Custom Races - Beta 2

from GalCiv2 Forums
In Beta 2, when you have a Custom Race as an opponent, and use all 15 of their customization points, the game gives a error about how one race has too many points spent and the game won't count as a metaverse game.

Not sure if the same thing happens when you are the custom race.

Perhaps this is due to the change in Dread Lords to prevent people from exploiting to get extra points?

Not sure how to edit posts, sorry.

I forgot to mention, if you just have the custom race use 10 points instead of the 15 they now get, there's no error.

I don't think Dark Avatar games are being allowed on Metaverse while it's still under beta.

Also, if you're the originator of a thread, it appears that you can't edit that initial post.

Dark Avatar doesn't support Metaverse at this time.

Uh, yeah. That's not what I'm talking about. Sorry for being so vague, I'll see if I can explain this better.

Remember earlier in Dread Lords, when players were able to get negative customization points?

Is it possible that custom races, now getting 15 customization points to spend, conflicts with the fix to prevent players from getting negative customization points?

Please, look at these.

This picture shows custom races having 15 customization points.

This picture is using all 15 of those.

This is the error using all 15 points gets, when I try to start the game.

If I only use 10 of the 15 points, I do not get this error message.
