First post, and all. Forgive me if I have no idea what im talking about but;

I would like to see a simple "add faction" button where you fill out options and attributes similar to a created player in a sports game, or something similar with everything being offered in a clear and concise manner that requires no experience and a low learning curve



And when I say everything, I mean everything



like when adding research, have a clear button that says "add effect" which gives you options upon options.



What I mean by spreadsheet is just that. imagine an excell file, such as this:http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=115&t=6851

Everything thats needed is shown to you. From what ive seen, the UI is really good; clean and clear, exactly how I picture the mod tools



Now, I am newer than new to this game, but I love how the game design is set up, allowing us to vote, so I figure it would be easy to add aswell.

I am currently in school for game design, so modding is the next step for actually designing anything, and making it easier to create ideas is always good



But its still early in the cycle, but ideas are never bad, so heres my first

I do believe they are implementing this in the full game.
