1 Question with some Praise

My question:
As I understand the modding you must put everything into a theme?
For example I want a couple of races there is not way to just create the races and use them..they must be part of a theme?


If...if the AI lives up and can be half way decent this could be the greatest 4x game EVER!! I have only played around for about an hour. I did see one thing I liked.

I went to war with another empire and after the war I looked where the AI parked my one refueling/supply ship. The AI parked it right where I would have parked it. In the middle of empty space between my empire and theirs with an escort. Kudos.

You don't *HAVE* to put them in a theme if you don't want to. But using themes (i.e. a folder under the Customization folder) allows you to easily switch between multiple sets, including the default DW settings.

Thanks for that feedback - the resupply ships try to find the best fuel source near your enemy, but not visible to the enemy. Glad to hear it's working well.
