HiHi

Anyone know?

If you start a Multi-player game say with the AI running 3 slots can late entries take over one of the AI slots.

Conversly in a Multi-plaayer game if a human player drops out can they be replaced with another Human player or does the slot automatically go to the AI/cease to function.

All the Best

You'd have to edit the save files, and apparently it isn't easy.

I haven't done this sort of thing myself, but I do know that you would need a text-editing program, such as Notepad+ (not the version of Notepad that comes installed on computers). If it's important enough you can try poking around in the files.

Peter takes 10 steps backwards, grins broadly, and Exits stage left screaming "I need the loo!"

Thanks for the quick response Gil, fraid that sort of stuff gives me the HeebeeeGeeebeees. Still, good to know in case it is ever needed.
