It is inefficient, but effective enough. Use it as a base for a more advanced one or use it alone. I don't care. Bottomline, I ran a small playtest and the AI seemed to happily carry alon

Why do you want to lag out the game that much sooner with 10x the fleet supply? Isn't the idea to enjoy it for as long as possible?

[quote who="quantumelixir" reply="2" id="3179647"] I suppose modifying the entity manifest is a saner way to achieve the same effect.

If you are removing research from a race, you'll have to remove it from the Player files, E

It would have been simpler to just remove the Titan Factory from the tactical build list in the player entities for each race. That would of saved you more time. It would also be easy to remove the Titan research altogether: Player entities, entity manifest, and maybe some window files. Requires more work, but AI wouldn't waste their time on it at that point.
