Beta 4B: No minors even when they're enabled?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm on my second game now in beta 4B with a Large galaxy and occassional planets/habitable and I'm sure minor civs are enabled (i.e. the "Disable Minor Races" is NOT checked) but there's no minors anywhere to be found. Anyone else experiencing this?

I see minors in 4b. Frequency is random. Sometimes you get a lot, sometimes only 1 or 2.

Check your debug.err log - at times the minors may be there, but you never know it as they never make contact with you if they are in a part of the map that you have not explored and one of the aI destroys them.

My current game the Jessians are somewhere out there - I can bribe the aI to go to war with them, but I have not met them yet, so I can't see them in the trade/diplomacy screens.

Is there any point in late coming minors by the way?

They have this big "kick me sign" all over them: it takes them ages to build any defence

My current 4B huge galaxy has at least one minor race in it. They've made contact with me, so I can talk/trade with them, but I haven't spotted them on the map yet to relieve them of their nice planet.
