Suggestion for the map editor

from GalCiv2 Forums

I'm sure this was totally overlooked... but as it stands right now you can only set the map editor to ONE custom race.  I attempted to play a slightly adjusted version of the map dogfish has up for my human seperation game.  I foolishly assumed that if a race is set as an opponant but doesn't have a homeworld set on the map one would be assigned and so I set everything up, made 4 new human races to add to the map... set the full load of opponents and... couldn't play because the only two races with starting worlds were custom (for me) and the terrans.  Annoying to say the least!  If there's a way now to play a custom map with more then one custom race I'd love to hear it.  If not then can it please be changed so any race that doesn't have a planet set in the custom map gets one assigned like normal during the loading?

yes i like to raise the same issue too it seems that you can only have one custom race per map. Im sure you can modify the xml files but thats all i know

The race handling in the game itself isn't really designed for multiple custom races. So if you need to use them, you'll need to manually replace the base races with them, then just reference the base races in your map.
