I need someone's GC with a new faction to work off of, take my turrets as advance payment...(I still don't get the difference...I think that we are all forgetting something in the turrets, as well as the conquests...) Yes my turrets work in skirmish Factions.xml/Expansion_Factions.xml tell what AI it uses. You can choose any of the existing AI types and add to it, they seem to work for skirmish - they try to build the stuff from the other faction but can't, so they revert to builing stuff from their own faction. Apparently the AI are active in GC as well...I was playing against my new faction and it exceptioned - meaning, the AI actually moved its fleet to attack. (The only reason it ever exceptions now, I've played GC completely without it using every single unit, no exception...well at least the exception told me one thing >.<) Oh right that the enemy thing...shoot. *goes over and checks*
