Tethys and I were talking and he had an idea of a single player "team play" game
human player would start game with alliance with 1 or more races. The other races that are left could also be aligned or left unknown.
here is how you would start single player team play game
first thing the trek.exe needs to be patched.
!!! Warning !!!
this patch will allow host of Multi-player game to start game before all player select race.
Code: Select all
NAME: single player team play game
AUTHOR: thunderchero
DESC: This patch will allow a single player team play game

in multi player screen "see image"
select "host"
select "network"
add any info in "game name"
add any info in "player name"
select "TCP/IP" (leave "enter host address" window blank)
select "connect"
in configuration screen "see image"
select in victory conditions "team play"
configure other setting any way you want
select "Accept"
in empire selection screen "see image"
set up the teams you want to have an alliances
select race you will play
select "accept"
with the selection screen above I will play Federation and would have an alliance with Klingon AI.
also Cardassians AI, Ferengi AI and Romulans AI would all be in an alliance.
turn 1 main map
turn 1 diplomacy screen
After game starts you should edit saved game to single player game so saved game will load easier.
open saved game with UE
select edit/game/game info
in "type" dropdown menu change "Multi-Player" to "Single-Player"
and save
Now how long will AI go before breaking the alliance?
But it might be an interesting way to play...
enjoy
