you are welcome. GOG should make the anti boycott creature file available with download.
Of course they should really also offer version 1.51, as it is the best version (in my opinion) and does not have the creature issue.
(and I have never found 1.51 without DRM, so I am forced to use my CD)

If you are just doing the campaign for now, don't worry about the AI. You wont notice much difference during the campaign.
Difference mainly 1.7 AI will drop 1 creature at a threat.
1.3/5 AI will drop almost all. If you are ready for that, you can usually just wipe them all out while stunned.
Both will set their flags to attack in really dumb ways.

Play either AI long enough and you will start to impose arbitrary limits on yourself to create your own challenges.
