI additions from the forthcoming BM v1.15 update as a bonus.

You MUST have v1.14a installed prior to applying this patch! You can't just apply it to a v1.14 copy!!!

Find it here:

The details:
[code]
1. Fixed - Error in the AI's starting tech selection
2. Changed - Improvements to the AI's retrofit and scrapping routine
3. Changed - Improve the AI's definition of low and high resource states
4. Added - The AI will evaluate each of its ship's orders to see if they are still valid

Reflexive Arcade is a game company that sells very mediocre games at high prices like 20 bucks. Normally I wouldn't bother telling you this, but something has annoyed me.

One of their games is a Dungeon Crawler called Fast Crawl. Upon playing it I realised something nasty: they use Space Empires V soundtrack! And Warlords IV!

Was this approved by the evil CEO's of Strategy First?
Shouldn't something be done?

Thanks for reading.

although i love the way the balance mod works i deeply dislike the way ship sizes have been altered. crusiers and battleships are far less
powerful than they should be due to constrants in size that in my mind naval wise should not exist. I miss the ability to make the larger
"battle" class destroyer leaders and the ability to make battlecrusiers
from the larger crusier sizes. is their a way to alter the ship
size back to the original game without the loss of the AI improvement
and other goodies in the balance mods? thanks!
