Stated by OlegAs most people already know, there is a bug/feature which cause problems with random race picking: SEIV does not allow a race to have several advanced traits with combined points exceeding the race set-up limit, even if you make up deficit buy reducing race traits.

Stated by CapnqI'm not certain this is an accurate description of the "bug". It was stated in another thread that the random empires are chosen from the .emp folder; it appears the race settings from AI_General files aren't used there. It isn't clear to me where the race options are used; the Quick Start page looks at the AI_General files, but Quick Start is always a 2000 point game. Race Options 2 and 3 are never called by the software, AFAICT.
Actually I believe Oleg stated the bug pretty well, but I believe it's bug that was fixed in 1.41. Is it back? I haven't played with ai's in a while.
Random placed empires
do not use the .emp files. I know that for a fact. Regardless of whether it's a standard or quick start game. They do use the ai_general files. The only use of .emp files is if you specifically place them in the players screen at game startup.
