Gah, once again, your's is better than what I came up with. To the editing window!

I think there is a small bug affecting that right now, yes. However, if you have the Sheredyn faction selected and then click "Add" for a custom faction, you'll get their affinity and portrait. If you started on someone else and switch to the Sheredyn, you'll be stuck with Old Emperor.

Or at least just eliminate the duplicates. It's a little silly seeing two different names and backstories on identical-looking heroes.

Albeit, I also feel like this is just the mod-community being lazy, as we could fix it so damn easily. lol

I know. Still... Dare to dream, right? Hell, even the Automatons got their own Affinity. Seems like the least we could do is offer that to the Sheredyn. lol

Oh, wow, this got revived...

Well, I haven't seen much of anything around about more faction portraits. We're definitely getting new Heroes, but, doesn't seem that way about Faction portraits. I wouldn't hold my break on new ships or a new affinity for the Sheredyn, though. They are just a group within the UE, and were only meant to be a special skin for people who get the Emperor Edition of the game.

And the Facebook page also confirmed that he'll be in hologram form for the diplomacy screen. So, even more hope for the possibility that we might get additional portraits and holograms for the create-a-faction too. Or, at least, the small hope that "official" new factions, perhaps like whichever one wins the contest or future DLC, might get a unique portrait and hologram as well.

Oh, that is so many kinds of cool. This is exactly what I was hoping to hear (More Sheredyn uniqueness). Now, custom ships and affinity, and we'll be all set!

Assuming there are multiple possible portraits for each faction/species, it would be great if the AIs would revert to an alternate portrait to avoid duplicating the appearance of a player's leader. It seems rather disconcerting and potentially confusing to me to interact with a leader that looks exactly like your own (or somebody else's) in the same game.

More portraits to choose from would be nice, perhaps variations of the race portraits as they are now, or the ability to add you own custom portraits

The patch today gave the Sheredyn faction a new portrait. I like the guy, I really do. It's just a shame that the hologram in the diplomacy screen is still the old emperor of the UE...Hopefully they'll keep going with this and give the Sheredyn their own hologram with the next update.

So, this considered, I imagine the devs will have no issue giving us more portraits down the line, or modders being able to add their own in later, when modding tools are released.

Is it just me or does the new Sheredyn logo not work for custom Sheredyn races?

I have a strong feeling that they'll do all that eventually. If not, the modders certainly will. Some have been finding ways to let us do this already, and this is without the full modding set released yet.

So one way or another, we'll be able to build the custom factions that we want.

I really hope they do. As well as allowing to choose the affinity trait, ships style and portrait of our own choosing.

But since that's all just cosmetic... I can wait!

It would be nice to have multiple pictures for each species to choose from.
