Game Editor- Cannot Restore Defeated Empire

[Imperator]

If an empire disappears from the game you can't reintroduce them via the Game Editor? Is there a reason for this or is it just an oversight?

Don't know why you want to to this, but normally you can chose/build ANY faction you like with the editor - you'd just have to set their parameters like the ones of the faction you want to resurrect, but this takes a bit of additional efforts, of course.
Easiest workaround might be to load a save with the faction you want to build still alive, change to this faction and make screens of all the parameters you want this faction to have after you revived it - and then build this faction with the editor from scatch (and additionally you could alter the setings of your new faction by editing the races-XML in the data-directory).
