Make a zip file with your race, policy, and designs included and post it up. The only time I've run into this problem is when the tech levels are very different. That doesn't sound like the case. Your policy setting can have some affect, so I'm interested to see your settings. For example: If you have beams in your template, the AI will chose impact blaster over long range beams when RAW POWER is the "Research Design Overall Focus". I'm thinking Darkspire might be correct in some way. Templates work perfect for me lately.
That's twice today that someone said I am right about something, at this rate I may even start to think my brain cell has got company [:D]
Yes the policy files are linked, from what I can brainwork it is something along the lines of;
Alter the ingame policy settings for your race for your preferences of tech in the research section, save it in your themes policy folder.
Exit to main menu and change the theme to default then exit game.
Open your theme / policy folder and open the policy file and go down to the research section.
Now open the templates folder and open all the designs for your race (I use TextPad as I can edit all the files at once, makes tracking changes easier) then edit the policy file research choices to the templates.
Load DW and change the theme to your custom one and start a new game and then see if they work.
I use a default word doc for planning them at present, way more complicated than it need be or was but other than writing them down by hand from the policy screen and saving then opening the templates I can not find a shorter or easier way of doing it. I do not even use auto design in my games, that is what really grinds my gears, the old way was for manual design in Legends, in Shadows that has been shifted to auto, I personally would prefer the choice of either manual created designs or template auto designs in a custom theme.
