Is it possible.....

could it be possible to not only change the races, but actually add new ones? like when you select the map and are ready to choos race there would be more than just 4. can it be done? if so how?

theres only 1 way i know to, at the beggning of the game, a dialog box should come up and ask u which race u want to be, and that way u can have different races, thats about it

You can alter the races that it displays, and you can make more slots, but the slots won't function properly, and the race names won't show up until you've played the map once already. Also, they'll affect the next map, no matter which one it is, which is bad.

However, if you're making a campaign, I've been told that it works fine. To change the race names, look under Advanced>Game Interface....

Just to clarify, the custom racial settings will only show up if the map is the second map played or later. Not that it makes any practical difference.

ok thanks guys :D
