I usually select custom race from the race selection menu in the game, don't do anything just save the race, then quit, open the galciv2 folder in my docs, open the saved custom race file with notepad and then your free to screw with it however I want.

It is kinda of annoying to see your custom races description as: Write a description for me!, or whatever it says.

You can edit the descriptions in the raceconfig files (either the core one, or the customized ones found in My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2).

What is the point to go this far if noone will ever read that description?


Noone would ever see what customized ships look like either without screenshots.

Right now I'm just trying to play the game and when I build ships I don't even care where the different components get placed. I want to customize the looks but just not yet.
