Reverse Position mod

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've been wondering, what would it be like to be a minor race? Now, you can know. I am making a mod that will reverse the minor and major races. I've currently only done one race, the Carinoids are switched with the Altarians. I'm gonna switch the Snathi with the Drengin. What races should be switched with which?

Oh, and if you know where the text when you cantact people (IE, Terrans contacting Altarains. I don't want the Paulos or whoever to suddenly be considered cousins by the Carinoids.

I'm thinking I will keep taking minor races until I fill up all the races. Currently I have added in the Carinoids, the Akilians, and the Scottlingas. I know I will be adding the Paulos, Snathi, and the Dark Yor. I think they will be replace Terrans, Drengin, and Yor respectively. I think the only problem will be the icons being the same for some races. If you want to make some icons for some of the races that are repetitive in all but color, they would be appreciated.

Yeah, I already added them.
I actually stopped working on this for a bit. But I think that there are only 7 unique minor races (the Paulos and the Jessuians are similar in look, so I'm only including one of them), so whatever major races are left when I'm done with adding the minors will be in. Probably the Iconians will still be there, but I don't know.

Yeah, but I'm trying to stick to just the minor and major races already in the game.
