By this I mean if for example hissho is randomly selected, no other "random" AI's can be the hissho empire.



Last game I played 4 of the 7 random AI's were pilgrims. It doesn't make a lot of sense lore wise and it leads to some confusion when dealing with 3-4 different factions of the same race, one your at war with a couple in cold war and one allied.



There are 11 different factions (currently) so there's no reason not to have a greater variety of opponents in a game. It makes for a more interesting a varied experience, and is a pretty simple request
