Hello! I play with a group cooperatively against the AI. We often start games with a "placeholder" AI or two, if everyone is not ready to start on time. This allows them to then hotjoin later and take over an AI.

However, the game does not seem to allow any way for the player to choose which AI he or she takes over. This is particularly a problem when we have set up the specific factions that people want to play, yet the game puts the player into a different AI's slot.

We have tried to sidestep this issue by saving the game and then creating a new lobby to load the savegame, but we run into a bug where players loading into that lobby to resume the game are put randomly into someone else's player slot and the "Swap with Player" button does not work for anyone who is not the host. I have posted about this bug separately. 

Simply allowing people to choose which AI they replace when they load in would address this issue. Thank you!
