First time playing, need a little assistance please

Start a quick start game with every race and save the empire on the first turn, need only to do it with the races you like really. Then start a standard game and import them into it. To view there abilities use the edit empire option in the game set up standard game set up process.

If any one is interested I would be happy to save the relevant .emp files and have they put some where people can get to them.

Have all the basic .emp files saved and am going to try to upload them here as a zip folder which you should be able to unzip into the empires folder and use. They are set up for a quick start game so if you want to change that you will need to edit them in the set up

Hope that helps will post a new thread when I have done the up loading

Do you mind if i use your emps along my mod? It should make starting games a lot quicker...

If your mod adds new racial traits, that won't work. Stock .emps only work for mods that don't modify the empire creation options (racial traits, governments, planet types, etc).

Will work if I create a set using the interrelated mod and that wont take any more work than creating the stock set

When you created your empire you put a password in the file. Next empire you make don't fill in the password slot.

sounds like you accidentally turned on the multiplayer

no problem, the password is master

see if that works, get back to me

Anyone who wants power; by definition, cannot be trusted with it...
