I think what he's describing is the same thing I did: make a game called "All Races EA" or something, add every nation as human-controlled (the easiest way to do this is to hit the button for a new random nation repeatedly until it stops giving you the option; since no nation can repeat, once you have 17 races or whatever you must have all of them; then hit shift-H to set them all to human-controlled), give them some random pretender (just accept the default), and start the game. When you want to examine e.g. Arcoscephale, start up that game and pick Arcoscephale as the nation you want to play. Examine your units and then End Turn when you're done.
