Prevent player from changing race

[Erkki2]

Hello! Is there a way to prevent players from changing race in game creation, without limiting players' ability to change teams or colour? I have some custom races on my map, so the race selection is done through a dialog in game. It wouldn't really matter which race the player originally has, but my AI doesn't work if the race is night elf, and I therefore I want to prevent players from selecting night elf.

About the AI issue (irrelevant, but in case someone is curious): I have 4 custom races and a custom AI for each. If the player has any other race than night elf, I can replace starting units with custom ones of any race and start the corresponding AI and everything works. If the player is night elf, the workers will start to gather wood and will never build.

Do you have enough resources?

Yes I do.

EDIT: It seems I remembered the issue incorrectly. What really happens, is that if the player is not night elf, the AI harvests wood and builds, but doesn't gather gold. If the player is night elf, the AI only gathers gold and builds, but doesn't harvest lumber. So it seems there's something wrong with the AI. Anyway, I find it strange that race affects AI behaviour.

EDIT2: I somehow managed to get it to work by changing harvest priorities. I'm sure I already did that earlier, weird...

It's in player properties on the main tool bar. You can set races there so that they cannot be changed.

Unless I check "fixed player settings", race can still be changed. And I can't check that without also checking "use custom forces".
