+1 This is really needed!

Yep, this would be nice for single player... As a "bonus" make single player separate from multiplayer. Of course, that doesn't really work with "create game" always defaulting to creating a single player game, then you have to switch to multi...

I also would love this sort of feature.

really needed.

I would need to agree, would be a helpful feature.

Yes please!

I'm really OCD about the colors for specific enemy races and I don't like to keep re-inputting those settings. +1 for idea.

Yes, quick restarting a game using previous settings would be nice...

+1 This should be a no brainer

Personally, I hate having a game with two or more versions of the same faction. If I select a game with 8 AI opponents, I should get one of each faction, not three versions of one faction and two factions left out. In either case, the speed and difficulty options should be "sticky" just like the galaxy settings.

I especially want this!

I'm tired of having 2 or more same factions in 1 game...I want each one of them.

Maybe anyone has an idea how to get devs attention to this thread?

If not in add-ons at least in expansion we would get this most useful feature.

Got one idea myself.)

Signature!

It worked for "sowers case" at least, hope it ll help us too.

love it

I've added ny 0.02 cents before, but I'll do it again. YES!!!!!!!!!!!

Very helpful feature. +1

I hate that I have to resurrect this old thread, but the issue in question still has not been dealt with. Any chance you guys might still fix this problem?

I think that it would be very helpful if the game would save all of the players' settings in the new game creation screen, the way it already does with the galaxy parameter settings. Specifically, the game speed and difficulty are always reset to default, and the AI selections are always reset to random. When I start a new game, I generally like to "reroll" my galaxy until I get a starting system with at least one other decent readily colonizable planet, and it becomes something of a pain to have to constantly reset every value to what I like. Since I generally like to play on the largest galaxies with the maximum number of opponents, resetting all of the AIs each time is annoying.

In either case, the speed and difficulty options should be "sticky" just like the galaxy settings.



A third possibility, and my personal favorite, would be to add an option to automatically regenerate a new galaxy based on the last parameters that were selected. This can be done either from the main menu or from within a just started game, or both. Most 4X games can do this, including GalCiv2 and Civilization. In GalCiv2, for example, all you have to do is press control-n during the first turn and a new galaxy using the current settings is immediately generated. Civ IV has a similar option to rebuild the map, again from the first turn only.



You could also offer a "quick start" option from the main menu that generates a new game based on the player's last game settings. I generally don't vary my settings much and this would be quite convenient.

Still no movement on this. Rolling a new game is still so tedious I rarely want to play.

+1. I like this idea.
