Possible to add existing races in "New Game"?

[Profanicus]

Hi, I am firing SEV up now that it seems sufficiently patched, and was just wondering:
is it possible to add an existing race when creating a new game, rather than have to define a new race each time?
I want to add one of the races that are offered in the Quickstart race selection.
Thanks!

Somebody has probably done this already, but with the new patch, it will be out of date.

1) Start a new game with lots of random empires
2) Set them to human control.
3) Save Empire on each to get EMPs.
4) New Game -> Edit the EMP to unselect the colonization tech so they fit under the game setup limit for starting techs.

5) Zip the package up and upload it here
6) Gain Fame and Fortune.

Ok thanks for the info, not as easy/intuitive as I'd hoped but hey if that's the only way...
I gave it a go, and keeping your point 6) in mind have shared the fruits of my labours! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
