Creating a game with several nations on Earth help required

[idefelipe (OP)]

Hello.

I have to admit that I am very jealous with the amazing AAR posted with several nations in Earth trying to get advantage between them to reach the stars... but I don't know how to set up this, and it seems a real mistery for me (and complex, I think).

Could you make me a small detailed tutorial about how to make a game with 3 nations controled by the player that live together in Earth?

Thanks in advance

Set up a game with one nation on Earth (normal start).
Turn on the SM (space master) mode by pressing the blue globe (the second button from the right)
Go to the system view (sun with orbiting planets button).
If SM mode is on you will now have additional options to the bottom right of the screen including "create race" button. Press that button while having a planet (Earth for example) selected and you will be able to create a new race. You can do that as many times as you wish for any body you wish.

Have fun.

it was not difficult after all... 

Thank you very much!!

In the special case of multiple nations on earth you can also simply set the number of player races at the game creation to the desired amount.

Let's say you want to start as a player race with other human (but NPR) races?

I can set them up as NPR, but not as conventional empires and NPR at the same time.
I can edit out their TN factories and give them conventionals, would that work?

NPR's are not programmed to handle a conventional start, so you can't create them that way. There is an option to make "naturally" spawned NPR's conventional, but they will never be able to go beyond that.

Can you start all three NPR Earth races as conventional but SM trans newtonian for each one? A hybrid start?

IF you can't do the above, what about normal start for NPR but SM them down to the equivalent of a hybrid start?

1.  Sure, but now you're playing all three races (with or without SM).  You can't convert an empire from player control to AI, only the other way.

2.  Strating NPR strength is random along a scale proportional to the strongest player empire.  You can't generally see it.  You can "turn down" the strength of NPRs in various ways, but these are hard to balance, and since the NPR can be geneareted with 50% your strength or 300% your strength in the first place, setting them to "half" merely chagnes that to 25% to 150%.
