Question on SE5

They generate when you start the game.

that's where the problem is - the file doesn't seem to generate - it tells me to pick a human empire but there is no empires to pick from !

As a player you make your own empire file.

so for someone dense like me ,it's not like SE4 where you call up empires and pick one for human use - in SE5 you actually have to make a empire for your use and the AI will fill in for game use

For your first game, yes. After that you can save your empire file and use that.

I think there are various good reasons why Aaron did it this way. Most of which appear to be for the benefit of modders. Well, this is my current opinion since my experience is pretty much limited to modding and testing my own mod at this point.

Don�t feel dense, or if your going to don�t feel alone! You can have a seat here with me, and SJ can share the stories of my density�

The only difference between the two games is that SE5 did not come with stock empire files. In SE4, it was usually a much better idea to make your own empire file, rather than use one of the stock ones.
