Description:

This mod combines the ALL AI mod by Dazgrum, which lets you play with more than 9 players on a galaxy, with the added galaxy types, ages, and density settings from 5X – The Ultimate Balance Mod. The prerequisite mods/DLC are optional; just make sure you don’t try to start a game with more races than you have available.

I created this mod because I got multiple reports that ALL AI was not compatible with 5X, and people wanted a compatible version.

Some notes:

• You can choose up to 16 opponents (except on a few smaller galaxy types), but you should not choose more opponents than you have races unlocked. You need both the collector’s edition and the RoA DLC to play with 13 opponents, and you need Mike’s New Races to increase that to 16 (Be sure to load MNR after 5XCPC if you are using this with 5X!). The galaxy will fail to load if you try to play with more races than you have unique races available.
• Playing with more than 8 opponents was never intended by the devs and causes various bugs and UI issues with diplomacy and may cause the galaxy to fail to generate properly on some galaxy types/sizes, forcing you to quit the game with task manager. It should not fail to generate on the largest galaxy sizes at least. It may also cause issues with Antaran attacks, so I recommend you play with Antaran attacks disabled (using a mod that enables the victory without attacks is fine).
• I have only tested this mod on the largest galaxies. It may not load successfully on smaller galaxy types. If it does fail to load on some galaxy, try again as it might just be one seed messing it up. If it doesn’t load consistently, you might be able to get it to load by disabling minor civilizations.
• If the loading bar stopped just short of full when generating the galaxy, the game is still working and you should wait. It can take several minutes to generate the largest galaxy sizes. If the loading bar completely fills all the way without starting the game, then galaxy generation has failed.
• This mod will work with both the original 5X mod and 5X Lite, but you should load this mod after 5X in the mod list. You should not use this mod at the same time as other ALL AI mods.

You can also get a version of this mod with no wormholes.

Version 1.8 update:
Fixed unstable galaxy name not showing up if you don’t have 5X active.
Fixed (hopefully) galaxy generation failures with brobdingnagian galaxy.
