Info on game settings such as "Rare", "Common" etc in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The manual is sorta skimpy on details on the game settings Habitable Planets, Number of Planets, etc. (Rare, Uncommon, Occasional, etc.) Is there anywhere I can find the actual numbers. For instance if I set Habitable Planets to "Rare", Number of Planets to "Uncommon" and Number of Stars to "Common", how many of each will I get?

Question about modifying races.... in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Okay, I've managed to modify a race and I am wondering why the values aren't showing up in game. I opened the RaceConfig file in notepad, then modified ability scores for a particular race. You know, like adding 50 to Luck, 10 to Trade Routes,etc. Trying to make a super-race.
