I play with a lot of "new civ" mods (particularly those created by JFD and sukritact)
I find myself fussing a lot over what civilizations to put in a game, and I wanted to know if there's a description anywhere of how the randomizer makes selections? Is it purely random choice or does it try to make sure there are a few civs from each culture (based on architectural category)... or something more complex?
A follow up question is whether there are any mods out there that overrides the random selector with various parameters. For example, it would be great if you could tell it to favor out-of-the-box civilizations, with only a handful of custom civs. Or if it doesn't balance by cultural category as above, something to improve that-- or to avoid odd combinations such as having the USSR and Kievan Rus in the same game.
Too much to wish for without learning to mod and making it myself?
