2. select clear this will give you race picks (important)
3. got to abilities and hit "reset".
4. some abilites Stardock given will be left. (logistics 4 or 6, 25 Soldiering ect.)
5. goto each ability and check a box and uncheck a box logistics +4 check logistics 0 uncheck
6. for soldiering use the -25 +4 points checkbox to clear it. (any other random ability requires you to check, uncheck, any box but soldiering is a special case.)
7.Tada you now have a completely blank race template to creat your own race from scratch without any of the Stardock given bonuses.

If you get any lockups with my Mod or (anyone elses mod for that matter.)

If any mod you have crashes on spacecombat.

(CTD when attacking due to incorrect english.str)

goto C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Mods\INVADER-Mod\Data
and delete your english.str file.

There are many mods that modify the strings directly so if you are having any other problems with ANY other mods this is the first thing to look for.
