Can't get more than 5 neutral races

I hate to bump an old thread, but I'm having this same problem. Will it ever be fixed? I've set the maximum neutrals and such, and disabled 'empires' but I still only get 5 neutrals no matter what I do, so it's not hitting the upper limit of players or anything like that.

No idea if it will ever be fixed. I doubt it is that high of a priority, and with there only being one final patch (hopefully), it might not get fixed.

Email se4@malfador.com requesting that it be fixed. The more people that want it, the bigger of a priority it may become.

I haven't been playing this game *because* of that bug. =/

The game still has a lot to offer in spite of that bug.

I know that.

But I've been wanting to play a game with lots of neutrals, and Last I heard was a year ago when folks said that this would be fixed in the next patch. :>

I still poke my mega uber game every so often, play a few turns on that and check on my.. uh.. ~25 ringworlds. But with nothing left to research it's kind of dull.

Granted I'm still learning PvK's Proportions mod, but based on what I know so far if you manage to subjugate a neutral early on, you'd have a huge advantage. The solution would be to have more neutrals so everybody has a chance to grab one or two. So, yeah, I hope this bug gets fixed in any final patch. It may not be priority, but it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to fix.

My two cents.

Not a bug, but a problem that has not yet been addressed.
