Multiplayer preset maps problems

There is a problem with these type of maps:
All players' races exept first one can't be changed at all.

In single player in aof they will be set for ai as humans only so you can't test them with other races (even if you set others as humans).

In multiplayer if you choose them as ai you can't choose race for them and they are kept as no-race and thus do nothing.

@Stratego (dev).

I believe this also will be a problem for other games with more than 1 race/nation.

Problems here are:
1. Try to play on those maps in SINGLE PLAYER. With ai or with another player (hotseat game). You are not able to set for ai/other human players any other race.

2. Another problem is if you want to play on for example "Elemental Conflux" map for 4 players with only 2 actual players and 2 ai. You are not able to set race for Ai players in this case and they always are raceless.

i see in code that in multiplayer games the "raceless" AI players get a random race - have u tested it and engine have not selected any race for the AI automatically?

I did not by myself but players in chat reported that ai was still kept as raceless.
