The reason for this is game limitations. If you have only 10 races and you choose a setting of many races then the game will use one or two races twice or even three times. By adding ten minor races to the Race folder I could eliminate this.

But why should you keep the race number selection in settings.txt ? Make it smaller. 1-3 for small, 4-5 for medium and 6-8 for high ! Just an example, of course.
