Simultaneous Game Question

[Cyclone]

First, thanks for all the good info on this board. It's made the game much more enjoyable for a new guy starting to play!
I loaded the latest patch (1.91) and installed the TDM mod-pack but I'm not running any other mods.

I had a couple questions about setting up a simultaneous game...

1) I noticed on the empire selection screen there are now a bunch of empire variations after loading TDM. For example, United Flora 2000, United Flora 3000, etc. Obviously those empires use that many points. If a 3000 point game is created and I have the AI opponents included randomly, is the game smart enough to load the "correct" point value empire? For example, I wouldn't want all the AI races to only use 2000 points in a 3k/5k points game.

2) Also, our group generally turns intelligent projects off. Is it possible to edit say the United Flora 3000 race and redistribute the points they have in intelligence and then resave it as "United Flora 3k No Intel" and everything still work? On that same note, is there anyway to actually add that empire into a simultaneous game instead of letting the game randomly select?

Thanks for the help!!
