The next question then is there a minimum number of empires that can be active at the start of a game? I'm needing 4 if I can set it up that way.

Good Hunting.

You can play with 0 empires if you want, but where is the fun in that [:D]

[Yes, you need to replace an existing race when you add a new one.

FINALLY!!! OK. To do that involves ....what? You have to change a number of things I imagine.
Are these things you need to change text file based?

How do you replace an existing race, .... in detail. [8|] without giving[:-] anything away[8|][:D].....

Changing a race is explained in the customization guide, its a text file to change all the aliens stats.

It seem like DW is kinda weak in modding terms when it comes to actual gameplay elements.The races seem to be the only things you can actually mod.

[8|]

Built-in Game Editor: fine-tune your own galaxy, adding or removing star systems, planets, asteroid fields, ships, star bases, space monsters or anything else. Modify the attributes of any empire in your game

Built-in Customization: modify all ship art, alien races, and much more. Switch between different customization sets with a couple of mouse clicks from the main game menu

I am talking about actual gameplay settings like being able to mod the trade goods,ship sizes,starting empire numbers,troops,tech,planet sizes,etc.This is what you need for full conversions like in SpaceEmpires.

Yes, to do conversions the game editor would have to be pretty detailed. I hope it's fully designer controlled. I've been designing my own stuff since the 70's and this game would be no exception.
