From the F9 tab? Cause I want to be able to at least semi-decide their start like I would myself instead of having them randomly generated to be literally lightyears ahead in tech.
The Empire creation seems to either be totally random NPR vs created empire I can decide start on, like I do for myself.
I havn't found a way to turn created empires into NPR empires... Like a same level-ish start with multiple human civs on earth to duke it out between themselves or something.
