Hi, I have figured out how to play with all the main races WITHOUT useing a scenerio, simply choose them from the main screen
I released a MOD that allows you to play with the 12 major races, (the 10 main, plus custum, plus Dreadlords, all in one game) (it has two files, a scenario file and a screen file) You can find it

Now I have figured out how to simply select 10 races from the normal start screen without a scenerio. Plus, it shows you the 10 races in the selection screen and doesnt have the blue ? over the race pics (it actually says 10 opponnents)
I am currently trying add a entire new main race (without replaceing a existing one) but it requires redoing allot of the GUI screens. When SD said this game was moddable, they wernt kidding
Anyway, to be able to select 10 opponents instead of 9..
Open the screens.str file
Find:
[NumOfOpponents0] One (1)
[NumOfOpponents1] Two (2)
[NumOfOpponents2] Three (3)
[NumOfOpponents3] Four (4)
[NumOfOpponents4] Five (5)
[NumOfOpponents5] Six (6)
[NumOfOpponents6] Seven (7)
[NumOfOpponents7] Eight (8)
[NumOfOpponents8] Nine (9)
[NumOfOpponentsRand] Randomize
//[NumOfOpponents9] Ten (10)
and replace it with:
[NumOfOpponents0] One (1)
[NumOfOpponents1] Two (2)
[NumOfOpponents2] Three (3)
[NumOfOpponents3] Four (4)
[NumOfOpponents4] Five (5)
[NumOfOpponents5] Six (6)
[NumOfOpponents6] Seven (7)
[NumOfOpponents7] Eight (8)
[NumOfOpponents8] Nine (9)
[NumOfOpponents9] Ten (10)
[NumOfOpponentsRand] Randomize
Then download this file from my site:

and place it in your "GalCiv2\Mods\Screens" folder
Make sure you choose the Custum Race as your race.
