Custom Race Bug?

Hi,

I just started a game, and I came across an AI player using a custom race I had previously designed to play myself (and had not set it up to be an AI opponent). Even more curious, I had DELETED that race after playing it (because it sucked).

How can an AI player be using a non-AI enabled custom race that had previously been deleted? LOL

Were you playing with random races? If so, you probably hadn't actually deleted it as you thought.

Yes I was playing with random races.

When I quit and started a new game, I went to load my custom races, and only one custom race was on the list (the very last custom race I had just played in the last game) - the outdated custom race that the AI was just playing was NOT on the list anywhere.

I know it is easy when something weird and seemingly impossible happens to assume that whomever saw it just made a mistake, but I assure you in this case that race was not on the list. hehe

Also, I don't understand how the AI could be playing it when I had not selected which AI to use for it, etc?

If you mean the personality settings, there are default values for all those regardless of whether you ever use it as an opponent or not. Any race you've got in the game is available for the game to pick when you set random enemies.
