Question on SE5

[mrscrogg]

I've updated game to 1.17 and added Balance Mod . If I do quick game all the different empires are listed for me to pick from . If I do a new game were I get to pick everything { maps, empires, characteristics , so forth } I can't pull down list for empires to pick from , what am I doing wrong ? No list shows - is there a key I'm missing to activate list ?

The game unfortunately comes with no prebuilt empire files. It's fairly easy to create one, though - just start a quickstart game with the same tech and race points you intend to play with, then save your empire file from in the game! (Or build your own custom empires, like I do! )

for the AI empires just make sure that random AI empires (or whatever it's called) is on.

[mrscrogg]

where do I find the key for the " random empires " ?

[Phoenix-D]

Go to the empires page and scroll the middle box down.

[mrscrogg]

I went to " empires " page scrolled down hit every key and no empire files came up

[Hugh Manatee]

They generate when you start the game.

[mrscrogg]

that's where the problem is - the file doesn't seem to generate - it tells me to pick a human empire but there is no empires to pick from !

As a player you make your own empire file.
