I want a game with a War in Heaven, but I don't want late game lag so I'm going for a medium sized galaxy which has a maximum of 3 FEs. So far I've started up like 10 games and used the 'intel' console command to scout the map for FE's with opposing ethics, and in all instances the Ancient Caretaker spawns and takes away a potential spot for a real FE.

My last galaxy (600 star eliptical, 2 FE) had a xenophobe and a spiritualist.

It might be bad luck that you keep getting an ancient caretaker.

To my knowledge, none of the fallen empires are guaranteed to spawn.
What I'd like to know Is if it possible to force a given FE (or combinations thereof) to spawn at empire generation.
