Not important if just one or two races should be observed, ok, maybe I have missed your point about your observation idea. I considered more to compare the performance of e.g. 20 races at the same time...

Every race could be set to human player, fully AI control, but then you would have to stress your mouse finger. Another workaround could be to set the player control to the race which is obviously the strongest and adjust this setting every 100 turns or so.

If you're observing multiple races in one game, losing the human player's race will cut off further observation of the survivors.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
