I don't know if something has been released on this already, or if it is a previously discussed topic... but my friends and I have always found it frustrating when playing multiplayer games in a LAN, and we choose random civilisations.
Whilst it seems fairest and most thrilling to randomise the allocation of civilisations to the players, there are often cases where the allocation is completely unfair (e.g. here is a rather extreme scenario: a 4v4 Post-Imperial Death Match, with one team getting Mongols, Turks, Saracens and Persians vs another team which gets Aztecs, Vikings, Vikings and Vikings in an Arabia map).
What we've always thought would be cool would be if you could select a subset of civilisations which the computer chooses its random selections from.
e.g. random civilisations, from only Mongols, Huns, Goths, Persians, Saracens and Turks. Or alternatively, if you were playing a water-based map such as islands, you might want to make the subset of civs those which are good on water (e.g. Koreans, Saracens, Vikings, Spanish and Turks) as it is unfair when one unlucky person gets allocated Aztecs for example.
Do you know if something like this is already available?
Cheers
