Computer Custom Race

Is this a change in 1.2beta

May 27, 2006 8:42 AM from

I started a game today as the thalans and about 40 turns in, I made contact with the custom
race I designed. I had just downloaded 1.2beta and was wondering if this was a change or if it was
there all along.

We believe it to be a 'bug'

I can think of worse bugs than being able to create custom AI civs...

Yes, I wish I had THAT bug. That would be sweet if you could fight your own AI. Well, hey, if a bug could do it why couldn't the developers do it?

I agree! I'd love to be able to play against some of my own custom races! Don't fix that bug! In fact, can we find a way to expand on it? So we can load our custom races into the game and play against them? Imagine the universes that could be created! Definately work on this in the future!

Just change the text in raceconfig.xml and get it to point to a different image than the wireframe dude.

Its easy to use as i like the wireframe and changed one of the minors into it before.

If you could fight your own race and be beaten by it, that would be VERY ironic.

Frogboy has mentioned before that this concept might be in an expansion.
