"Choosing" Races to Play Instead of Randomly Selected by Game |
In SE IV in game setup you could click on the "Add Existing" button which allowed you to "select for yourself" which computer races you want to play against.
I'm afraid I don't see that button in SE V. It appears that there is no way for me to select which races I want to play against, and I am forced to let the setup engine randomly pick them.
Is there a way to select them now, that I don't see?
If not, then is it planned to add this feature later?
Make your own...
No pre-saved empire files exist by default. Eventually someone will make some though - but you can do it for yourself if you'd like. Start a game with a high number of opponents on your preferred settings. Then in the options menu, switch all the AI players to human - their passwords will be master. Then save each AI empire and there you go.

Choosing
The "premade" empires aren't available for selection.
And, IIRC, rather htan loading empire files to make them, the AI actually runs through a list of settings to make them, kinda like we do only automated and without the UI.

Those that understand binary, and those that don't.
If you want to select them
If you want to select them then go to quick game (or what ever) and save the empire. then go to narmal game and change them to cpu controlled and resave them.
Alternate way
Go to Settings.txt and fiddle around with "number of computer players to actually generate when you say 'High'" and which of the pre-made empires it can pick. Long winded, but this way you're guaranteed to face the empires you want.
Premade races
there are premade races they are the 16 or so which you can chose form in the quick start game
Just to note, adding races
-EDIT Sorry ignore my post, literally this second i've just seen this information has been updated and corrected.
If you want custom AI and speech with races added through the ingame creation check out this thread:

You can add computer
You can add computer controlled empires the same way you can as in SEIV. The only difference in SEV is that there aren't any pre-made races to choose from. You have to make your own and designate then as computer controlled. When you're making a game click the add existing empire button and then make the computer controlled race. Be sure to save them so you don't have to remake them for every game you make.
