lv 20 civilizations or non rare or legendary gear civilzations for offline skirmish

offline skirmish is the fastest way to play some matches againts ai plus you can play as any civ but you are forced to play with a lv 40 civ with those golden/legendary gear and honestly i wish there was a way to disable it or play with a lv 20 civilization with standard gear instead in wich units reflect their portraits.now i can play against ai logged in but that presents two problems problem number one is that i cant play as any civ and problem number two is that i am gonna have to sit through 4 loading screens:first load the menu then load the capital city then load island of cyprus then the final loading screen,all in all its pretty cumbersome and sure aoeo celeste doesnt take forever to load but still it would be nice if we got at least the option to play without the golden/legendarygear in some form or another in offline mode.

 

alternatively i found another way:when play skirmish you can choose other then you can scroll al the way until you find your desired civ.old exaple :norselv40.old,units get low level gear instead wich makes them look closer to their portraits and no golden gear this time, iam considering eidting whatever game files is responsible for this and swapping the level 40 civ with golden gear with this .old one this way i no longer will have to choose other then scrolling all the way until i find these "old" level 40 civs.
