Custom civs disappearing/unplayable

from GalCiv4 Forums

I am unable to start a game in Supernova with custom civs (or default civs) besides the base Terran civ.  What is also weird is when I edit a custom civ, and then save it as a copy of the original civ, the civ’s copy become playable upon a restart (but the original custom civ is still unplayable). 

What is also strange is that neither that custom civ or civ’s copy are available in the GC4 game anymore after saving the civ’s copy, only in Supernova.   While I don’t really care because I’ll be sticking with Supernova, I don’t know if this deletion of the custom civ was intended.

Hello,

I'm not aware of any problems so far with starting games with new civs.  Can you provide some more info on the error you are seeing?  

When you say "edit a custom civ" are you referring to using the new "Generate" button?

No, what I meant was my previous custom civs from GC4 were all "greyed out" and could not be used in Supernova.  However, if I edited those civs, resaved as a new civ, and then exited and restarted the game, that new version of the custom civ becomes playable.

Based on another forum post, I think it has to do with early access disallowing the previous civs to be used.  I guess in Supernova, new civs must be created (or re-created from old).

The major civs, like the Arceans and Drengin are temporarily disabled while we focus on the humans and the AI generation features.  Once that's all nailed down, the others will get unlocked.
