Just use any start location. When the game starts, check the race of all players. If a player has the new race, replace all their starting units with the new race's units.

How are you assigning races? Do players get to choose via a dialog or something?

i created the race separately (what i mean is i didnt replace any existing buildings ) so unless im not completely getting what you said that shouldnt work ...and as for assigning via dialog is what i want but i dont know how to do this so any help in that area would be appreciated
