Random Race

I'd like to see 'Random' in the Race selection menu, should be an easy addition.. I don't like to know who my computer-foes are, amongst being able to randomly select my own race when I don't know whom to choose.

I agree totally, that would be a great feature.

Gotta love those easy to implement features. (-8

Yes this would be a good feature.

Uhmm...it's not that easy to implement :-p

Pretty much anything which requires new data to be going across the network is kinda annoying to implement, and this is no exception

Surely the choice of random race could be chosen client-side, then communicated to the server in the same way as if the player had selected it?

If you create a game, and I join it, and I select 'Random Race', one would expect it to show you that I had chosen 'Random Race', not that it came out as 'Rebels'. Well that's what I think, anyhow.

This is a point.

Well, you could have "random races" be an option in the multiplayer game setup server. Either everyone gets random races or no-one....

Should this feature ever be implemented, here's the image that I showed in chat.

An in-game example:
