Species/Faction Predispositions

from GalCiv3 Forums

Not sure where to place this but is there a way to mod dispositions for or against factions or species? Say I want to make a faction of synthetics not only hate organics but recognize other synthetics as "kindred" beings.

Another example, say Humans have a natural dislike for the Drengin but a fondness for Altarians. I know there is a system in place that compares ideologies but can this be modded to recognize the species/faction itself?

If this isn't possible, I would like to submit this as a suggestion for the devs to look into. I think this would add an incredible level of immersion and make the game universe more interesting.

Good point. 

I'd like to add another 'predisposition', as my ever requested issue is, that all those GC3 races origin from paradise earth-like planets. 

 

I'm currently building a mod based upon C.J.Cherryh's Alliance-Union universe and to catch all of them would need to base them on methane or other heavy extreme planets instead. Can't imagine how to make them living on earth planets without dramatical changes. Only availible option is to build them as synthetics right now or to open them level 1 extreme planets, but that's not really fitting. 

 

Needed would be: 

 

- modding in other then the current availible starting planets...say level 2 or 3 extreme planets as starting

- cutting down usability of usual planets...even to zero to allow total different faction designs

You know I am surprised none of the stock factions have "extreme" planets as their homeworld. I am assuming this is an oversight by the devs. I mean why would all alien life thrive only in an earth-like environment? I hope this too is something that can be corrected by mods or patched in.

I really do guess the devs have cutted out extreme-world start for later DLC.    ;P  

Don't think this is the best solution as I rate this aspect to be of basic interest.

I would like to see modifiers for earth-like, jungle, mountainous, etc. and each faction has a preferred type. A bonus on their type and penalties for other types. A planet of the undead...... <_<

A Reaver planet like from the Firefly series... now that is would be interesting.
