Sometimes, people want a really hard challenge. Sometimes, you have experienced 4x-veterans and new inexperienced players in your playgroup.


In these situations, some players try to design a weak custom faction. You can get rid of all traits and add some negative traits, but you cant get rid of your base faction affinity.


If we could create a custom faction without faction affinity, we could create really weak factions for challenge or for balancing a multiplayer game with veterans and new players. We could also try to re-buld minor factions as custom factions. Endless possibilities.
