In a thread recently, I discussed not enjoying having certain empires in my (AI) games (e.g. cultists for the extra minor faction headache, or roving clans for the market ban). I was wondering if I could go beyond choosing other races in the lobby to simply not have certain empires be rolled by random.



To be clear, I would leave opponents race set to Random, yet (e.g.) Cultists would never be picked. Is this likely to be achievable? Thoughts?

IIRC, one of the files has the value the random selection string uses for selecting the race. This value is a kind of weight the string uses to build the group you'll face... now for the down side... I can't for the life of me remember where I saw those numbers. Though the files with faction in their name are a good place to start.

Thanks for the tip, I'll get hunting next time I'm feeling energetic
