My plan:
My plan was to create a Horatio custom faction that focused heavily on influence through propagation. Part of this plan was to have one primary influence system that hinged on use of the Cultural Apogee center gained from the Horatio faction quest (Shown below)




The problem:

As shown in the below screenshot, the Cultural Apogee Center doesn't affect my starting faction. In the above screenshot you can see that it says it only works on the standard Horatio faction (from the symbol.) Are the faction quests intended to be worthless to custom factions?

I can also confirm, that the apogee center isn't working for the standard Horatio either. I'm currently playing with 1.03.
