How to get own created nations occure in a game?

[wolf1455]

I made 6 nations that would be a nice opfor and locked them to always be included. And in my setup I just selected 7 oponents. Well, the last 2 games non of my own created nations have been encountered. At least not the 3 to 4 first anyway. What am I doing wrong?

isn't it a option click option on the nation with options like

1. will not show up in game
2. can show up in game
3. always show up in game.

click the option again

yup thats what my remark "locked them to always be included" meant.

Well well. I have to coop with what is then. Strange anyway to see quill do it but .........................

If I remember rightly quill18 didnt create new races, just adjusting the present ones.

do they have random system or do they have Sol system as starting location? My try putting them all on random

 

[wolf1455]

They all had random trinary, random binary etc

I am also having a problem with this; I had suspicions things were not working right so I created 14 races, locked them all to be in the game, started a new game with 14 AI opponents and the first 3 races I met were random races that hated me.
I fear the new system to start you next to people who hate you is overriding the created opponents.

Metoo. I'm making a custom empire or a few for each of the portraits in the game. I have created ~40 now. Started a 30 empire game and the fifth empire I meet is not one I have created nor is it one of the premade empires. I don't think they are former primitives either as they are similar size to the other empires I've met and only 20-30 years has passed. Very annoying if you can't actually force your own empires to appear. Guess I have to start a new game and use the observer to check if all the starting empires are actually mine or not.

Currently these are counted as unique so only one empire in the game can have Randon trinary/binary starting systems. You need to use the "Random" option so the other empires can spawn.

@rubert: Hmm ok. I used one of each typ. So one should popup in my opinion. But I havent coded for the last 20 years, so what do I know.

I'm doing the same thing as op. They really have to change that so that they are not unique. Only Sol and Deneb should be.
