As I complained, there are not enough customization and specialization options for creating a new race. So I decided to start a mod to fix this; for now, I don't plan on new affinities until I'm finished with faction traits. All traits (except cheating ones) have and will have three levels max, until ES supports showing more than three levels in HUD.

If you want something changed, added, or removed, please don't hesitate to tell me so.



Current version: 0.0.28 (will be 0.2.x when I get to positive and negative traits, and 0.3.x when it will come to affinities)

Quality over Quantity: produces more industry and less dust per planet

Quantity over Quality: produces more dust and less industry per planet

Food for Thought: produces more science and less food per population unit

A hungry belly has no ears: produces more food and less science per population unit

Decentralized Leadership: increased starting academy size, increased turns before new hero

One Will, One Purpose: drastically decreased academy size, increased turns before new hero, but heroes progress hella lot faster

Interdependency: building costs go down, but so is your ships' hit points and max weight

Self-sufficiency: building costs go up, but so is your ships' hit points and max weight

Governments: a set of mutually exclusive one-level traits to imitate a government

- Feudalism: same as Monarchy, but even more money - just not as much food though

- Republic: less money, more food and science

- Democracy: same as Republic, but numbers are decreased

- Ochlocracy: more money, lessfood

- Communism: a pretty heavy penalty on science, but new heroes arrive quicker and ships are both cheaper and stronger

- Meritocracy: bonus to all resources, but new heroes arrive slower and ships are both more expensive and less effective in battle

- Theocracy: penalty on both science and industry, with even quicker new heroes arrival and also bonus to ships cost and weapons' strength

Weapon specialization: bonus damage and accuracy of selected weapon type, penalty for those of other weapon types

Ironclads: less max damage, more min damage and hp for ships

Booster Tanks: more speed, less max weight for ships

none yet



{cheats}

Bonus points and Challenge points - mutually exclusive traits that produce or subtract trait points. 9 levels.

Nice traits.



Any plants for traits that focus on planet/temprature types?

Yeah, lots of good ideas there, keep it up Hisu. Too busy modding myself to try it though (i'm not a big fan of making my own race, sorry).

Igncom1, of course. I guess somewhere along the line I'll rename the mod to Specialists or something like this ^_^

Are you going to set these traits to the defult factions?

Igncom1, can't really say. It'd change too much; I was intending the mod just for precise tweaking for an own custom race. But I like your idea.

Until new hologram can be created, customed fictions will always be less, interesting. But new traits are always welcomed!

Well they could be factions of the same species, or international coalitions of some of the races. :P



Id love to see some more hissho factions.

well, that's why I used horatio to make new fictions, they should look the same anyway
