	Making the game more interesting Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Everyone knows that fighting against AI is too simple: after the first 50-100 turns you have the possibility to fight against all faction without risks, and in 150-200 turns you have the power to wipe out all the factions in a couple of turns.
But I've discovered a method that make the game much more difficult (and interesting):

1. Select "Scenario" at the beginning of the game
   
2. Select "Modify Faction Strategy"
   
3. Select one faction
   
4. Select all the options
   
5. Repeat this for the other factions
   
6. Without doing anythings (Save,Exit...) select "Begin New Game"
   
7. Enjoy your play!

	Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

I think from reading other old threads people know this, but do not want to have to go into scenario and do this process for each faction. Also you cannot use the random faction option with this mode. From what I understand others are looking for a way to use all random options by writing into the program to make the AI more powerful, or think it is, because it behaves different then. I do agree with what you are saying though because the one base challanges on huge maps or static starts(pressing enter without doing anything for 30-50 turns at start of game)do let the AI get a power chart lead and they do seem to behave differently.

Yo Vultur, I created that quote for Cha Dawn. You can use it, but give props to me.

Vultur:

Thanx for input vultur, have done some similar modifications to text, but haven't had time to test them through a whole game.
It really sucks when real world obligations conflict with my smac playing....lol.
