I think a lot of people would really like to only see one instance of a faction at a time on your map. I certainly would.







PS: I posted something about this the other day but got a message one of my posts was hit by friendly fire in the anti-spam war.

Yes please! It spoils the immersion to have all this rich lore for the factions, but then have inexplicably more than one of them. I suppose you could explain say, two different Roving Clans as just sub-factions of a race, but multiple Cultists just seems wrong...

Some players like to be surprised by who they are fighting but would like to avoid duplicate factions in the same game (especially to avoid fighting their own faction).

It's a nice feature to have, but I feel there are more pressing features that have been requested for a long time (for example proper control over information overlays, or team options/allied victory).

Yup, that's what I do now. Actually, I've gone beyond that, I also tend to associate factions with particular colours - Drakken are purple, Necrophages are the sickly lime green, etc... smiley: smile



But I agree with The-Cat that it's not very high priority. Perhaps if it can be done easily?

No.



Never.



Amplitude was asked to do it since Endless Space Beta. And they don't do it. It's a conspiracy, I tell you. I've got evidence but they'll get to me if I talk.

I just registered to request this feature, glad to see I am not the only one asking for it.



Please consider adding this Amplitude! A small change that would do a lot!

Hello there,

This feature has already been asked in the past. Here is what happening when you select a random faction. For instance, the random faction will be the Broken Lords. At the moment, you will have a really lower chance to get the BL faction again in the game. We do understand your interest in this feature but we can't work on it at the moment (we have priorities with the expansion) and I'm not even sure if we will work on it in the future. Unfortunately, I suggest you to choose manually the factions in this case.

Dun-dun-DUNNN.



From a development point of view I can see that this button can be problematic when there are more player slots than available races - but I think it was only a problem in betas. And also in multiplayer.



On the balancing sides when there're so few yet diverse races your strategy depends on your enemies. If you definitely know there are no other contenders with your race it may affect your strategy (basically if you're Drakken you know no one else will go for diplomacy victory).

Oh… I'm so sorry to read this…

From a development point of view, it looks so incredibly basic and easy to implement.



As other players have already stated, I really hate it when I discover that there are 2 (or even 3) instances of the same faction in game! It so much ruins the immersion...



Now that the Guardians package is released, can we please have this option implemented? (please please please smiley: smile)



Cheers

Hey! Even if I can´t see how this would take any significant amount of time to implement, thank you for answering at least! Most appreciated.

As for my (limited) experience, the chance to get multiple factions of the same type is not exactly low, on the contrary it seems quite high, especially on larger maps.

In any case, I am doing as you suggest now and always choose factions manually, even if it removes some of the fun.
