These new settings are matched to the AI settings for the imported players. Selective search is deeper in CM9k. The range of each of the matching settings are identical. The custom opponents from CM8k should play with the same style in CM9k. One of the reasons for creating a custom player is to play against a different style. I have a lot of custom players in CM8k and wanted to be able to bring them into CM9k more easily. I made this mostly for my own need, but thought it would be nice if someone else wanted to use it. Feel free to not want to use it though... -matt
