I'm wondering if it is possible to add a race via the raceconfig.xml file rather than using the custom race creating feature. I'm trying to make a Dark Altarians race with similar bonuses to the Altarians, but the problem with using the custom race creation is that it won't be possible to get certain bonuses as high. For example I want them to have +20 econ +15 moral +25 research and +something to espionage, with the super warrior ability. I want those things to be set and I want it to have 9 point for the computer to choose for itself. I've tried just adding them to the raceconfig.xml file but it dosn't seem to work. Do I have to replace an existing race? Will it work if I use the in game custom creation feature to spend points so that they have 9 points left and then just edit the \My Documents\My Games\...\Dark Altarianscustomxml file?I don't think that would work because for example lets say (just for the sake of argument the numbers might not ne quite right) I put 5 points in research, leaving 10 points for the computer to spend, well I want them to have a bonus in research and if I spend points there it won't be able to but more points in it (the Altarians can get +45 research) I don't know if I'm being very clear or if I'm totally misunderstanding the whole concept, I just want to add a race like I described above. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
