Please add toggle premade empires on/off button

[Mauer]

As far as I can tell from the game files, it's supposed to be random. But I wonder if there's some balance feature that's causing it: maybe the game throws in couple of premade Militarist empires if you're playing as Pacifist... So you won't have easy victory with federations.

I should probably add in some premade species of my own, just to make the default ones rarer. Since full randomness isn't an option.

Who knows, I play Materialists half of the time and still see the Chinoor, who are also Materialist fools, very very often.

I did once get a Blorg FE, that was funny.

For now, I'm gonna try making a bunch of empires just hitting the random button on every screen in the creator and see if it makes things better next time.

It's difficult to tell when the achievements are enabled.
I tried disabling the premade empires at one point, without making any other changes. And got no achievements from that game, even though I should've triggered a couple of new ones. Can't really test it, I've already got most of the common achievements.

I develped a theory. Archievements only check if "Ironman = Yes". That might actually be a flag in the savegame file.
I do know the savegames on teh cloud are protected against tampering. But you might still be able to see the tag in the gamefile.

This could be true, as I've modded the hell out of stellaris, but I still get achievements sometimes. But I basically always play in ironman mode...

Ah, damn. There is a tag if the Ironman Saving should apply. But not if Archievements should work. That check might actually happen before the Archeivements.txt is even processed.
