Save Game Edit Question
Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2017 2:40 pm
Hello All,
I was wondering how to properly use the UE in the All-In-1 Installer to edit save game files and successfully change your faction/race mid-game. The AI is really weak and I was thinking to myself that I could build up a faction and then switch to a weaker faction in the middle of the game so I could have more of a challenge.
I used the UE to open a save game file, and found the option under Game Info that allowed me to alter the player's controlled faction; however the computer kept fighting me for control of my new faction every turn, changing ship destinations, build orders, population assignments, etc etc. While I do admit that having to fight the CPU for control of 'the wheel' definitely raised the difficulty level, it was perhaps a bit too frustrating for my tastes.
So, is this impossible to do, or do I need to change another value, or did I simply have a corrupted save file and I should try again?
I did a search for 'change race' and 'change faction' but could not find anything relevant. Since this cannot be the first time someone wanted to do this I imagine I just did not search for the proper terms. I apologize if the answer is in some place terribly obvious, and thank you guys in advance for your assistance in pointing me in the correct direction if this is the case.
Cheers!
